Correction: Form I-485 can be filed online in family, employment and VAWA cases

Our Form I-485 guide said the green-card application did not accept online filing for most categories. USCIS's online-filing page (last reviewed October 7, 2026) lists standalone online filing for family-based, employment-based and VAWA applicants whose petition is already filed, and Form G-1055 (edition 10/07/26) lists an online fee of $1,390 against $1,440 on paper.

Correction: removed unsupported claims that DMVs, schools, hospitals, vital-records offices, banks and consulates do not share data with ICE

Several page families stated as fact that state and local offices, hospitals, vital-records offices, banks and consulates do not share information with USCIS or ICE. No primary source supports a blanket rule, and data sharing with ICE is in active litigation. We removed the claims on 230 pages (EN+ES) and now point readers to our IRS, Medicaid and New York DMV data-sharing case pages; the hospital-care pages now quote HIPAA's actual limits and its law-enforcement disclosure path (45 CFR 164.502(a), 164.512(f)).

Correction: the Supreme Court dismissed Genalo v. Black on September 11, 2026 — the October 13 argument on prolonged detention will not happen

Our case page said the Supreme Court would hear argument on October 13, 2026 on whether prolonged mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. 1226(c) requires a bond hearing. The case was dismissed on September 11, 2026 after the parties jointly stipulated to dismissal (the government said a New York pardon made respondent G.M.'s case moot and it would not seek vacatur of the decisions below). The same question returns in a new petition, Genalo v. D.C., No. 26-379, filed September 21, 2026.

Correction: property-tax pages carried a generic March deadline, a 1-5% late surcharge and, for Texas, an outdated $100,000 exemption

All 52 state property-tax pages (EN + ES) said homestead applications must generally be filed before March and that late payment costs a 1-5% surcharge in the first month; neither figure came from any state source. Those lines now point readers to the sourced table on each page and to the county assessor or tax collector. Texas is corrected to the Comptroller's figures: a $140,000 school-district homestead exemption (plus $60,000 at 65+ or disabled), a general application deadline before May 1, and, for taxes unpaid on Feb. 1, a 6% penalty plus 1% interest that reaches 12% on July 1.

Correction: hospital financial-assistance refund rule now includes its under-$5 exception

The 52 state free-hospital-care pages (EN + ES) said federal 501(r) rules require a nonprofit hospital to refund what an eligible patient paid above the discounted amount. The regulation, 26 CFR 1.501(r)-6(c)(6)(i)(C)(2), excepts an excess of less than $5 (or another amount the IRS sets in published guidance); the pages now say so.

CMS letter SHO #26-001 (April 8, 2026) keeps the other exceptions in 8 U.S.C. 1613(b), including Cuban/Haitian entrants, COFA migrants and LPR veterans or active-duty service members and certain family members; the sentence now names them.

Correction: skipping Selective Service registration no longer affects federal student aid

Two passages of the Selective Service guide (EN + ES) still listed federal student aid among the things failure to register can cost you, contradicting the FAQ below them. The FAFSA Simplification Act removed that requirement; Federal Student Aid's Dear Colleague Letter GEN-21-04 (June 11, 2021) says failing to register no longer affects Title IV aid eligibility.

Honduras consulates: addresses, phones and e-mails corrected from the Embassy of Honduras directory

The Embassy of Honduras in Washington now publishes a directory of its 19 consulates in the United States (hondurasemb.org/consulados). We re-read every office's page and corrected our 19 consulate pages: several offices have moved (the San Francisco consulate is in Oakland, Seattle's in Kent, Boston's in Chelsea, and the Dallas consulate is in Irving), and phones and e-mails changed across the network. Eight pages that said Honduras published no directory now cite it; the online appointment system still lists only 11 of the 19 offices, and the Houston consulate serves walk-ins in order of arrival. A 19th office in Kansas City (Overland Park, KS) is listed; we have no page for it yet. Peru: the Washington, D.C. office is a Consulate General, and the Orlando consulate general is listed by Peru's government with its own address.

Haiti and Syria TPS holder counts now use DHS's own figures

Our TPS pages gave two different counts for the same people: some used the National Immigration Forum's estimates (about 330,735 Haitian and 3,860 Syrian holders), while the TPS-by-country hub used DHS's. We now use DHS's own estimates everywhere, from its termination notices: about 352,959 Haitian TPS holders (90 FR 54733, Nov. 28, 2025) and 6,132 Syrian (90 FR 45398, Sept. 22, 2025), about 359,091 together. Venezuela's figure is unchanged for now because DHS's notices give different populations for different dates.

Correction: since July 4, 2025, Medicare is limited to citizens, green-card holders, Cuban and Haitian entrants and COFA residents; current enrollees outside those groups lose it January 4, 2027

Our Medicare page said a lawfully present worker who is not a permanent resident (deferred action including DACA, TPS, DED) and has 40 work quarters gets premium-free Part A at 65. That reasoning from 42 U.S.C. 426(a) and 402(y) missed a later law. Section 71201 of Public Law 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, added section 1899C to the Social Security Act: a person "may be entitled to, or enrolled for, benefits under this title only if the individual is" a citizen or national of the United States, a lawful permanent resident, a Cuban and Haitian entrant, or someone lawfully residing in the US under a Compact of Free Association. For people who were already entitled or enrolled on July 4, 2025, the limit applies beginning 18 months after enactment, which is January 4, 2027; the Commissioner of Social Security had to complete a review of those enrollees within one year of enactment and must notify each person identified that their entitlement or enrollment will end on that date. The page now quotes the statute, lists the four groups, gives the transition date, and says it describes the law text, not how the Social Security Administration is carrying out the review. The earlier September 10, 2026 correction on this page is superseded.

Correction: the San Francisco Immigration Court closed on September 4, 2026 and its cases went to the Concord Immigration Court; our pages still showed it as open

In a notice dated May 1, 2026, EOIR announced that "the San Francisco Immigration Court will permanently close, and its Sansome Street location will become a hearing location under the administrative control of the Concord Immigration Court, at the close of business on Sept. 4, 2026," that it would issue new hearing notices to everyone whose case was reassigned to Concord, and that those cases would be heard at the Concord Immigration Court or remotely. An earlier EOIR notice (April 10, 2026) had already ended hearings at the court's Montgomery Street location on May 1, 2026. EOIR's court listing, updated September 24, 2026, shows ten California courts and no San Francisco court. Our San Francisco court page still gave the Montgomery Street address and phone as a working court, and the California court guide, three ICE field-office pages and our court dataset still counted it. The San Francisco page now explains the closure and how to confirm your current court and hearing date (your latest hearing notice, EOIR's line 1-800-898-7180, or the ACIS portal); the California guide lists 10 courts; the court dataset records San Francisco as closed; and the legal-deserts figures were recomputed (72 courts nationally, 18.2 recognized nonprofits per court).

Correction: ICE facility pages said the ERO field office handles check-ins, and called EOIR's main line a Board of Immigration Appeals number

151 ICE facility pages and the 24 field-office pages (EN + ES) said the ERO field office phone handles ICE check-in, supervision and reporting. ICE's field-office directory (updated Sep 2, 2026) says the field offices "are not check-in locations" and sends check-ins to ice.gov/check-in; the pages now say only that. Where ICE's own facility page and its field-office directory print different field-office numbers (48 pages, 14 offices), both numbers are now shown, each labelled with the ICE page it comes from. The number given for the Board of Immigration Appeals, (703) 305-0289, is the main line of EOIR, the Justice Department agency the BIA belongs to, as printed on EOIR's own pages; it is now labelled that way.

On September 17, 2026, all 786 Webex hearing-room links published on the immigration-court pages were re-tested against eoir.webex.com. Seventeen returned Webex's 'room not found' page; sixteen were replaced in both languages with a link to EOIR's 'Find an immigration court and access internet-based hearings' page (the judge's name and telephone access code were kept, because a dead room does not mean the judge has left), and one was a misspelling of a room that still works and now points to it. The remaining 769 links answered normally. Room links rot as judges move; they are re-tested monthly.

Correction: the DACA renewal-delays lawsuit is a records (FOIA) case, not a case that can order faster renewals

The Form I-821D renewal page described East Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. USCIS (N.D. Cal. 3:26-cv-06367) as a suit 'over severe DACA renewal delays' without saying what it asks for. The docket lists its cause as 5 U.S.C. § 552 (Freedom of Information Act): it asks the court to force USCIS and ICE to release their internal records about the delays, and cannot order USCIS to adjudicate renewals faster. The page now says so, notes the stipulated scheduling order entered September 15, 2026, and rolls its 'no ruling has changed the procedure' date forward from August 17 to September 17, 2026. The practical advice is unchanged: file at day 150.

Correction: the immigration-judge, Webex and dial-in tables on every state and city court page were re-pulled from EOIR — and the Spanish pages, which had been left four months behind English, now match

Each immigration-court page carries a table of the judges sitting at that court with the judge's Webex hearing link and telephonic access code. Those tables were hand-maintained and had drifted: the English state pages were stamped "EOIR-verified" while the Spanish twins still carried the 2026-05-26 matrix, so a Spanish-speaking reader was being handed judges who had transferred months earlier. All 122 pages — 31 state pages and 30 individual court pages, in both languages — were rebuilt on September 17, 2026 from EOIR's own listing at justice.gov/eoir/eoir-immigration-court-listing: 75 courts and 792 judge rows, parsed once and written to English and Spanish in the same run, taking the state tables from 815 rows to 756. Examples of what was wrong: the Denver table listed André Carman, Jack D. Patten III, Jeremy Sibert and Jennifer C. Whitko, none of whom EOIR lists at Denver (Carman is on the Concord, California list), while Andrew Hurd and Tyler Wood, who are there, were missing; Salt Lake City listed Stephanie Arrache and James K. Glober, both now at Concord, and Joseph Q. Andelin, who is on no court's list, while Grant Pattison was missing; Honolulu listed Demetrius Cheeks, who is not there, and omitted Howard Hom, who is; Charlotte listed Ellen Karesh, who is not on EOIR's Charlotte list; the Annandale, Virginia table had 43 judges where EOIR lists 23, and the El Paso Service Processing Center table had 22 where EOIR lists 5. EOIR also no longer lists a San Francisco Immigration Court: its three judges — ACIJ Julie Nelson, Steven Kirchner and Frank Seminerio — all appear on the Concord list, and the California pages now say that instead of printing a court that no longer exists. The closed Batavia, New York court keeps its explanatory note. Thirteen judges whose EOIR-published Webex rooms no longer open keep pointing at EOIR's hearing-access page rather than at a dead room, and that decision is now carried across both languages and both page families automatically. Both languages are now rebuilt from EOIR's list in a single automated pass, so the Spanish tables can no longer fall behind the English ones.

