Read this before using this software.
This project provides general reference material about U.S. immigration law and tools for organizing documents and producing drafts. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney.
Immigration law is fact-specific. Guidance that is correct for one applicant can be wrong for another with a similar profile. Nothing here has been reviewed against your particular circumstances, because nothing here knows them.
Using this software, reading its documentation, or receiving output generated with it does not create an attorney-client relationship with the author, any contributor, or anyone else. No one associated with this project is your lawyer. Communications with or about this software are not privileged and are not confidential.
This project was written by a petitioner documenting their own process, not by an immigration lawyer, and it has not been reviewed by one. It reflects one person's understanding of publicly available regulations and guidance.
Immigration rules, fees, processing times, adjudication standards, and agency policy change frequently and sometimes without notice. Content here reflects a point in time and may be out of date, incomplete, or wrong.
Facts with a short shelf life are collected in
skills/petition-strategy/references/volatile.md with a verification date. Verify
anything you will file or pay on against primary sources — uscis.gov,
travel.state.gov, and the Federal Register — before acting.
This software is designed to be driven by large language models. Models make confident, plausible, and wrong statements. They misremember regulations, invent citations, and produce text that reads authoritative while being inaccurate.
Every draft, argument, and factual claim produced with this software must be reviewed by a human, and legal content must be reviewed by a licensed immigration attorney before filing. Do not submit generated text to a government agency without that review.
Immigration forms and petitions are signed under penalty of perjury. You — not this software, its author, or any model — are responsible for the truth and accuracy of everything you submit. Misrepresentation carries consequences up to and including denial, revocation, and permanent inadmissibility.
This software deliberately does not fill out forms.
This software is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, as set out in the MIT License. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author and contributors accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from its use — including but not limited to petition denial, revocation, missed deadlines, loss of status, removal, financial loss, or lost opportunity.
You use this software entirely at your own risk.
This project stores nothing and transmits nothing on your behalf. A case workspace holds extremely sensitive material — passports, tax returns, medical results, salary records. Where you store it, whether you push it to a remote, and who you share it with are your decisions and your responsibility. Do not commit a case workspace to a public repository.
Note that if you drive this software with a hosted AI model, the content you share reaches that provider under its own terms. Understand those terms before pasting sensitive documents.
This material addresses United States immigration law only, and only the O-1A and EB-1A classifications. It does not cover other visa categories, other countries, or any other area of law.
