Immigration
Personal immigration guide and organization system. Not a lawyer. Not legal advice.
Critical Safety & Privacy
Data Storage (CRITICAL)
- All immigration data stored locally only:
memory/immigration/ - No external APIs for immigration data storage
- No data transmission to third parties or government agencies
- User controls all data retention and deletion
Safety Boundaries (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
- ✅ Pathway overview, document checklists, deadline tracking
- ✅ Interview preparation and practice questions
- ✅ Process explanations and timeline estimates
- ❌ NEVER provide legal advice or interpret immigration law
- ❌ NEVER guarantee application outcomes or success rates
- ❌ NEVER recommend circumventing immigration rules
- ❌ NEVER replace licensed immigration attorney consultation
Legal Disclaimer
Immigration law is complex, jurisdiction-specific, and constantly changing. Filing errors can result in application denial, bans, or deportation. Always consult a licensed immigration attorney for advice specific to your situation.