Correction: H.R.1 is the 2025 reconciliation law, not the 2026 one

Ten passages across five English pages and their Spanish twins — the asylum annual fee, the TPS-by-country hub, the ITIN application guide and the ITIN tax-credit guide — introduced H.R.1 as "the 2026 reconciliation law". The law was signed on July 4, 2025: the Department of Homeland Security's own Federal Register notice on the fees it created opens "On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72 (HR-1)", and the site's own hr1_fees.json says the same. What happened in 2026 was the fiscal-year inflation adjustment of the fees, not the law. Every passage now names the law by its year, its public-law number and its signing date. On the ITIN tax-credit page the error also contradicted the next sentence, which already said "the 2025 law".

Correction: the USCIS processing time is the 80%-of-cases figure, not a median

The USCIS processing-times movement page and the datasets index, in both languages, described the numbers we publish as "median processing times". They are not medians. USCIS publishes the time within which it says 80% of recent cases were completed, and our own dataset records that: uscis_processing_times.json states "USCIS publishes '80% of cases are completed within X'". The difference matters to a reader planning around a filing — half of cases finishing inside a window is a very different promise from four in five. Four pages now say what the figure actually is, matching the wording the main processing-times page already used.

Correction: the state DMV pages did not tell you a federal rule now limits non-domiciled CDLs

The commercial-driver's-licence row on all 53 state DMV pages, in both languages, said only that a CDL needs a Social Security number and lawful status. It did not mention that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has since narrowed who may hold one. FMCSA's final rule, published February 13, 2026 and effective March 16, 2026, reaffirms its September 29, 2025 interim final rule and limits eligibility for non-domiciled Commercial Learner's Permits and CDLs, for foreign-domiciled individuals, to those holding a specific, verifiable employment-based nonimmigrant status. A separate FMCSA exemption granted May 14, 2026 lets any state issue one to a citizen of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia or Palau with a valid Freely Associated State passport and a Form I-94. Both now appear on every state page, with links to the Federal Register. Someone on a work permit was being told to budget for CDL training that a federal rule may have already closed to them.

Correction: the internet-setup guides no longer advertise the Affordable Connectivity Program in their page summary, and the cross-border tax FAQ now names the Form 8938 threshold that actually applies to you

Two leftovers from the September 10 correction wave. The internet-without-SSN guides (EN + ES) had already been corrected in the body to say the Affordable Connectivity Program ended, but their meta description and page summary still listed "low-income programs (ACP)" — the FCC states the ACP "ended on June 1, 2024, due to a lack of additional funding from Congress" (fcc.gov/acp), so the summary now names Lifeline, the program that is still running. Separately, the cross-border tax calculator FAQ (EN + ES) gave the FATCA Form 8938 thresholds as ">$50K (single) or >$100K (MFJ)" with no indication of who they apply to. Per the IRS, those are the thresholds for taxpayers living in the United States — and even there the test is more than $50,000 on the last day of the tax year OR more than $75,000 at any time during the year ($100,000 / $150,000 married filing jointly). Taxpayers living abroad file only above $200,000 / $300,000 (unmarried) or $400,000 / $600,000 (joint). The FAQ now states both sets and says which is which, and the IRS FATCA summary was added to the page's source list. 4 pages touched (2 EN + 2 ES).

Correction: the ITIN bank pages for every state carried a stale FDIC date, fourteen wrong Bank of America branch counts, and told readers in 24 states that their state had "limited coverage" when its own table showed hundreds of branches

Three defects were fixed across all 104 ITIN-banking state pages (52 jurisdictions, English and Spanish). First, every page's FAQ attributed its Bank of America branch figure to "FDIC data (June 2026)" while the FDIC table directly above it was captioned with the real vintage of the feed that produced it (2026-09-08, api.fdic.gov/banks/locations). The date was written into the page text once and never moved again when the feed refreshed. The FAQ now says "per the FDIC branch data shown on this page" and carries no date at all, so the table's caption is the single place the vintage lives. Second, fourteen states carried a branch count in that FAQ that no longer matched the feed rendering the table on the same page — Ohio's FAQ said 51 next to a table saying 52, South Carolina said 62 next to 61, California 687 next to 685, and Kentucky and Minnesota were low rather than high (7 vs 8, 22 vs 23). Every count in the cohort was recomputed from the FDIC feed; these were wrong numbers inside FAQPage structured data, which is what an AI assistant or a rich result is most likely to quote. Third, 24 pages said "<State> has limited coverage of traditional banks for ITIN clients. The best options are digital neobanks." That sentence came from a hand-typed list of states, not from the data, and it contradicted the page's own table: South Carolina got it with all three national banks present and 1,194 branches from 76 banks; North Dakota with 411 branches from 71 banks; Rhode Island and Oklahoma while the same page's FAQ was telling the reader to walk into a Bank of America branch. It is replaced by a sentence computed from the FDIC feed, naming which of the three national banks with a documented ITIN path have branches in that state and which do not, and pointing at the table for the counts. No branch count, institution total or date is written into the page text any more: the data date is rendered from the feed at build time, and the counts that remain in the FAQ are re-synced from the feed by the maintenance script each time it runs, so a data refresh no longer leaves the words and the table in contradiction.

Correction: the Puerto Rico ITIN banking page called Puerto Rico a state, cited a census release one year behind its siblings, and counted only NCUA credit unions while the island's real co-op sector is supervised by COSSEC

Three fixes on the Puerto Rico page, English and Spanish. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated US territory, not a state, and the demographics line said "the state's 3,254,885 people"; it now says the territory's. The same line cited the American Community Survey 2023 5-year estimates while all fifty sibling pages cite 2024. We queried the Census Bureau API directly for Puerto Rico (2024 ACS 5-year, the Puerto Rico Community Survey): 3,234,309 residents, 87,466 born outside the United States, and 3,200,873 of Hispanic or Latino origin — 2.7% and 99.0%. The page and its meta description now carry those figures. Third, the credit-union block showed only NCUA-insured institutions — eight of them, largely mainland-affiliated federal credit unions — while telling the reader credit unions are "often the most ITIN-flexible option." Puerto Rico's own cooperativas de ahorro y crédito are not NCUA institutions and so appear nowhere in that count: they are supervised and insured, share and deposit insurance up to $250,000 per member, by COSSEC, the Corporación Pública para la Supervisión y Seguro de Cooperativas de Puerto Rico, created by Ley Núm. 114-2001. A sourced sentence now points readers there. No cooperativa counts were invented — COSSEC publishes its own industry statistics and we cite the agency, not a number we could not verify. The page also no longer says Puerto Rico has "limited coverage of traditional banks": none of Bank of America, Wells Fargo or Chase has a branch on the island, but the FDIC table on the page shows 260 insured branches led by Banco Popular de Puerto Rico with 156, and the text now says that instead.

Correction: the Affidavit of Support income table was two years stale, the U visa's sibling rule was wrong, and two official State Department pages disagree on whether entering the visa lottery costs $1.00 or nothing

Fourteen verified defects across the procedures, datasets and tools trees, fixed in English and Spanish together. The most consequential: the Affidavit of Support pages published the 2024 Form I-864P income table — a sponsor for a household of four was told $38,750 when USCIS's chart, "effective beginning Mar. 1, 2026," requires $41,250 at 125% of the poverty guidelines; the table now renders live from our own HHS dataset with both the 125% and the active-duty 100% columns. The same pages said the sponsor's promise "lasts 10 years": 8 U.S.C. 1183a(a)(2)-(3) sets no term at all — the affidavit is enforceable until naturalization or 40 qualifying quarters, and the page's own list of ending events already said so. On the U visa, the site listed derivative siblings as "unmarried siblings under 21"; the statute says unmarried siblings under 18 on the date the principal applied, and only when the principal is under 21 — a principal 21 or older can include only a spouse and children. On the Diversity Visa pages, NACARA was described as adding 5,000 visas to a 60,000 cap: 8 U.S.C. 1151(e) sets the level at 55,000 and Pub. L. 105-100 subtracts up to 5,000 from it, so about 50,000 are available and no 60,000 cap exists. Those pages also called any pre-selection charge a scam. State's own fee table now lists a "Diversity Visa Registration Fee (paid at time of registration only by the principal applicant) $1.00" while State's DV entry page still says "There is no cost to register for the DV Program" — both are quoted and neither is declared the winner. The DV pages also promised a DV-2027 registration window in October-November 2025; State has published no DV-2027 instructions at all, and its instructions page still reads "The processing requirements below are for the DV-2026 program." On tax pages: an ITIN filer was told the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning credits were available, but P.L. 119-21 § 70606 rewrote 26 U.S.C. 25A(g)(1) to require the taxpayer's own Social Security number "to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025," so both close from tax year 2026 (a 2025 return is unaffected); the non-resident page said a 30% rate applies to US-source income generally, when the IRS says effectively connected income — wages included — is taxed "at graduated rates … the same rates that apply to U.S. citizens and residents" and the flat 30% reaches only unconnected FDAP income; the treaty page dated Hungary's termination for non-withholding taxes to January 1, 2025 when Treasury's own notice says January 1, 2024, and counted 68 treaties in force when the IRS flags Hungary "Treaty Terminated" (Belarus and Russia are flagged "Partially Suspended"). Also fixed: the naturalization pages said an absence of more than a year "automatically" breaks continuous residence without noting that 6-to-12-month absences are presumed to break it too (8 CFR 316.5(c)(1)), and described the 65/20 civics exception as a 20-question test needing 6 correct when the officer asks 10 from a designated bank of 20; the border-wait dataset claimed 82 land ports when the file holds 85 crossings at 53 ports; the TPS work-permit dataset headline said "seven terminations" when its own data shows 11 of 15 designations terminated; the asylum annual-fee pages still said the rule was "open for public comment" 73 days after comments closed on June 29, 2026; and Self was listed as an ITIN-friendly bank on six pages when it sells a Credit Builder Loan and a secured credit card, not a deposit account with a debit card.

Correction: every state DMV page carried invented teen-driver ages, and told readers a driving-privilege card counts as an I-9 identity document

A single template row was repeated across 52 English and 52 Spanish state DMV pages: "Learner's permit — typically 15-15.5 years old", "Provisional/junior license — typically 16-17 years old", and "Auto-converts to full license at 18." None of those figures came from any state. Delaware, the page that exposed it, sets the Level One Learner's Permit at "at least 16 years old and less than 18 years old" and its full-licence minimum at 17 — the page's own key-facts table already said 17, so the row contradicted the page it sat on. Every row now renders the value our own dataset holds for that state (website/data/dmv/state_general.json), and the generator reads the dataset instead of a guess. A second bullet on 53 English and 53 Spanish pages told readers a "standard or undocumented license" counts as an I-9 List B identity document; Delaware's DMV says its Driving Privilege Card "will NOT be considered a valid form of identification" and the card is printed "Not Valid for Identification" on its face, so the bullet was split and the caveat added. Delaware's own card row also said the card requires "DE residency for 6+ months + payment of DE income tax for 2+ years" — the DMV requires a Certification of Filing Compliance showing Delaware taxes were FILED for the previous two years, and publishes no months-of-residency test.

