What makes an immigration source credible
A credible immigration source does three things consistently:
1) Identifies the legal authority
Immigration outcomes are governed by federal statutes, regulations, and binding precedent.
2) Separates law from policy
Agency policy guidance may change faster than statutes and does not always equal enforceable law.
3) Explains real-world procedure
What happens next depends on posture, timeline, and which agency is involved.
