Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the visa requirements come from?

Visa requirements are sourced from USCIS, State Department, and other official government agencies. However, regulations change frequently, so always verify requirements on official government sites before filing.

Can I use the generated petition narrative in my actual petition?

The generated narratives provide excellent starting points and structure. However, you must customize them with client-specific details, verified facts, and legal analysis before submission to USCIS.

What documents can the PDF tool handle?

The PDF tool can extract and summarize text from any PDF document. It works well with birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, and police records, but image-heavy documents may require manual review.

How accurate is the country data?

Country data is sourced from World Bank and government sources and updated regularly. However, political situations can change rapidly. Always supplement with current news and embassy updates for security assessments.