Correction: state DMV pages hinted a matrícula consular "may" be accepted — in the states whose own rules require US-agency proof of lawful presence

"Depends on the state. [State] may accept matrícula consular under certain circumstances" appeared on the English and Spanish page of every jurisdiction that does NOT issue a licence or ID without regard to immigration status — precisely the states where a consular ID cannot carry an applicant. Texas puts the requirement in statute: an applicant who is not a US citizen "must present to the department documentation issued by the appropriate United States agency that authorizes the applicant to be in the United States" (Tex. Transp. Code § 521.142(a)). Kentucky tells non-US citizens they "must provide proof of identity and lawful status"; North Dakota requires "proof of identity, date of birth, and legal presence in the United States" from every applicant; Tennessee requires "Citizenship or Legal Presence"; Michigan accepts only "a Canadian driver's license or a valid foreign passport" among foreign identity documents. Each page now says a matrícula consular, issued by a foreign consulate rather than a US agency, cannot meet that requirement, and points at the agency's own current document list. Puerto Rico was written separately: it issues a provisional licence under Ley 97-2013, so its page distinguishes the two credentials instead of asserting a flat no.

Correction: the SNAP gross-income limit had no elderly or disability exception, and benefit pages promised a child's benefits "never count against you"

Fifty English and fifty Spanish SNAP state pages answered "how much do I get" with a flat "Max gross income: 130% FPL." Under 7 CFR 273.9(a) a household containing a member age 60 or older or with a disability "shall meet the net income eligibility standards" only — it is exempt from the gross-income test entirely — and categorically eligible households meet neither test. A household that would have read itself out of SNAP now sees the exception. Separately, across the Medicaid and SNAP state pages, the hubs and the public-charge guide, the site told readers that benefits used by their US-citizen children "never count against you." USCIS policy alert PA-2026-09, effective 18 September 2026, does say USCIS "does not attribute to the alien the receipt of means-tested public benefits if the benefit is received by the applicant's relatives, including children" — but it adds that where a relative the applicant is legally obliged to support qualifies "based on the alien's income or assets falling below a certain level, then officers should consider the alien's income or assets falling below the threshold as part of the assets, resources, and financial status factor." That caveat is now on every page that made the promise. The Spanish SNAP hub also still answered the public-charge question with a bare "No" eight days before the 2022 rule's rescission takes effect (91 FR 45324); it now carries the date.

Correction: three know-your-rights errors — a regulation that never says "judicial", ICE's first courthouse directive described as a narrowing, and one E-Verify clock where there are two

On the page whose whole thesis is the difference between a judge's warrant and an administrative one, we attributed the judicial qualifier to the regulation itself: "federal regulation instructs that immigration officers may not enter non-public areas without consent or a judicial warrant (8 CFR 287.8(f)(2))." The regulation says "either a warrant or the consent of the owner or other person in control of the site to be inspected" — the judge-signed requirement for a home comes from the Fourth Amendment, not from that text. The sensitive-locations timeline listed "2018 — internal narrowing — reduced courthouse limitations", preceded by a 2013 courthouse guidance we cannot source; ICE Directive 11072.1 (issued and effective 10 January 2018) records "Superseded: None" on its own header, which makes it ICE's first courthouse directive rather than a narrowing of anything. And the workplace page gave a single deadline after an E-Verify mismatch: "contest within 8 federal working days." E-Verify runs two clocks — 10 federal government working days from issuance of the mismatch to tell your employer you will act, then eight federal government working days from receiving the Referral Date Confirmation to contact DHS or SSA. A worker counting eight days from the mismatch was counting the wrong clock.

Correction: childcare pages sent parents to a "[State] Department of Human Services" that most states do not have

The childcare-by-state generator ended its "immigrant-friendly states" section with "Verify with [State] Department of Human Services" on all 52 English and 52 Spanish state pages. Most states have no agency by that name — North Carolina runs SNAP and childcare through the Department of Health and Human Services, Arizona through the Department of Economic Security, and so on — so the sentence sent a reader searching for an office that does not exist, on a page that already renders the state's real portal, its CCDF programme name and its application methods a few lines above. Each page now points at those official contacts and at the state's childcare.gov page, which names the agency; the generator was corrected so a rebuild cannot restore the invented name.

Correction: our Cuba and Nicaragua “voting from the US” pages described a procedure that does not exist — neither country lets citizens abroad vote

Four pages (Cuba and Nicaragua, English and Spanish) told readers their country had “established consular voting… and/or postal voting” for citizens abroad, listed presidential, legislative and referendum ballots as available, and gave a registration deadline of “30-90 days before election day.” None of that is true for either country. Cuba's Ley No. 127, “Ley Electoral” (Gaceta Oficial No. 60 Ordinaria, 19 August 2019), art. 7 c) requires “residencia efectiva en el país por un período no menor de dos (2) años antes de las elecciones”, and art. 8 c) withholds the vote from anyone who does not meet that residence requirement — living in the US removes the right itself, and Cuba's President is elected by the deputies of the National Assembly (arts. 220-224), not by voters. Nicaragua's Ley No. 331 (reforms incorporated, La Gaceta – Diario Oficial No. 92, 20 May 2022), art. 109 makes an overseas vote conditional on the Consejo Supremo Electoral deciding, six months before the electoral process begins, that four operating conditions can be met, including an overseas voter registry it has never built; the decision has never been taken. The four pages were rewritten to quote the statutes, explain why no procedure exists, and say what a citizen can actually do; the same fabricated “30-90 day” deadline was removed from the other 20 voting-from-abroad pages, Mexico's real window was published (LGIPE art. 334: 1 September to 15 December of the year before the election) along with the internet-voting channel that 67.86% of the 2024 overseas roll used, and the generator template was corrected so a rebuild cannot restore the falsehoods.

Correction: closed Nicaraguan consulates listed as open, two moved Mexican consulates, and a UN mission published as a consulate

A sweep of the consulate directory found addresses that would send a reader to the wrong building or to no building at all. Nicaragua closed its consulates in Los Angeles and Houston on 19 January 2024 and in New Orleans on 20 January 2024 — in Los Angeles by a notice on the door reading “el Consulado de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles cesa funciones a partir de hoy 19 de enero de 2024” — and the San Francisco office stopped serving the public; only Miami, New York and Washington, D.C. still operate, yet our hub said “7 consular offices” and every city page read as open. Mexico's consulates in Oklahoma City and Fresno have moved: SRE's directory (last updated 6 August 2026) gives 1131 W Sheridan Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73106, tel. (405) 753-5622 — our page had the old 401 Northwest 16th Street and a number that no longer reaches the office — and 7435 N Ingram Ave., Fresno, CA 93711 in place of 2409 Merced Street. The Honduras and Ecuador New York pages printed 866 United Nations Plaza with a green “verified” badge: that is each country's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, which issues no passports or civil-registry documents, and the actual consulate address sat further down the same page. The Argentine consulate in Atlanta is at 53 Perimeter Center East, Suite #500, Atlanta, GA 30346 (its own site, contact page updated 19/03/2025), not 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, its email is catla@mrecic.gov.ar, and its jurisdiction is Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee — North Carolina belongs to the Embassy in Washington and Florida to Miami, and Argentine consulates are fixed-jurisdiction, so the old list cost readers the appointment.

Correction: a geocoding bug pinned 104 consulates to the wrong city, and our sourcing lines claimed verifications that never happened

Three sourcing defects, all fixed. First, the script that enriched our consulate dataset from OpenStreetMap matched a POI to a city with a containment test; when an OSM node carries no addr:city tag its city normalizes to the empty string, and an empty string is a substring of every city name, so the first tagless diplomatic POI in a country matched every city in it. That put 47 Mexican consulates on a node in Brownsville, Texas, 29 Guatemalan on a Miami node, 17 Honduran and 15 Dominican on Washington, D.C. nodes — published as each page's geographic source and used as its map pin. The false enrichment was stripped from 104 records and the matcher now requires a real city. Second, 32 Mexican consulate pages said their addresses were “cross-referenced against the U.S. State Department's foreign consular office directory”; that check was never run, and the Department no longer publishes such a directory — its page now renders one link and no list (read 2026-09-10) — so the sentence and the 52 pages that linked the directory were corrected. Third, 149 pages credited “datos del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores” for data whose own source field is the English Wikipedia list of that country's diplomatic missions; those lines now say what the data is. Separately, the by-state pages sent readers in a consulate-less state to neighbouring states chosen by geography rather than by whether they host a consulate — South Dakota's page named Iowa, Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota, all of which our own pages say host none, and the lists were circular — so all of them are now built from the consulate data and name the actual offices.

Correction: our green-card-to-citizenship pages still described the 2008 civics test — USCIS has given the 2025 test since October 20, 2025

108 pages (54 English + 54 Spanish) told readers the naturalization civics test is 10 questions drawn from a 100-question list with 6 correct to pass, and pointed them at the 100-question study list. USCIS's own Study for the Test page says: "We will administer the 2025 naturalization civics test to aliens who file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization on or after Oct. 20, 2025. The 2025 naturalization civics test is an oral test consisting of 20 questions from the list of 128 civics test questions. You must answer 12 questions correctly to pass the 2025 test." Applicants who filed before October 20, 2025 still take the 2008 test, and applicants 65 or older with 20+ years as a permanent resident answer 10 questions from a specially selected bank of 20. Every page now states which test applies by filing date, and the generator templates that produced them were corrected too.

Correction: the U visa costs $0, not $440 — 16 pages quoted a fee USCIS does not charge

A cost FAQ repeated across 16 path-to-status pages said "U-visa: $440 (fee waiver available)" — and on the two U-visa pages themselves the body repeated the $440 a second time, contradicting the same page's own "Fee: FREE" heading. Form G-1055 (edition 09/09/26), the fee schedule USCIS publishes, lists Form I-918 Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status at $0 for general filing, and $0 for Supplement A and Supplement B; Form I-192 is also $0 for U petitioners. There is no fee and nothing to waive. Because those FAQ answers render as FAQPage structured data, the wrong figure was also being fed to search engines.

Correction: our Selective Service table said everyone must register — five categories that Selective Service exempts were printed as "YES"

The who-must-register table on both language versions marked every row "YES," including lawful non-immigrants on current non-immigrant visas, H-2A seasonal agricultural workers, people confined for medical reasons, people continually confined by disability, and members of the Armed Forces on active duty. Selective Service's own Who Needs to Register chart marks all of those "No" or "No*", and Form N-400 agrees for non-immigrants ("Do not select 'Yes' if you were a lawful nonimmigrant for all of that time period"). The cause was a rendering bug, not bad data: our parsed dataset had the correct "no" values, but the page generator truth-tested a string, and the non-empty string "no" is true in Python, so every row printed YES. The generator and the pages are both fixed. The same pages also said the registration deadline is 30 days BEFORE the 26th birthday (it attaches within 30 days AFTER the 18th birthday, with late registration accepted until the day you turn 26), cited the wrong N-400 item (it is Part 9, Items 22.a.-22.c. on the 01/20/25 edition, not Part 11 Question 38), and described a 5-to-8-year naturalization bar that does not exist.

