Editorial responsibility
Review labels have different meanings
Prepared by identifies the publication or individual responsible for the draft. Sources checked identifies the date the listed primary sources were verified. An attorney-reviewed label is a separate claim that requires documented review by a named licensed lawyer.
The site does not convert an organizational author into a person schema, list an attorney who has not reviewed the page, or imply that an official agency approved the article.
- Core legal guides should identify the agency, procedural posture, decision points, evidence limits, risk factors, and current primary sources.
- Fees, editions, addresses, deadlines, visa availability, processing times, and agency procedures must be linked to a current official source or described as requiring verification.
- Material legal changes trigger a new source check; cosmetic edits do not reset a legal review date.
- A named attorney's review applies only to the page version and date actually reviewed.

Purpose and scope
Articles help readers understand documents, prepare questions, and locate primary sources. They provide general information only and do not decide eligibility, strategy, deadlines, or outcomes for an individual case.
Source priority
- Current statutes, regulations, official forms, instructions, policy manuals, and agency notices.
- USCIS, EOIR, Department of State, Department of Labor, ICE, and CBP pages.
- Court opinions and other primary legal material when a page genuinely requires them.
- Secondary explanations only when they add context and are clearly distinguishable from controlling authority.
High-stakes information
Forms, fees, filing locations, deadlines, visa availability, court schedules, and agency procedures can change. Pages direct readers to the controlling notice or official source and avoid presenting a general summary as a case-specific answer.
Authorship and professional review
The site does not claim attorney review, accredited-representative review, or government approval unless a named, verifiable reviewer is actually identified. Organizational bylines describe the publisher; they do not imply a professional credential.
Neutrality and conflicts
The publication does not rank lawyers, accept payment for placement, sell referrals, or promise outcomes. Current commercial facts are stated in the advertising disclosure.
Corrections
Readers may report an error with the page URL and a supporting source. Material errors are corrected in the affected page; see the corrections policy for the process.
