USCIS policy + Federal Register updates feed
Our cron pulls from three sources every 6 hours: the USCIS Policy Manual updates page, the USCIS Newsroom alerts feed, and the Federal Register API. Each update is deduplicated by content-hash and classified by a heuristic that tags items touching the H-1B layoff window — grace period, EAD, compelling-circumstances EAD, AC21 portability, premium processing, consular processing, AOS discretion. Both feeds below are live; the layoff-relevant feed is what most of our audience watches.

Sources are official: the USCIS Policy Manual updates page, the USCIS Newsroom alerts, and the Federal Register API. We don’t add editorial. Each item links to the primary source so you can read the actual text yourself. The relevance tag is a heuristic — rely on it for triage, not for legal interpretation.
