Assembles from the record — invents nothing
The packet composes only from what the sealed case record already carries. A fact without a cited source is held as unverified; a form appears only where the record names it; a date appears only where a finding states it. The system originates no fact, no form, and no deadline.
Fail-closed by construction
Where the record is silent, the checklist says gather this and the date tools return cannot determine — never a guess. The walls hold even when that means a shorter, honest answer.
No stale data, by design
Form editions and Visa Bulletin cutoffs change constantly, so the division stores neither. It names form numbers without asserting an edition, and the bulletin tool echoes only the cutoff you cite — there is nothing in it that can silently go out of date.
Not advice — and not a notario
Non-lawyer immigration advice is the notario-fraud problem, and it is unlawful. This division recognizes, cites, and assembles work product for a licensed attorney or BIA-accredited representative to complete and adopt. It never advises on eligibility, selects a form, sets a deadline, or tells anyone what to file.