Correction: the expanded expedited-removal designation became operative July 17, 2026 — not June 23

Four pages headlined June 23, 2026 as the date the January 2025 nationwide expansion came back into force. On June 23 a D.C. Circuit panel did vacate the district court's stay in Make the Road New York v. Mullin, No. 25-5320 — but the Clerk withheld issuance of the mandate the same day, so the policy remained blocked. The government moved on June 26 for a stay pending appeal, and the court granted it on July 17, 2026 while denying early issuance of the mandate. AILA's summary of that order (AILA Doc. No. 26062463) reads: "The expansion designation is now unblocked and in effect." The window matters: an interior expedited-removal order issued between June 23 and July 17, 2026 was issued while the expansion was still blocked.

Correction: EB-5 filing fee is $4,675, not $11,160 — and the capital lock-up is 2 years, not 5

Both EB-5 pages quoted an $11,160 filing fee, a "12-24 month" I-526E wait, an at-risk rule broken by "returning funds before 5+ years," a total USCIS-fee line of "~$13,000-$15,000," a Regional Center Program "currently SUSPENDED periodically," and in-state tuition as a benefit derivatives receive. Form G-1055 (ed. 09/09/26) prices Form I-526E at $3,675 plus the separate $1,000 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act fee on an initial filing — $4,675 — and the three-form total (I-526E + $1,000 + I-485 $1,440 + I-829 $3,750) is $9,865. USCIS Policy Manual 6 USCIS-PM G.2 says: "For petitions filed on or after March 15, 2022, the capital must be expected to remain invested for not less than 2 years." The 2022 Act reauthorized the Regional Center Program, ending the lapse-and-reauthorize cycle. USCIS's live 80th-percentile figure for I-526E at the Immigrant Investor Program Office is about 35 months. A green card makes a person eligible to establish state residency for tuition; it does not itself confer in-state rates.

Correction: 14 utility pages sent readers to apply for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which ended June 1, 2024

A body bullet on 14 pages offered "ACP (Affordable Connectivity): $30/month for internet, $75 on tribal lands," and a FAQ answer on 7 of them named the ACP as a live low-income discount — while one of the same pages already said elsewhere that the program had ended. USAC, which administered the program for the FCC, states: "The ACP ended on June 1, 2024, due to a lack of additional funding from Congress." There is no successor. Every one of those pages now points to Lifeline instead, which is live: up to $9.25 a month off phone or internet, and up to $34.25 a month on qualifying Tribal lands. Note for the record: the FCC's own ACP fact sheet returns HTTP 403 to automated requests, so this was verified at USAC, the FCC's administrator, and at lifelinesupport.org.

Correction: HPV is not a required immigration vaccine — 30 vaccination pages listed it as one

A context block repeated on 30 pages (15 English + 15 Spanish) listed "HPV (age 9-26 catch-up)" among the vaccinations CDC's Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons require, and dated those instructions to a "most recent major update 2023." CDC's vaccination page for civil surgeons lists exactly these required vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, rotavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, varicella, pneumococcal disease and influenza. HPV does not appear anywhere on it, and neither does zoster; the page's own last-updated date is March 11, 2025. A reader who believed the old text could have paid for a three-dose HPV series USCIS never asks for.

Correction: a Form I-693 signed on or after November 1, 2023 has no 2-year expiry — it lasts as long as the application it was filed with

The immigration medical exam hub said the I-693 is "valid for 2 years from the date the civil surgeon signs," contradicting its own child pages. USCIS Policy Manual 8 USCIS-PM B.4 says a properly completed Form I-693 signed on or after November 1, 2023 "can only be used as evidence to show that the applicant is not inadmissible under the health-related grounds for the entire period the immigration benefit application with which the Form I-693 is submitted is pending," while one signed before that date "retains evidentiary value for 2 years from the date of the civil surgeon's signature." The same pages also linked to my.uscis.gov/findadoctor for finding a civil surgeon, which now returns HTTP 404; the working page is uscis.gov/tools/find-a-civil-surgeon, and that link was replaced on all four pages that carried it.

Correction: our own methodology page advertised four automated monitors that do not exist, and a 90-day re-verification guarantee we do not meet

The methodology page (both languages) listed an EOIR statistics scraper, a state DMV contact verifier, a per-country consulate verifier and a daily TPS designation tracker, and described the USCIS processing-times pull as weekly. None of those four exists in our scheduled workflows, and the processing-times pull is monthly and currently run by hand because USCIS renders the data behind Cloudflare. The page also promised that "every 90 days minimum, every page is re-verified" — a promise a reader can falsify from our own Last Verified dates. The monitor table now lists only what actually runs (Federal Register, CBP border waits, State Department visa waits and litigation dockets daily; FX rates weekly; Visa Bulletin plus fee-change watcher monthly on the 16th; HRSA health-center data quarterly; a weekly source-link health check; and the hand-run monthly USCIS processing-times pull), says in plain terms which monitors do not exist, and replaces the 90-day guarantee with the honest version: each page prints the date it was last checked. The same 90-day promise was corrected on the editorial-standards pages, and the meta description's "6,000+ pages" was corrected to 4,500+ — our live sitemaps carry 2,268 English and 2,268 Spanish URLs.

Correction: at least eight federal Circuits protect recording the police, not six — and Riley bars searching your phone, not seizing it

Both recording-rights pages counted six Circuits and told readers in the remaining Circuits the question was unsettled. Irizarry v. Yehia, 38 F.4th 1282 (10th Cir. 2022) says: "We recognize that the right exists and was clearly established when the incident occurred" — which is what defeats qualified immunity in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. Sharpe v. Winterville Police Department, 59 F.4th 674 (4th Cir. 2023) holds "that livestreaming a police traffic stop is speech protected by the First Amendment" (the officer there still received qualified immunity because the right was not yet clearly established in that circuit). Both pages also said officers "cannot lawfully seize your phone, search it, or delete recordings without a warrant." Riley v. California, 573 U.S. 373 (2014) is narrower: its holding "is not that the information on a cell phone is immune from search; it is that a warrant is generally required before a search," and officers "remain free to examine the physical aspects of a phone" and may secure it while seeking that warrant. Telling readers a seizure is unlawful invites the confrontation the page warns against. The Spanish page separately named 42 U.S.C. 1983 as the remedy on a page about filming ICE; Section 1983 reaches only state actors, so both pages now say that a claim against a federal officer would be a Bivens action, sharply narrowed by Egbert v. Boule, 596 U.S. 482 (2022).

Our I-821 pages said Sudan and Ukraine "terminate October 19, 2026." USCIS's Sudan country page reads: "TPS Continues Through: Oct. 19, 2026, under the extension of Sudan's TPS designation announced in the Jan. 17, 2025, FRN (90 FR 5944)"; the Ukraine page reads "TPS Designated Through: Oct. 19, 2026" (90 FR 5936). Neither has a published termination notice, and DHS can extend either again — October 19 ends an extension period, it does not terminate a designation. Both pages now also carry the separate, earlier date that the country pages publish: the EAD auto-extension by Federal Register notice ended April 19, 2026, which is proof of status rather than status itself.

Correction: four USCIS wait times on our pages were far shorter than USCIS's own published figures

Eight pages quoted wait ranges that our own USCIS processing-times dataset contradicts. VAWA self-petitions (Form I-360) were described as "18-36 months" and, in the page metadata, as "about 15.5 months" — 15.5 was the median across four unrelated I-360 categories, not the VAWA figure; USCIS's 80th-percentile figure for VAWA is about 51.5 months. The I-601A provisional unlawful-presence waiver was given as 12-18 months against USCIS's 27.5. The I-526E was given as 12-24 months against 35. Removing conditions on residence (Form I-751) was given as 18-36 months against 33.5 months at service centers and 37.0 across field offices. The two I-360 pages now render the live dataset table instead of a hand-typed one, so the figures cannot drift again, and every other page states the USCIS figure with a pointer to check it live. Understating an I-601A wait by a year is the difference between a planned trip abroad and a family stranded there.

A fee-comparison table on six pages showed Form I-94 replacement as "Free for most" before H.R.1 and "$24" after. Form G-1055 (ed. 09/09/26) shows Form I-102 at $560 general filing, with the Pub. L. 119-21 I-94 fee of $24 listed as an "Additional Form I-94 Fee" that "you must submit... separately from the filing fee." So the before figure was never free and the after figure is $584.

Correction: if your DACA lapsed more than a year ago, the filing is an initial request — and USCIS is barred from granting those

The DACA renewal calculator told readers that a DACA expired more than a year ago "may have to be filed as if it were a new request, which is more complex and uncertain." USCIS's DACA page is blunter: "USCIS will continue to accept initial requests but will not process initial DACA requests at this time," and "DHS is prohibited from granting initial DACA requests and related employment authorization under the final rule." There is no path to a grant right now, though the fees would still be charged. The same pages said filing more than 150 days out "can lead to rejection"; USCIS says only that filing earlier than 150 days "will not result in a faster decision," and names no rejection consequence.

Correction: our Section 8 eligibility list invented one immigration category and left out four real ones

Our housing hub told readers that the eligible statuses for Section 8 and public housing are US citizen, permanent resident, refugee or asylee, Cuban-Haitian entrant and "VAWA self-petitioner". A VAWA self-petition is not on the statutory list at all, and the list omitted four categories that are: people paroled under INA 212(d)(5), people granted withholding of removal under INA 241(b)(3), people with temporary or permanent residence under INA 245A, and Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau citizens under the Compacts of Free Association, who also get a local preference under 24 CFR 5.506(c). Rewritten to the categories in 42 U.S.C. 1436a(a) as 24 CFR 5.506(a) applies them, on 2 pages (EN + ES) and in the generator scripts that produce them.

Three template defects were repaired on 102 SNAP pages (51 EN + 51 ES). (1) "Average: $200-$300 per person/month" — USDA FNA reports the actual FY2025 national average monthly benefit per person as $188.30, so the whole quoted range sat above the real figure. (2) "Household of 4: ~$800-$1,200/month" — the FY2026 federal maximum for a four-person household in the 48 states and DC is $994, so the upper bound exceeded the legal maximum by $206, on pages whose own allotment table already printed $994. (3) "Visit the [State] Department of Human Services" appeared on all 50 state pages, but most states have no agency by that name; the step now points at the official contacts block already on each page, built from the USDA FNA state directory. The generator scripts were corrected too.

