## Our Mission

Immigration policy in the United States changes constantly. New rules are published in the Federal Register, often written in dense legal language that's hard to parse — even for lawyers. For the millions of international students, H-1B workers, and visa holders whose lives depend on these policies, staying informed shouldn't require a law degree.

**The Visa Pulse** explains government publications and selected immigration reporting in plain language. We tell you what changed, who it affects, and what you need to do — in language anyone can understand.

## How It Works

Scheduled automation retrieves government publications and selected news coverage. The source-check panel shows recorded retrieval activity; a schedule alone is not evidence that a check succeeded. Here is the process:

1. **Monitor** — We track new publications from USCIS, DHS, the Department of State, and the Department of Labor for relevant rules, notices, and executive orders.
2. **Filter** — A multi-stage relevance system identifies documents that actually affect visa holders, screening out unrelated matches.
3. **Translate** — Each relevant document is analyzed and rewritten as a plain-language article covering what changed, who it affects, key dates, and what action to take.
4. **Publish** — Articles can be generated and published automatically after relevance and format checks. Those automated checks are not a human fact-check or legal review.

## Editorial verification

A policy status is shown as verified only when the record includes a government source and a verification date. A dated status describes what was verified then, not a guarantee that the rule remains unchanged today. Checks older than seven days are flagged for rechecking. A proposal label taken from a document type refers to the publication, not its current legal force.

Human review is identified by reviewer name and date on the article. If those fields are absent, no human review is recorded. Being included on our Creators page does not mean that person reviewed our automated coverage.

Related reports are grouped conservatively using an editorial event key, a shared document, or close headline and date matches. The timeline retains links to the reports and their sources. Grouping does not itself verify the claims.

To report an error, use our [contact page](/contact) and include the article URL and supporting source. Editorial corrections can be protected from automated replacement.

## Important Disclaimer

The Visa Pulse provides informational coverage of immigration policy changes. **This is not legal advice.** Immigration law is complex and individual circumstances vary significantly. Always consult a qualified immigration attorney for guidance on your specific situation.

Where a source link is available, we identify its domain and distinguish government documents from other reporting. If verification evidence is missing, we say so.
