## Tell the reader what kind of information it is

Label official-source information, case-specific experience and suggestions distinctly. One example does not establish that the same approach applies in every situation.

## Keep references and dates together

Record the document or page title, publisher and review date. If the source changes or disappears, mark the note for review before reuse.

## When sources disagree, hold off on conclusions

State the disagreement clearly and seek confirmation from the responsible authority or source owner. Do not fill gaps with assumptions.

General working principles, not legal or immigration advice or institution-specific procedures. Verify actual requirements with the responsible authority.