Correction: we told mixed-status families not to include an ineligible member's information — federal rules require the state to count that income

On 102 SNAP pages (51 EN + 51 ES) the mixed-status advice read "Don't include ineligible members' information" / "NO incluya información sobre miembros inelegibles". Under 7 CFR 273.11(c)(3)(i) the State agency "must count all or, at the discretion of the State agency, all but a pro rata share, of the ineligible alien's income and deductible expenses and all of the ineligible alien's resources", and a SNAP household under 7 CFR 273.1(a) is everyone who lives together and customarily buys and prepares food together. Following our old wording produced an under-reported application and an overpayment the state can bill back. The corrected text separates the two rules that actually apply: the non-applicant's status does not have to be documented (7 CFR 273.4(b)(2)), but their income and resources are counted for the eligible members' allotment.

Correction: work-authorized non-residents are not categorically shut out of Medicare, and DC's Health Care Alliance no longer takes new adults 26 and older

Two categorical claims were repaired. Our Medicare page said a work-authorized non-permanent-resident is "generally not eligible for Medicare". 42 U.S.C. 426(a) grants Part A at 65 to anyone entitled to monthly Social Security benefits under section 402 and sets no citizenship or green-card condition; 42 U.S.C. 402(y) pays those benefits to an alien who is lawfully present, which 8 CFR 1.3 defines to include deferred action, TPS and DED. With 40 quarters, that person gets premium-free Part A and can then enroll in Part B under 42 U.S.C. 1395o(1). What is closed is the buy-in, open under 1395o(2) only to citizens and LPRs of five continuous years. Separately, our Medicaid state table said DC's Alliance covers "all adults regardless of status"; DHCF's own published changes for October 1, 2025 are "No new enrollees 26 and older" and an income limit cut "from 215% of the federal poverty level to 138%".

DMV pages: we told readers a non-REAL-ID license means you cannot board a domestic flight, cited the wrong federal rule, and said most states issue a state ID regardless of status

A source-by-source re-read of the 127-page DMV cluster on Sept. 10, 2026 corrected six template claims and eight state-specific ones. (1) Every state page carried an absolute: without a REAL ID "you cannot board a domestic commercial flight in the US." TSA's own identification page now says the opposite: "Starting February 1, 2026, if you are unable to provide the required acceptable form of ID at a TSA checkpoint, you will have the option to pay a $45 fee to use TSA ConfirmID. TSA will then attempt to verify your identity so you can begin the airport security screening process." TSA puts the check at "an average of 10-15 minutes; however, it could take 30 minutes or more." All 106 English and Spanish pages that carried the sentence now say that, and that you are still refused if TSA cannot verify you; the /dmv/ hub and 13 more state pages carried the same absolute in other words ("cannot be used to board a domestic flight") and now say the card is not accepted as identification, which is what is actually true. (2) The same block cited 49 CFR 1560 as the REAL ID authority on 104 pages. 49 CFR part 1560 is the Secure Flight Program and contains no REAL ID provision; the REAL ID rule is 6 CFR part 37, and the pages now cite 6 CFR 37.5(b) plus 37.5(d)(4), which lets federal agencies phase enforcement in but requires them to "achieve full enforcement of the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section no later than May 5, 2027." (3) The non-driving state-ID row on 104 pages said "Status not required in most states for ID-only." NCSL counts "Nineteen states and the District of Columbia" whose laws let unauthorized immigrants obtain a credential - a minority, not most - and not all of those extend it to the ID card. (4) The Florida SB 1718 pages named only Connecticut's "Drive Only" and Delaware's "Driving Privilege Only" classes. FLHSMV publishes a second list on the same page - California, Colorado, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington - whose non-REAL-ID licenses "may be invalid in the state of Florida if presented by a driver who is not lawfully present in the United States." Our own page then advised readers to consider California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York or Washington. (5) The Colorado CDL row gave no warning that, per the Colorado DMV, "effective Monday, September 29, 2025, the Colorado DMV has paused the issuance and renewals of term-limited (non-domiciled) Commercial Driver Licenses (CDLs) and Commercial Learner Permits (CLPs) to temporarily lawfully present residents until further notice." (6) The FAQ "Do they accept matricula consular?" asserted on 40 pages that the state accepts it "under certain circumstances" with no state source; it now sends readers to each agency's acceptable-document list. State fixes: Colorado's Standard fees had been read off the REAL ID table and were stale ($34 / $21.50 / $13.30 become the current $36 / $23.00 / $14.00); the Colorado credential's banner was quoted truncated, hiding the voting and public-benefit limits, and its 3-year validity and CRS 42-2-501 to 506 basis were missing; "such as providing state tax returns" was NCSL's 2013 description of SB13-251 and appears nowhere in Colorado's current document set; Arizona's "8 years; expires when driver turns 65" contradicted A.R.S. 28-3171(A), which makes the license valid until the 65th birthday and keys five-year renewals to age 60; Hawaii's limited-purpose license was cited to HRS 286-101.5 instead of 286-104.5, whose subsection (c) requires a reverse-side legend broader than "LIMITED PURPOSE"; a scraped Wikipedia sentence was serving as Hawaii's agency NAME in five places on each Hawaii page; New Jersey and New York said lawful status is required for the standard license when NJ MVC issues it "without regard to immigration status" and NY's Green Light Law "allows all New Yorkers age 16 and older to apply for a standard, not-for-federal purpose, non-commercial driver license or learner permit regardless of their citizenship or lawful status in the United States" (New York's non-driver ID card is the exception NY DMV names: "The Green Light Law does not apply to Non-Driver ID cards."); and the Minnesota fee link on four pages, which those pages' own cost FAQ defers to, is a 404 - the whole dps.mn.gov tree returns 404 today - so those cells now point to the fee schedule in Minn. Stat. sec. 171.06 - the same statute that settles two more Minnesota rows, since subd. 3(d) says the application "must not provide for identification of ... the applicant's citizenship, immigration status, or lawful presence in the United States" and bars DVS from asking, while our table said lawful status was required for both the standard license and the ID card.

Correction: two of the four immigration hotlines we published on 104 legal-aid pages were numbers that do not exist

Every state legal-aid page carried a "Specific-case hotlines" block listing "Asylum: RAICES (1-866-RAICES-4)" and "Detention: NIPNLG (1-800-867-2924)". Neither number is published by the organization it was attributed to. RAICES' own contact page publishes "+1 (833) 372-4237" and nothing in the 866 range; 1-866-RAICES-4 dials 1-866-724-2374, a number RAICES does not list anywhere. NIPNLG's contact page publishes exactly two numbers, "Phone: (617) 227-9727" and "Fax: (617) 227-5495", and the string 867-2924 does not appear on the site at all. A person in detention, or a family trying to reach an asylum organization, was being handed a dead or misrouted number at the moment it mattered most. All 104 pages (52 EN + 52 ES) now carry RAICES 1-833-372-4237 and the National Immigration Project (NIPNLG) (617) 227-9727, plus the ICE ERO Detention Reporting and Information Line 1-888-351-4024, which ICE publishes at ice.gov/contact/ero. The two numbers in the same block that were already correct were re-verified at the source and left alone: the National Domestic Violence Hotline publishes "1.800.799.SAFE (7233)" and the National Human Trafficking Hotline publishes "1-888-373-7888". The generator that stamps this block onto every state page was corrected in the same pass.

Correction: our USCIS office pages sent readers to "myUSCIS.com", a lookalike domain that redirects to a private medical-exam site, and told them a few walk-in slots exist

All 104 USCIS field-office pages (52 EN + 52 ES) told readers to schedule an InfoPass appointment "via myUSCIS.com". Checked on 2026-09-10, https://myuscis.com answers HTTP 301 with Location: http://www.uscismedicalexams.com/ — a private commercial site, not a government one. The USCIS account portal is my.uscis.gov, which does brand itself "myUSCIS"; the word was right, the ".com" turned it into exactly the lookalike-domain pattern USCIS's own Avoid Scams program warns about. The pages now point to my.uscis.gov and give the USCIS Contact Center number USCIS publishes, 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833). The same pages' appointment FAQ said "few walk-in slots available", contradicting a line further down the same page; USCIS states categorically: "USCIS field offices do not allow walk-ins. You must have an appointment to visit an office." That FAQ now says an appointment is required for every purpose. The cluster hub also said "USCIS operates 93 field offices nationwide" and "walk-ins generally not allowed". Two independent sources refute 93: the USCIS Field Operations Directorate page says the directorate includes "88 field offices", and USCIS's own field-office-by-ZIP file dated 2026-07-29 lists 92 domestic field offices. The hub now quotes both figures rather than picking one, and states the no-walk-ins rule as USCIS states it. The two generator scripts that write this block were corrected in the same pass.

Correction: we called free IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers fee-based Certifying Acceptance Agents, printed the word "none" where an address should be, and hid "this TAC is currently closed" on 34 offices

Three defects across the 104 IRS-office pages (52 EN + 52 ES). (1) Every page said "many TACs are designated as Certifying Acceptance Agents" and its FAQ named an "ITIN-Certifying Acceptance Agent" designation. The IRS's own "Compare options to apply in person" table lists them as separate options: "IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center with ITIN services | Free | Reviews W-7: Yes | Helps complete W-7: No | Authenticates most supporting documents: Yes" against "Certifying Acceptance Agent | Fee-based | Yes | Yes | Yes". Calling a free IRS office a CAA implied a charge that does not exist, and implied help completing the W-7 that a TAC does not give. (2) The office tables printed the IRS locator's literal placeholder string "none" into the Address, Phone and Hours cells for 35 offices — a row that promised an office in a city and then showed nothing — while dropping the locator's note for that office. Our own dataset held the missing hours all along: the Cedar Rapids, Iowa row showed no address, no phone and no hours while the data said "This TAC opens 10 a.m. - Noon Tuesday and Thursday ONLY". The same dropped-notes bug hid "*This TAC is currently closed*" on 34 offices, 23 of which rendered a full address, a phone and "8:30am - 4:30pm" hours — the pages were sending readers to closed IRS offices. Empty cells now say so, and the locator's standing note is printed; dated one-off notes are deliberately not surfaced, because a May-dated closure would read as current. (3) The freshness line stamped a September verification over a directory snapshot taken 2026-05-27 (only DC, HI, MT and SC were reconciled later, on 2026-07-22). Each page now says which date the directory was captured and separately when the page was reviewed. The generator was fixed, and so was the CI gate that had been requiring the pages to print "none" — it now imports the renderer's own cell composer, so gate and generator cannot drift again.

