## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Immigration & Migration Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Highlight sentences that state a legal conclusion or ask an agency for a decision, and give the page. Do not rewrite them. |
| What the lawyer must review | Section 1003.102(c) disciplines a practitioner who knowingly or with reckless disregard makes a false statement of material fact or law. The signature provision in that section certifies that the signer has read the document. This is immigration-practitioner discipline. It is not an Australian offence of giving immigration assistance, and it is not applied as one. The lawyer decides who may settle the text that is filed. Formal Opinion 512 applies to the draft. |
| Written for | United States |
| Applies to | [Mark passages in a draft visa submission that would be immigration assistance under the Migration Act 1958](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law/mark-passages-in-a-draft-visa-submission-that-would-be-immigration-assis.md) |
