DEEP VISA LABS · EDITORIAL POLICY

Editorial Policy

How we source, review, and disclaim every page. Federal data first. Single byline. No sponsored placements.

Sourcing

  • Every data-driven claim cites a DOL, USCIS, travel.state.gov, or IRS document inline. Minimum three citations per page.
  • If federal sources contradict each other, we cite both and explain.
  • If only a lawyer-blog or forum source exists, we treat the topic as non-publishable until a federal source is available.

Authorship & review

  • Single byline: Marcus Liang.
  • Every page carries a "Last verified: YYYY-MM-DD" stamp synced with the ETL build that produced its numbers.
  • Lawyer-pillar pages and tax-pillar pages get a manual final pass for disclaimer language before going live.

Disclaimers

  • Site-wide footer: "Deep Visa Labs publishes data from DOL OFLC, USCIS, travel.state.gov and IRS. This is not legal advice. Consult a licensed immigration attorney for advice on your specific case."
  • Lawyer pillar (top-of-page, prominent): "We are not a law firm. Listings are for informational reference only, not endorsements. We do not provide legal advice or attorney-client relationships."
  • Tax pillar: "Not tax advice. Consult a licensed CPA or enrolled agent for advice on your specific filing."

Sponsorship & affiliates

  • No paid editorial placements. Ever.
  • No "best lawyer" or "best CPT school" rankings driven by payment.
  • Affiliate / lead-referral links may appear on a small number of pages (Sprintax, Boundless, Lawfully). Status is disclosed on the page.
  • Lawyer leads are routed only through platforms that vet attorney bar status (Lawfully, Boundless). We do not list individual attorneys as endorsements.

Corrections

See Corrections Policy. Two-day acknowledgement, five-day resolution.
