Case statuses come straight from USCIS. Explanations use USCIS's official wording. My guides are checked against official sources and show when they were last verified; when something may have changed, I look it up on official sites. If I am not sure about something, I will tell you plainly.

You do not need an account to chat. I only ask for your email if you want to save your cases and get alerts or receive something by email.
