Transparency

Every important rule should lead back to an official source.

CitizenReady summarizes government guidance in plain language and keeps the original agency page one click away.

Editorial standard

How we handle high-stakes information

Primary sources first

Eligibility claims are based on USCIS, IRCC, GOV.UK, the UK Home Office and Australia's Department of Home Affairs—not competitor apps or immigration-service marketing.

Dates and versions matter

We show the review date and distinguish rules that depend on filing date, age, birth date or statutory route.

No eligibility guarantee

Self-check results are educational. Only the government can decide an application, and complex histories require individualized advice.

Question-bank audit

A retained release gate—not a one-time spot check.

228official USCIS prompts

363original source-grounded facts

80deterministic mocks

0answer-order “variations” counted as new items

Identity and structure Unique IDs and prompts, continuous official numbering, non-empty explanations and valid answer indices.

Answer integrity Distinct options and accepted answers, full-date checks, known subset checks and regression tests for corrected source-data defects.

Published format Oral U.S. numbered mocks, Canadian true-or-false coverage, UK 24-question timing, and Australia’s exact five-values gate.

Source honesty Official U.S. wording is labelled separately from independent questions; references are described as a question bank, study source or government reference.

Remaining editorial limit: this is a high-level AI, source and automated structural audit. It is not government approval, legal review, psychometric validation, or a substitute for qualified country-specific human editors and native-language reviewers.

Continuous quality workflow

Publication is a checkpoint; review continues with evidence.

Automated release gates

Every build checks IDs, prompt uniqueness, answer integrity, source links, official numbering, test rules and deterministic mock composition. The first five Canada, UK and Australia mocks must use mutually distinct questions.

Learner issue reports

Signed-in learners can flag unclear, incorrect, outdated or translation-related items beside an explanation. Reports enter a private review queue; a report does not silently change a question.

Evidence, with limits

Correctness and response time can surface unusually easy, difficult, slow or low-separation items. These are triage signals only, never a claim of representative psychometric validation.

Independent review status: a reviewer packet covering every prompt, answer, explanation and source is ready for qualified country specialists and native-language reviewers. Their decision fields remain explicitly pending until real people complete and identify their review.
