• check_form_edition

  The edition of a form USCIS accepts today, its accepted-from and rejected-from dates. When USCIS has announced a future edition ahead of its own accepted-from date, announced_edition carries that edition and the date it takes effect; announced_edition is absent once that date arrives or when none has been announced. Free, no sign-in required. Not legal advice. Source: the form's page on uscis.gov, or a dated web.archive.org capture of that page.

• list_form_changes

  Form edition and alert changes published since a date. Free, no sign-in required. Not legal advice. Sources: uscis.gov form pages or dated web.archive.org captures of them, USCIS newsroom alerts, and Federal Register notices. The top-level source URL identifies the exact aggregate query. Alerts preserve their government URL, source, and content hash; form changes preserve their source URL (the uscis.gov form page or a dated web.archive.org capture of it) and content hash.

• get_fee

  Returns the general filing fee and effective date for a USCIS form; category-specific fees are unavailable in the current dataset. Requires sign-in at https://immigrationlayer.com/login and an active plan. Not legal advice. Sources: the USCIS fee schedule (Form G-1055) and the 2024 USCIS fee rule (89 FR 6194).

• get_processing_time

  USCIS processing-time estimate for a form (a percentile-basis figure, e.g. "80% of cases completed within N months"; unit varies by category). Requires sign-in at https://immigrationlayer.com/login and an active plan. Not legal advice. Source: the USCIS processing times tool (egov.uscis.gov).

• get_visa_bulletin

  Monthly Visa Bulletin final-action or dates-for-filing chart entry. Requires sign-in at https://immigrationlayer.com/login and an active plan. Not legal advice. Source: the Department of State Visa Bulletin (travel.state.gov).

• search_alerts

  Search USCIS and DOS alerts and notices by keyword. Requires sign-in at https://immigrationlayer.com/login and an active plan. Not legal advice. Sources: USCIS newsroom alerts and Federal Register notices. Returns at most 100 matches per page, newest first. Pass next_cursor as cursor to continue until next_cursor is null. The top-level source URL identifies the exact aggregate query, including the page cursor; each result preserves its government URL, source, and content hash.

• get_visa_bulletin_dv

  Diversity Immigrant (DV) lottery cutoff or status for a region, and any listed country-specific exception within it. Free, no sign-in required. Not legal advice. Source: the Department of State Visa Bulletin (travel.state.gov).

• get_visa_bulletin_notes

  Every current lettered advisory note published in a month's Visa Bulletin (the forward-looking text, e.g. "EB-1 India may become unavailable"). An empty list means the month was loaded and had no notes; a month not on file returns an error. Free, no sign-in required. Not legal advice.
