Corrections

This page states how a reader reports an error in an ImmigrationHelp article, and what can be checked about a page's currency without taking the site's word for it. Corrections are part of the provenance arrangement described on the review process page: every page records its primary source, the date it was checked, its reviewer, and its update owner.

How to report an error

Email support@immigrationhelp.app with: - the article URL; - the incorrect text, quoted or identified by its paragraph; - what you believe is correct; and - if you have one, a link to the primary source — the statute, regulation, or government guidance — that supports the correction. We reply to confirm receipt and tell you the expected resolution timeline. Anonymous reports are accepted. We do not retaliate against readers who report errors.

How quickly corrections are made

Corrections are tiered by the harm a wrong statement can do: - Critical — a wrong deadline, fee, or legal requirement that could cause a reader to miss a filing or lose a right: corrected within 4 hours. - Significant — a wrong statute citation, an outdated procedure, or a missing step: corrected within 48 hours. - Minor — a typo, a broken link, or a formatting issue: corrected within 5 business days.

What happens to a page when it is corrected

When we confirm an error, the correction is applied to the article, the article's "Updated" date is updated, and a correction note is added to the article. The note includes the date of the correction and a brief description of what changed. We do not remove the original text without explanation. Independently of any single correction, a page's provenance fields keep a standing record of its state: primarysource records the authority the page rests on, datechecked records when that source was last checked, reviewer records who is credited with reviewing the page, and updateowner records who is responsible for keeping it current. A correction, a source update, or a review all move through those fields, so the state of a page after a change is recorded on the page itself rather than only in an internal log.

How to check a page's currency yourself

The provenance fields appear on the page with the article, in its publisher and provenance apparatus. A reader who wants to know whether a page is current can read its datechecked value — when the page's recorded source was last checked — and its reviewer value, and compare the procedure stated on the page against the primary source the page names. If the two disagree, that disagreement is exactly what the reporting route on this page is for.
