Questions
Does this course give legal advice?
No. It teaches how to use the public registers and this directory, and which questions to ask. For advice about your own case, ask a qualified professional: a licensed lawyer or a DOJ-accredited representative.
Does the certificate let me help other people with immigration cases?
No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It is not a licence, not DOJ recognition or accreditation, and not a legal qualification.
Is a listing a recommendation?
No. A listing shows facts that a public register states. It does not say that a provider is good, has space or fits your case.
