Terms of use
What this site is for, what it is not, and the conditions under which you may rely on its content.
Informational only. This site is not legal advice and does not replace official instructions.
Using this site
This site is a bilingual green card preparation guide. It exists to help applicants and sponsors prepare documents more clearly, reduce avoidable confusion around interviews, intake, medical exams, and appointment logistics, and make public information easier to understand in English and Spanish. These terms describe what the site is, what it is not, and the honest limits of what you can rely on it for. They do not create a contract between you and any attorney and do not override official instructions from a government agency.
Informational preparation guidance only
Every page, checklist, document guide, and suggestion on this site is informational preparation guidance. It is drawn from publicly available official materials (such as USCIS and U.S. Department of State pages, consulate instructions, and the DOS Visa Bulletin) and from practical notes assembled by the maintainer. It is not a ruling on your case, it is not a filing on your behalf, and it is not legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
No attorney-client relationship
Using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the maintainer, the contributors, or anyone associated with the project. Submitting a feedback form, reading a checklist result, or asking a question does not form a confidential legal engagement. If your case involves legal questions you need answered for your specific circumstances, please consult a licensed immigration attorney or an accredited representative.
Verify against official sources before acting
Even when this repository is carefully maintained, official instructions control your case. Before relying on any item in a checklist, any document description, or any process explanation, you should verify the current version against the relevant official source: the USCIS form page for a USCIS form, the consulate page for a post-specific requirement, the DOS Visa Bulletin for priority-date questions, and the post-specific pre-interview checklist for interview-day requirements. Government instructions change, and the controlling version is the one currently published by the agency, not the version summarized here.
High-risk situations require professional help
The site is deliberately conservative about topics that can change the outcome of a case. You should seek qualified legal help for situations such as criminal history, prior immigration violations, waivers, inadmissibility concerns, custody, adoption or identity-document complications, and unusual document availability issues. These are specifically called out in the project's disclaimer because a general preparation guide is not the right surface for advice on any of them.
No warranty, no guarantee of outcome
The site and its contents are provided as-is, without any guarantee of completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose. The site does not guarantee eligibility, approval, or admission in any case. It does not make legal judgments about complex immigration issues. It does not replace individualized legal advice. It does not guarantee that a checklist or a page is complete for every case. If you discover an error or an out-of-date reference, the feedback form and the public issue tracker are the preferred places to report it.
