| Litigation | Court orders that vacate policy with no rulemaking at all |
| Case status | Watched receipt numbers, checked twice a day, emailed only on a change |
| Sponsor data | USCIS decisions rather than intent-to-hire filings, so denial rates are real |
| Price | Free for individuals, alerts included. Professional is $9 a month or $90 a year |