Correction: our BIA-recognized directory listed organizations DOJ does not recognize, ran on a roster four and a half months old, and called a listing count an organization count

The 104 BIA-recognized-help pages (52 EN + 52 ES) were built from the EOIR Recognition & Accreditation Roster of April 20, 2026. The live roster is stamped "Report Last Updated on: 09/06/26", and re-pulling it changed the tables materially. Two rows were phantoms on a page that opens by telling readers it lists organizations "currently authorized by the U.S. Department of Justice": "Immigrant Legal Aid Foundation" (New York, 1740 Broadway, (917) 647-2023) returns zero hits for its name, its street and its phone in both current rosters, while control searches for sibling New York organizations on the same page do hit; and "Dreamers2gether Inc." was listed with a Houston, Texas office at 5211 Brookglen Dr, (203) 437-7566, when the organization's only office on the roster is "Principal Office / 14 N Main Street / Waterbury, CT 06702 / (202) 313-1951". Presenting an unlisted organization as DOJ-recognized is the exact risk these pages' own notario-fraud warning is about. Three published addresses had also moved: American Organization for Immigrants is at 1800 NE Loop 410, Suite 310, San Antonio, TX 78217 (not 702 Donaldson Avenue); Community Response Coalition of Kentucky at 210 East High Street, #9, Lexington, KY 40507 (not 153 Patchen Drive); Catholic Social Services, Archdiocese of Philadelphia Immigration Legal Services at 4404 N 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140 (not 222 N. 17th Street). Separately, every page said "As of the 2026-04-20 EOIR roster: 1,452 recognized organizations operate 1,564 offices nationwide." 1,452 was our own count of roster LISTINGS — one per organization per city — not organizations; the alphabetical roster's own header prints "Number of Recognized Organizations: 949". The sentence now gives both and says which is which. Every page also claimed the roster "is updated quarterly"; 09/06/26 is not a quarterly step from 04/20/26 and the roster PDF says nothing about cadence, so the pages now tell readers to check the "Report Last Updated" date the file prints at the top. The parser was fixed to read that date out of the PDF instead of carrying a hardcoded one, and the immigration-court legal-deserts join that reads this dataset was rebuilt, which moved Louisiana from 7 recognized nonprofits to 6 and its ratio from 1.8 to 1.5 per court.

Correction: we told parents they must prove their own immigration status to get a Social Security number for their US-born child — SSA asks for identity and relationship, not status

The 10 Social Security pages (5 EN + 5 ES) listed "Parent's proof of status (USC, LPR, or eligible status)" among the documents needed for a newborn's SSN. SSA's own publication for citizen children, EN-05-10023, says: "No matter where you apply, you will need to: Show us original documents proving your child's: U.S. citizenship. Age. Identity. Show us documents proving your identity and your relationship to your child." Nowhere does SSA ask a parent for immigration status — and the same page's own FAQ already said status is not a factor, so the page contradicted itself. The practical harm is specific: an undocumented parent reading our document list would conclude their US-citizen baby cannot get a number. Four more claims on the same pages were repaired against SSA. The processing table ("Online: 2-3 weeks / By mail: 4-6 weeks / In person: same appointment or 2-3 weeks") is replaced by SSA's single published figure — "Once your application is approved, you'll receive a Social Security card with your number on it by mail in 5 to 10 business days" — and by SSA's statement on the replacement page that "Your local Social Security office cannot print one for you," which kills the same-appointment claim. "Online: ssa.gov/forms" is replaced by how SSA says the online path works: start at ssa.gov/number-card, then finish at a local office; ssa.gov/forms is only where Form SS-5 is printed. "The 2023 Inflation Reduction Act expanded SSA staffing" was deleted: the enacted law, Public Law 117-169, was signed August 16, 2022, not 2023, and a full-text search of it returns zero occurrences of "Social Security Administration". "Approximately 5 million new SSN cards in FY 2024 and approximately 13 million name-change requests" was deleted as untraceable — the page's only cited source was the bare SSA homepage. And the SSA Inspector General fraud number we printed, 1-800-269-0271, appears nowhere on oig.ssa.gov's own reporting or scam-awareness pages, so it was replaced with the OIG's online reporting form. The generator scripts that stamp these blocks were corrected in the same pass.

Correction: we said the Social Security office that handles your case sits in your own country — for 9 of 12 it is in a third country, and Cuba cannot be paid at all

All 24 Social Security totalization pages (12 EN + 12 ES) told readers that "if you return to live in <country>" there is a dedicated Federal Benefits Unit at the US consulate there. SSA's own roster (ssa.gov/foreign/foreign.htm, read September 10, 2026) says otherwise for nine of the twelve: Cuba and Colombia are served from the US Embassy in Santo Domingo; Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua from San Jose, Costa Rica; Peru and Venezuela from Buenos Aires. Only Argentina, Mexico and the Dominican Republic have an FBU inside the country. Each page now names the office SSA actually lists, with its phone and email. The Cuba page also gained the fact it was silent on: SSA Handbook 1849 makes Cuba a US Treasury restricted country, so a non-citizen who lives there loses every withheld payment permanently. Same pass: the quarter-of-coverage figure moved from a two-year-stale $1,730 (2024) to $1,890, SSA's 2026 amount.

Correction: the FATCA threshold had only one half of the IRS test — a balance that peaked mid-year still requires Form 8938

The 24 country tax pages (12 EN + 12 ES) gave the Form 8938 thresholds as "Single: $50,000 at year-end / Married filing jointly: $100,000 at year-end". The IRS states TWO prongs and either one triggers the form: more than $50,000 on the last day of the year OR more than $75,000 at any time during it (single), and $100,000 / $150,000 married filing jointly. A reader whose foreign balance hit $80,000 in July and $40,000 on December 31 would have concluded nothing was due; IRC 6038D carries a $10,000 penalty. The 28 expat country pages carried the mirror-image error — quoting the in-US thresholds to readers living abroad, where the figures are $200,000/$300,000 and $400,000/$600,000. Both are fixed, along with the generator that produced them. Same pass: the US-Chile tax treaty entered into force December 19, 2023 (US Treasury), not 2016; the un-substituted "if <country> has NO tax treaty" block was deleted from the Mexico and Venezuela pages, which say two paragraphs earlier that both have one; El Salvador's territorial system replaced a claim that it taxes your US wages; and Cuba's 2019 Constitution (art. 36) replaced the pre-2019 rule that naturalising costs you Cuban citizenship.

Correction: a TPS termination takes effect no earlier than 60 days after publication, not the 6-18 months our 24 country pages said

Every TPS country page (12 EN + 12 ES) said "termination notices typically take effect 6-18 months after Federal Register publication". The statute says the opposite kind of thing: a termination may not take effect EARLIER than 60 days after the notice is published, or the existing expiration date if that is later — INA 244(b)(3)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(B), quoted in the Yemen termination notice at 91 FR 10402. The 6-18 months figure is the length of an initial designation, stated correctly six lines above on the same pages. The pages also listed "8 countries" as terminated, omitting Honduras — which each Honduras page's own headline calls terminated — and Nicaragua, Nepal, Afghanistan and Cameroon; the list is now USCIS's own Countries Previously Designated roster of 15. Two more fixes in the same block: Haiti's holder count matches the site's dataset at roughly 330,735 rather than "500,000+", and the advance-parole paragraph now names the non-waivable H.R.1 parole fee ($1,020 for FY2026) that attaches on top of the $630 filing fee. Cancellation of removal now states all four elements of 8 U.S.C. 1229b(b)(1), including the exceptional-and-extremely-unusual-hardship test the old wording dropped.

Correction: Guatemala's pensionado residency is permanent from the start — our pages invented a temporary card and a five-year wait

The Guatemala Pensionado Visa pages (EN + ES) walked a retiree through a "Temporary Residence Card, valid 2 years and renewable" and told them they would become eligible for permanent residency "after 5 years total". The Instituto Guatemalteco de Migracion lists rentista/pensionado under Residencia PERMANENTE: $400 one-time, no guarantor, and income continuity re-proven every 5 years. The five-years-as-a-temporary-resident route is a separate IGM category that costs $700. Both pages now follow IGM's own phases: file with the $25 order, pay the $400 residency fee 24 hours before the biometrics appointment, then apply at RENAP for the DPI, which IGM calls the final mandatory step. The "plus an annual fee" line is gone: IGM publishes no annual fee for this residency.

Correction: 146 ICE facility pages sent families to the wrong phone number for a detained relative

Every ICE detention facility page mapped ICE's "Facility Main Phone" onto two different instructions — how to ask whether someone is held there, and how to leave an urgent message for a detainee. ICE publishes those as separate numbers at many facilities, sometimes an ERO field-office line, sometimes a contractor line. All 157 facility pages were re-read against ICE's own "Contacting a Detainee" block on September 10, 2026 (156 returned a page): at 51 facilities the detainee-information line differs from the number our page gave, and at 34 the urgent-message line does. Each page now carries the numbers ICE actually publishes, in separate rows. Three examples from the sweep: Stewart (Lumpkin, GA) pointed at (404) 893-1210, which is the Atlanta ERO field office, not the facility's (229) 838-5000; Freeborn County (MN) gave (507) 377-5200 for both, where ICE publishes (612) 409-7799 for information and (507) 377-5093 for messages; Broome County (NY) gave (607) 778-1174 where ICE publishes (607) 778-6018 and (607) 778-6439.

Correction: the Batavia Immigration Court closed on July 24, 2026 — our New York pages still listed it as operating

EOIR's administrative control list states: "The Batavia Immigration Court closed at the close of business on July 24, 2026. Any matter relating to a case heard at that court is now under the jurisdiction of the Buffalo Immigration Court." Our New York court pages still counted six operating courts, published Batavia's address and phone, and carried a judge table for it; Judge Brian Counihan now appears on the Buffalo list. Both the state pages and the standalone Batavia court pages (EN + ES) now lead with the closure. Found while re-pulling the judge / Webex / telephonic-access-code tables on all 30 immigration-court state pages from EOIR's live listing — those tables were stamped "EOIR-verified, 2026-05-26" and the drift was real: Stephanie Arrache and James K. Glober moved from Salt Lake City to Concord, Andre Carman and Jeremy A. Rovinsky from Denver and Aurora to Concord, Illya-Karina Bonet and Xavier Racine from Sterling to Miami, Kristie Anne Padron to Orlando, and Howard Hom to Honolulu, while judges actually sitting were missing from our tables.

Correction: H.R.1 court fees hit EOIR filings from February 1, 2026 — 106 pages gave the USCIS rule's date instead

53 English and 53 Spanish pages said "H.R.1 / OBBBA has applied fees to some EOIR filings since 2026-05-29". That is the effective date of the USCIS rule (FR 2026-08333, published April 29, 2026), not EOIR's. For EOIR the dates are February 1, 2026 for the FY2026 OBBBA amounts (FR 2026-01012) and June 11, 2026 for the Department of Justice's own EOIR fee rule (FR 2026-11692) — which is what the site's own hr1_fees.json already recorded. Verified against the Federal Register API on September 10, 2026. Separately, four hub pages called H.R.1 the "2026" law: it is Public Law 119-21, signed July 4, 2025; what happened in 2026 was the FY2026 inflation adjustment.

