check_form_edition | Returns the edition of one USCIS form that USCIS accepts today, with its accept-from and reject-from dates. Use it to check which edition of a form USCIS accepts, with the date of that answer. If USCIS has announced a newer edition it does not accept yet, announced_edition gives that edition and its accept-from date. For edition changes across all forms since a date, use list_form_changes. Covers params: form* |
list_form_changes | Lists the form edition changes and the USCIS newsroom and Federal Register alerts ImmigrationLayer has recorded on or after a date, newest first.

To find alerts by keyword, use search_alerts. Returns at most 100 form edition change params: since*, cursor |
get_fee | Returns a published government fee and its effective date. For US (the default), the general filing fee for a USCIS form and filing method; category-specific US fees are unavailable, so omit category.

For GB, the fee for a published Home Office fee category; pass the section heading as params: country, form*, filing, category |
get_processing_time | Returns the USCIS processing-time estimate for one form, eligibility category, and office: the time within which 80% of cases were completed, in months, weeks, or days. Use it when the user asks for USCIS's published processing time for a form. It reports past completions, not how long a given case will take. Pass form, category, and office exactly as the USCIS processing times tool lists them. Ev params: form*, category, office |

For the bull params: month*, chart*, category*, country* |
search_alerts | Searches USCIS newsroom alerts and Federal Register notices by keyword, newest first. Use it to find announcements about a form or topic, e.g. "I-765" or "fee". To list everything published since a date without a keyword, use list_form_changes, which is free. Returns at most 100 matches per page. Pass next_cursor as cursor to continue until next_cursor is null. No match returns an empty list, not params: query*, since, cursor |
get_visa_bulletin_dv | Returns the Diversity Visa (DV lottery) rank cutoff for one region in a month's Visa Bulletin, or a country exception the bulletin lists within that region. Use it when a DV selectee asks whether their case number is current. For family and employment chart dates, use get_visa_bulletin. For the bulletin's advisory notes, use get_visa_bulletin_notes. A month or region not on file returns not_found. params: month*, region*, country |
get_visa_bulletin_notes | Returns every lettered advisory note in a month's Visa Bulletin: the forward-looking text, e.g. "EB-1 India may become unavailable". Use it when the user asks whether dates are expected to advance, hold, or retrogress. For the chart dates themselves, use get_visa_bulletin or get_visa_bulletin_dv. An empty list means the month was loaded and had no notes; a month not on file returns not_found. Free params: month* |
