Editorial Policy

MyCaseworks publishes legal-topic guides to help international students and immigrants understand their rights and obligations. This policy explains how we produce, review, and maintain that content.

1. Purpose and scope

Our articles explain law and procedure in plain language. They are not legal advice and do not create an attorney-client relationship. Every article includes a disclaimer to that effect. The purpose is education: to help readers know what questions to ask, what documents to gather, and what deadlines to watch.

2. Research standards

Writers base every article on primary sources: statute, regulation, government guidance, and court decisions. We cite those sources with direct links where possible. We do not rely on news articles, forums, or unverified social-media posts as primary authority. When a source is behind a paywall or available only in print, we say so.

For immigration content, primary sources include USCIS policy manuals, Federal Register notices, UKVI guidance, IRCC operational bulletins, and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. For tenancy content, sources include the Renters' Rights Act 2025, Housing Act 2004, and relevant local authority guidance.

3. Attorney review

Every article is reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted in the relevant jurisdiction before publication. The reviewer checks for legal accuracy, clarity, and completeness. The reviewer's name and bar affiliation appear on the article. If an article has not yet been attorney-reviewed, we label it "Editorial-only" and do not claim it has been vetted by counsel.

We do not publish articles that contain unresolved verification markers or placeholder text. If a fact is uncertain or likely to change, we say so explicitly and give the reader a way to check the current status (for example, linking to the official government page).

4. Update and freshness

We review articles quarterly or whenever the underlying law changes. The "Updated" date at the top of each article reflects the last review. Major legislative changes trigger an immediate review. Minor procedural changes are batched into the next quarterly cycle unless they affect a current filing deadline.

When we update an article, we note what changed in the page metadata. We do not silently rewrite articles without updating the date.

5. Independence and conflicts

MyCaseworks does not accept payment for article placement, favorable coverage, or backlink inclusion. We do not let advertisers or partner organizations influence editorial content. Affiliate links, if any, are disclosed inline and do not affect our recommendations.

Attorneys who review articles are independent contractors, not employees. They are paid for review time, not for outcomes or for steering readers toward particular services.

6. Corrections

If we discover an error, we correct it within 48 hours and note the correction at the bottom of the article. For critical errors that could mislead readers about a deadline or requirement, we will post a corrections banner at the top of the affected article and, where we have a reader's email on file from an intake or correction submission, we will notify them directly. See our corrections policy for the full process.

7. Reader feedback

Readers can suggest corrections by emailing legal@yousafeconsultancy.com with the article URL and the specific text in question. We route every suggestion to the reviewing attorney and reply within 48 hours.