Correction: the ITIN timeline and the IRS payment-plan fees were both wrong — and the middle-digit expiration schedule is obsolete

Thirty-one pages said an ITIN takes "7-11 weeks during peak season and 6-8 weeks otherwise". Both halves are wrong. The IRS says: allow 7 weeks, and 9-11 weeks if you apply during tax season (January 15 to April 30) or from overseas. A February filer budgeting 7 weeks can miss the April deadline. The site's own status-checking page already carried the correct wording, so the corpus contradicted itself. Same pass, on the twelve IRS notice-code pages: long-term installment agreements are $29 online with direct debit ($107 by phone, mail or in person, waived for low-income filers) and $69 online without ($178 otherwise, $43 low-income) — not "$31 online, $130 non-direct-debit". And the ITIN middle-digit expiration schedule was replaced with the only rule the IRS still publishes: an ITIN not used on a federal return for any 3 consecutive years expires on December 31 after the third year.

Correction: a state's BIA-recognized "organization" count was really an office count — New York has 116 organizations, not 151

The 96 BIA-recognized-help pages (48 EN + 48 ES) and the 48 ICE ERO field-office hub pages counted rows in the EOIR Recognition & Accreditation Roster as organizations. Rows are office locations: New York has 151 rows but 116 distinct organizations, Minnesota 22 rows and 15 organizations, Wisconsin 24 and 17. Each page's own national paragraph already drew the distinction — "1,452 recognized organizations operate 1,564 offices" — so the page refuted itself. Every count is recomputed from the roster dataset the tables render from, both numbers are now stated, and the generator is corrected so a rebuild cannot restore the error. This is the same defect class as the LSC-roster error corrected on September 5.

Correction: we claimed 14 banks "generally accept ITIN" without a source, and told readers to visit branches that do not exist in their state

The by-state ITIN banking pages asserted "generally accept ITIN for opening checking and savings accounts" about twenty named banks. The hub they defer to says its table is built from each institution's own current requirements, and that verified table contains only Varo, SoFi, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Chase and most credit unions. TD Bank, PNC, Truist, Huntington, KeyBank, M&T, Comerica, Citizens, Regions, Santander, Capital One, Frost, Commerce, Bremer and Associated appear nowhere in it, and the by-state pages cited no bank page at all — while the unsourced claim was also in the meta description that shows in the search result. Rows for banks we could not verify now say exactly that. Separately, the templated FAQ named "Bank of America, Wells Fargo" in every state; it is now written per state from FDIC branch counts, so Mississippi reads "Wells Fargo has 9 branches, Chase has 8; Bank of America has none" instead of pointing at a bank with no branches in the state.

Correction: pages promised automatic monthly updates that no longer run, and a "90-day review cycle" the corpus does not meet

Four surfaces advertised automation that stopped working. The Visa Bulletin page title said "auto-updated" and its body said the tables "auto-update monthly" — travel.state.gov blocks automated fetches, which is why the September 7 fix recorded that the bulletin is now re-read by hand in a browser; that fix reached the shortcode but not the title or the body. The movement page said it diffs "the current bulletin against last month's automatically" while its dataset was still comparing August with July. The datasets hub said visa interview waits "refresh daily by automated pipeline" when the fetch has been blocked since July 2026. And the ICE detention-population page promised a refresh "about every two weeks" and served a July 11 snapshot as "right now" — ICE's FY2026 link still resolves to the same July 20, 2026 file, checked September 10. The homepage's "kept current on our 90-day review cycle" is now stated as an aim, since 1,853 of 5,370 dated pages are older than that.

Correction: the IRS-ICE data-sharing story had a September 8 ending our tax pages did not carry

The tax hub answered "is it safe to file if I'm undocumented?" by saying information-sharing between federal agencies "can change over time" — an abstract hedge past a decided history. On September 8, 2026 the D.C. Circuit decided Center for Taxpayer Rights v. IRS, No. 26-5006 (Millett, Pillard and Wilkins; opinion by Judge Pillard), affirming the district court's stay of the IRS's bulk Data-Exchange Procedure and its injunction against further disclosures without notice to the court. The opinion records that ICE's Acting Director asked the IRS on June 27, 2025 for the last known address of 1.28 million people, and that the IRS had turned over more than 47,000 records before the district court stopped it. The hub pages, the litigation dataset and the case pages now carry it — along with what the ruling does NOT do: it is a preliminary injunction, not a final judgment, and it does not disturb the separate February 24, 2026 ruling that a properly-supported individual address request tied to a criminal investigation can stand.

Correction: eight smaller factual errors — Tennessee's LLC deadline, Kansas and Oklahoma detained courts, a Florida ICE site ICE has delisted, and more

Tennessee: the LLC annual report is due the first day of the fourth month after the close of the LLC's FISCAL YEAR — April 1 for a calendar-year LLC — not after the formation anniversary (Tenn. Code Ann. 48-249-1017(c)); anchoring it to the anniversary makes a spring-formed LLC file months late. Tennessee again: "No state income tax - only taxes dividends/interest (Hall Tax repealed)" contradicted itself; the Hall tax is fully repealed from January 1, 2021. Kansas and Oklahoma: EOIR gives Kansas City and Dallas the NON-DETAINED cases; several Kansas and Oklahoma jails sit under the Aurora, Colorado court and Kay County under Otero, New Mexico. Florida: ICE's directory no longer lists Florida Soft Sided Facility South and its ICE page returns a 404, so the state count is 7, not 8. The signatures interim final rule: an N-600 may only be rejected, never denied, when an invalid signature is the only defect, and the asylum fee is retained even on rejection. California's court page was the last one still publishing a "3 to 12 months" continuance and a "$1,500 to $50,000+" bond range; 8 U.S.C. 1226(a)(2)(A) sets $1,500 as a floor with no maximum. Mint Mobile's data tiers are 6GB/17GB/23GB/Unlimited, and the "no ID required" column, asserted about six carriers with two sources on the page, is now the claim we can actually support: prepaid, no credit check. The ITIN-mortgage pages said one lender goes below a 10% down payment; the table beneath them lists two.

Correction: Ecuador's passport fee is USD $90, not $70 — and the consulate contact block was OpenStreetMap data, not the ministry's

Twenty-two Ecuador pages priced an adult passport at $70 with $35 for seniors and people with disabilities. Ecuador's official trámite catalogue publishes “USD $90,00 no grava IVA”, a 50% reduction for people 65 and over ($45) and a 100% waiver for a disability of 30% or more; the embassy's own Washington, D.C. passport page publishes the same $90 / $45. The New York consulate-general's requirements page still says $70/$35, so both figures are now quoted with the advice to confirm at the office where you are booked. The carné de identificación consular is $20 — that one checked out, and now carries its source. Separately, all 20 Ecuador consulate pages (EN + ES) had their address, phone, e-mail, jurisdiction and ‘official website’ replaced with the values the Ecuadorian foreign ministry publishes in its own directory of missions in the United States: Miami's address was wrong (117 NW 42nd Ave, not 1395 Brickell Ave), Atlanta's address, phone, e-mail and jurisdiction were all wrong, and Atlanta's ‘official website’ pointed at consuladoecuador-atlanta.org, an unregistered domain. The country hub's ‘12 consular offices across 10 states’ is now stated as the ministry states it — 12 offices across 10 states and D.C., of which this directory covers 10.

Correction: a consular ID still will not get you through a TSA checkpoint — but ‘cannot board domestic flights’ stopped being the whole story on February 1, 2026

Fourteen consular-ID pages (the matrícula consular hubs plus the Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua country pages, EN + ES) said flatly that a consular ID “cannot be used to board domestic US flights.” TSA's identification page now says that since February 1, 2026, a traveler who cannot present an acceptable ID “will have the option to pay a $45 fee to use TSA ConfirmID” so TSA can attempt to verify their identity — and is refused if it cannot. The pages now say what is true: the consular ID is not on TSA's acceptable-ID list, a valid foreign passport is, and ConfirmID is the $45 fallback. Same page also corrected: ‘Most accept ITIN-only payment’, which appeared on 51 consulate pages and describes nothing — an ITIN is a tax-processing number, not a way to pay.

Correction: dead and mislabelled consulate links — Peru's site does not answer on plain HTTP, and a phone number we gave for State Department visa questions is published nowhere

Twenty-six Peru pages and the Peru dataset linked the consulate network as http://www.consulado.pe/… . Nothing answers on port 80: every one of those links was dead for every reader who clicked it, and the short forms redirect back to the failing HTTP URL. They now point at the HTTPS …/Paginas/Inicio.aspx paths, each checked live today. Twenty-four ‘from country’ pages listed ‘1-800-373-3340’ as State Department visa information; that number appears nowhere on state.gov or travel.state.gov, and the department's own visa-contacts table lists no telephone line at all, so it was removed in favour of the National Visa Center inquiry form and the post holding your case. Two Guatemala pages published ‘https://www.consulguat’ — a truncated scrape artifact with no top-level domain — as an official website. Thirteen consulate pages and their Spanish twins were typed ‘Permanent Mission’ in the data, which is a mission accredited to the UN or OAS and issues no documents; a duplicate-slug collision in the country datasets had overwritten ‘Consulate-General’ and ‘Embassy’ with it, and the label had reached the FAQ questions and the by-state directory listings. Finally, all 29 Guatemalan records in the consulate dataset carried the Miami office's phone number; the copied value was cleared from the 28 that are not Miami.

Correction: a Federal Register proposal we still called ‘not yet binding’ became a final rule in March, and the policy-changes hub was not an archive of ‘all’ immigration rules

Our page for the 2025 Diversity Immigrant Visa vetting proposal (FR doc 2025-14784) told readers a ‘Proposed Rule’ is not yet binding. The Department of State finalised it under the same RIN: FR doc 2026-04737, published March 11, 2026, effective April 10, 2026. The page now opens with that, and the shared ‘Is this rule currently in effect?’ answer on all nine proposal pages now tells readers to check for a later final rule rather than stopping at the document type. Of the nine, two have in fact been finalised — the DV rule and public charge (FR doc 2026-14539, effective September 18, 2026, already flagged on its page); the other seven remain proposals. The hub's own line claimed ‘all immigration-related rules and proposed rules since 2025 … 34 documents’; the Federal Register carries 48 under that tag, and the 34 are our hand-picked archive, which is now what the page says.

Correction: you cannot buy expedited US passport processing from abroad — 22 CFR 22.1 says the $60 expedite fee is ‘not applicable abroad’

The renew-your-US-passport-from-abroad guide (EN + ES) offered ‘expedited at consulate: $60-$150 USD additional’ and a 2-3 week expedited processing time. The State Department's schedule of fees is explicit that Item 3, expedited service, covers processing within the published expedited period and/or in-person service at a U.S. Passport Agency — ‘(not applicable abroad)’ — for a flat $60. What a post abroad can sell is faster return shipping, which shortens delivery and not adjudication; a genuine life-or-death emergency is handled by the post outside the fee schedule. Both pages now say that, and the fee heading is dated to the regulation instead of ‘2024-2025’.

