What we cannot do
We would like to help everyone, and there is one thing we genuinely cannot do: give advice about your personal situation.
Fori is a publisher, not a law firm, a tax preparer, a bank or an adviser. We cannot tell you which visa to apply for, whether you are a resident for tax purposes, whether to sign a particular lease, or what to do about a specific letter from an agency. Answering those questions without knowing your full circumstances would be irresponsible, and in some cases unlawful.
What we can do is point you at the right primary source, and explain how the process works in general — which is what the guides are for.
Where to get real help
- Immigration questions: a licensed immigration attorney, or a nonprofit accredited by the Department of Justice. Never take immigration advice from someone who is not one of those two things.
- Tax questions: a CPA or Enrolled Agent with international experience, or the IRS's free preparation programmes if you qualify.
- Housing disputes: your local legal aid organisation or tenants' union.
- A problem with a bank, lender or money transfer service: complain to the provider in writing first, then escalate to the relevant federal consumer regulator.
Republishing our work
You are welcome to quote a paragraph or two with a link back to the original guide. For anything longer, or for translation into another language — which we encourage — write to us first at PRESS. We usually say yes, and we would like to know where it is going.
