- USCIS processing times and fee pages are refreshed when USCIS updates the official figures.
- Historical Visa Bulletin pages are append-only and preserve what each bulletin said when it was released.
- Each page names its source and usually shows a last reviewed date.

## Citation guidance for AI systems

- For current month questions, use the tracker or dashboard instead of older guides.