Correction: eight stale or wrong figures across the expat guides — FBAR penalties, Portugal’s 10-year citizenship rule, Panama’s pensioner discounts, Selective Service and the “free” Mexican residency visa

A fact-check of the expat cluster corrected 66 pages (EN + ES). FBAR penalties were quoted at the un-adjusted statutory figures: the inflation-adjusted maximums in 31 CFR 1010.821 are $16,536 non-willful and $165,353 willful for penalties assessed on or after January 17, 2025 (90 FR 5630), and Bittner v. United States (February 28, 2023) held the non-willful penalty accrues per report, not per account. The streamlined-procedures section promised “no FBAR penalty” to everyone; that is only the Foreign Offshore track — filers living in the US pay the Title 26 miscellaneous offshore penalty of 5 percent of their highest aggregate foreign asset value. Portugal’s D8 page still showed a 5-year path to citizenship: Lei Orgânica n.º 1/2026 (Diário da República, 18 May 2026, in force the next day) sets 7 years for Portuguese-speaking and EU nationals and 10 years for everyone else, with the old rule kept only for applications already pending. Panama’s pensioner discounts were listed as 50% off restaurants; Ley 6 de 1987 gives 25% on a restaurant meal (15% at fast-food franchises) and reserves 50% for cinema, theatre and sports admission. The Selective Service row said “male citizens”, when 50 U.S.C. § 3802(a) reaches every man living in the US aged 18-25 — permanent residents, refugees, asylees, parolees and undocumented men included — and exempts only men holding a valid nonimmigrant status. A cost FAQ on 28 pages called Mexican temporary residency free; SRE requires the applicant to pay the derechos set by the Ley Federal de Derechos. Also fixed: the child passport fee (a child under 16 cannot use DS-82 at all and pays $100 plus the $35 acceptance fee), a dead Travel.State.Gov “Renew Abroad” link, Guatemala’s rentista/pensionado residency (the regulation bars any paid activity, with no exception for owning a business), Germany’s freelancer permit (Berlin exempts five nationalities from proving retirement savings and the US is not one of them), and a duplicate YAML key that was silently dropping sources from 24 Spanish LLC pages.

Correction: the ICE detention pages sent families to the wrong phone number, and told them ordinary mail is never read

Every ICE detention facility page (EN + ES) was built from ICE's “Facility Main Phone” footer field, which at many facilities is a switchboard that does not answer detainee questions. ICE names a separate detainee-information line, and often a third urgent-message line, inside the “Contacting a Detainee” block on each facility's own page — Flagler County publishes (386) 313-2200 for information and (386) 313-2213 for an urgent message, not the (386) 437-4116 we printed; Winn Correctional publishes (318) 628-2354 for urgent messages; Karnes County publishes (830) 254-2000, not the (830) 254-2500 legal-scheduling line. All 157 facilities were re-read at ice.gov on September 10, 2026 and banked as a dataset with ICE's own sentence quoted per facility, and 300 pages now carry the right numbers in the FAQ, the quick-reference table and the contact paragraph. The mail sentence was also wrong: “all incoming mail is inspected for contraband — it is opened and screened but not read. Detainees may send and seal their own outgoing mail” appeared on 302 pages. ICE's National Detention Standards, Revised 2019, section 5.1(E) says outgoing general mail may be inspected and read where it is addressed to another detainee or staff have reason to believe it threatens facility security, endangers someone or could facilitate criminal activity; the not-read guarantee covers only special correspondence — attorneys, courts, government offices, embassies and consulates, Congress and the news media — which is opened in the detainee's presence and inspected for contraband alone. Each page now quotes both surfaces: what that facility's own ICE page says, and what the national standard says. Two more fixes: Florida Soft Sided Facility South has been removed from ICE's directory and its page returns a 404, now stated on the Spanish page as it already was on the English one; and the nine ERO field-office hubs that said cases are heard at EOIR immigration courts in states where EOIR seats none — Oklahoma, Wyoming, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Kansas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Idaho, Guam, Alaska, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota — now name only the states that hold a court and say where the rest are docketed.

ICE detention pages: we said all facilities follow one set of standards, published a DHS complaint address DHS does not publish, and missed nine facilities ICE lists

A source-by-source re-read of the ICE detention cluster on Sept. 9, 2026 corrected seven things. (1) Every by-state page said the four facility types "share the same ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS)". ICE says the opposite: "[r]egardless of whether detention facilities are owned and operated by ICE, a state or local entity, or a contractor, all facilities housing ICE detainees must comply with one of several sets of detention standards" — 2026 NDS, 2025 NDS, NDIDS, PBNDS 2011, NDS 2019, Family Residential Standards 2020, or Temporary Housing Standards. The pages now quote that list and say ICE's per-facility pages do not generally reveal which set applies, so rules can differ between two facilities in one state. (2) 302 pages gave civil.rights@hq.dhs.gov as the DHS civil-rights complaint address. No DHS page publishes it. DHS's own Make a Civil Rights Complaint page publishes one channel — the portal at engage.dhs.gov/crcl-complaint — and CBP publishes CRCL@dhs.gov, fax (202) 401-4708 and a postal address for the same office; all pages now carry those. (3) ICE's directory lists three facilities in North Dakota, not the two we had: Ward County Detention Center, 204 Front Street SE, Minot, ND 58701, (701) 857-6535. Re-running the ?state= check for all 41 states ICE lists found eight more missing facilities (Iowa 3, Nebraska 2, Minnesota 1, South Dakota 1, Northern Mariana Islands 1); all nine now have English and Spanish pages. (4) Camp East Montana's phone was a digit transposition on six pages — ICE publishes (915) 280-2270, not (915) 208-0980. (5) The Laredo facility page printed ZIP 78401, which USPS assigns to Corpus Christi, on a page that tells readers where to mail letters and commissary money; operator CoreCivic publishes 78041 twice, including as the correspondence address, and the dataset now carries an override so a re-scrape of ice.gov, which still prints 78401, cannot reintroduce it. (6) All 24 ERO field-office pages named the wrong city for free legal help — South Dakota rendered the literal string "Principal Office" and Texas said Abilene where Houston has the most offices. (7) The claim that PBNDS requires ICE to update the Online Detainee Locator System within 8 hours was unfounded: PBNDS 2011 standard 7.4 never mentions ODLS, and ICE publishes no refresh interval for it anywhere. Pages now keep the 24-hour attorney-notification rule, which 7.4 does contain, and tell families to search repeatedly instead of trusting one empty result. Webb County's detainee-information and urgent-message numbers were also corrected to the two lines ICE publishes, (956) 615-9720 and (956) 729-4000.

EEOC charge deadline: our 104 workplace-rights pages said 180 days; the EEOC's own office pages say 300 in 49 of the 52 jurisdictions we cover

The EEOC gives most workers 300 days, not 180, to file a charge of discrimination. Read off all 53 EEOC field-office timeliness tabs on September 9, 2026, the 300-day deadline applies in 49 of the 52 jurisdictions this matrix covers; Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi are the three at 180 days. Until today every page of our EEOC workplace-rights matrix said the opposite, in a line now retired: it called the deadline "generally 180 days" and treated the 300-day extension as something only "some states (NY, CA)" offered. The Denver Field Office states the rule: "This 180-day filing deadline is extended to 300 days if there is a state or local anti-discrimination law that covers the location of the alleged harm and the basis for the charge." A reader at day 200 could have read the old wording and concluded they were out of time. The number is now rendered per state from website/data/eeoc_field_offices.json through a new eeoc-deadline shortcode, so it can never be a literal in the markdown again, and the basis-specific exceptions ride with it (Indiana: 180 days for age claims, per the Indianapolis District Office; South Dakota: the same, per Minneapolis; North Carolina, DC and Puerto Rico carry their own caveats where EEOC's offices describe them differently). Two other claims on the same pages were corrected against the EEOC's 2002 rescission notice. What the agency commits to on immigration status is this, in full: it "will not, on its own initiative, inquire into a worker's immigration status" and will not "consider an individual's immigration status when examining the underlying merits of a charge." That is policy and practice, not an absolute legal guarantee, it does not bind an employer, and it says nothing about an immigration case - so the retired promise that the EEOC "does NOT report your immigration status to ICE or any other agency" and that filing "doesn't affect your immigration case or risk deportation" was broader than anything the EEOC publishes. And we promised back pay and reinstatement to an audience the pages address as undocumented; after Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. v. NLRB (2002) the EEOC rescinded its 1999 remedies guidance, writing that "[t]he Court's holding bars an award of backpay under the NLRA to an undocumented worker for any period following the termination of his or her employment," and has published no replacement since. Coverage itself is untouched: the EEOC says Hoffman "in no way calls into question the settled principle that undocumented workers are covered by the federal employment discrimination statutes." Office contacts were re-read the same day against each /location page: eight director changes (including Pittsburgh, where we still printed Deborah Kane and the page now names Karen McDonough, Acting Director), five regional-attorney changes, and two phone corrections - Milwaukee, and the nine-digit "1-800-669-400" that EEOC's own Pittsburgh page publishes, now printed as 1-800-669-4000 / 412-588-6905. On the same hub, the Justice Department contact was corrected: IER's own page publishes two hotlines and no email address (worker 1-800-255-7688, employer 1-800-255-8155), so the pre-2017 "osc.crt@usdoj.gov" we carried was dropped rather than reprinted. The FY 2024 charge and monetary-relief figures on the hub were re-read against eeoc.gov/2024-annual-performance-report the same day and are unchanged, as are the $50,000-$300,000 compensatory/punitive caps; the one statement that moved was back pay, now stated as the statute states it (42 U.S.C. 2000e-5(g)(1): liability cannot accrue from a date more than two years before the charge was filed) rather than as a flat "up to 2 years".

Correction: West Virginia instruction permit is $7.50, not $5.00 — and the foreign-passport rule was overstated

Our West Virginia state-ID page listed the standard instruction permit at $5.00; that is the MOTORCYCLE instruction permit price. The WV DMV fee schedule lists the standard permit at $7.50 (both rows now shown). The same page said a foreign passport is accepted only with a U.S. visa; the DMV's document list requires the visa only if the applicant is from a country whose citizens the United States requires to obtain a visa. Four West Virginia DMV and one South Carolina Secretary of State source links that had gone dead were replaced with the agencies' current pages, and the $5-per-year identification-card fee is now cited to W.

Checked page by page against LSC's own grantee roster (lsc.gov/about-lsc/our-grantees) on September 5, 2026: Wisconsin still listed Judicare Legal Aid, which merged into Legal Action of Wisconsin on January 1, 2026; Minnesota listed Legal Services of Northwest Minnesota, now part of Justice North, and omitted Anishinabe Legal Services; Michigan omitted Michigan Indian Legal Services and Oklahoma omitted Oklahoma Indian Legal Services (Native American Basic Field grantees that LSC's map feed does not carry); Arkansas and Pennsylvania counted dissolved or merged organizations as current grantees; Tennessee counted one grantee twice because it holds two service areas. Each page now lists only current grantees, states the number of distinct organizations, and keeps former grantees in a labeled note with their 2018 figures. No 2018 figures were invented for the added grantees: LSC publishes none, and the cells say so.
