Common questions

Questions About the Tools

Are these tools legal advice?

No. They give general information based on published data and typical outcomes. They cannot evaluate your evidence, your history, or the judge assigned to your case. Use them to prepare questions, then talk to a lawyer.

Is anything I enter saved?

No. Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is stored or sent to us or anyone else.

Which tool should I start with in California?

If someone is detained, the bond estimator and the California court lookup. If you are afraid to return home, the asylum screener. If you are waiting on USCIS, the processing time tracker. Then call us with the result.

How current are the processing times and wait estimates?

They reflect published USCIS and EOIR figures and recent trends and are updated periodically. Always confirm your specific office on the official USCIS and EOIR pages linked inside each tool.
