Am I eligible for a family-based visa or green card?
What immigration law firms need to publish
This is the single highest-stakes question in the industry set — a wrong casual answer can carry real deportation or family-separation risk.
How customers actually ask it
The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:
- “Am I eligible for a family-based visa or green card?”
- “visa eligibility question”
- “can I sponsor my relative”
- “do I qualify”
What a complete answer contains
For immigration law firms specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 4:
- 1
An explicit refusal to assess individual eligibility
- 2
Why — real consequences make a casual answer genuinely dangerous
- 3
General category information that IS safe to share
- 4
Direct routing to a paid consultation
A worked example
Illustrative — not a real business
I can't assess your specific eligibility here — this depends on details that carry real consequences if evaluated casually, so it's one thing we only address in a paid consultation with an actual attorney. Generally, family-based categories include spouses, parents, children and siblings of citizens or residents, each with very different wait times. Book a consultation and we'll review your actual situation properly.

What silence costs
This is the one question in the entire content set where a wrong answer isn't just unhelpful — it can be genuinely dangerous to someone's life and family.
More questions immigration law firms get

- How long does a green card application take?
- Realistically, how long will my immigration case actually take?
- What happens if my current status expires while my case is still pending?
- Can my family member actually sponsor me, and does the relationship type matter?
- Does it matter that I entered the country without inspection, or overstayed a visa?

AI customer support for immigration law firms
Immigration law carries consequences — deportation, family separation, lost work authorization — that make a wrong or generic answer genuinely dangerous, not just unhelpful. RubyRep is built around one absolute rule: general process and timeline information is answered freely, but any question shaped like 'am I eligible' or 'what should I do about my case' is routed to a paid consultation every single time, with no exceptions.

What is AI customer service?
AI customer service means answering customer questions with a language model rather than a person. The useful implementations are grounded in a specific business's own content; the poor ones let a general model improvise, which produces confident answers that are wrong.

What is a knowledge base?
Traditionally a knowledge base is a help centre humans read. For AI support it is the source material a representative answers from — which means an ordinary website, well written, can serve as one without a separate help centre.
Does your site answer this already?
Point RubyRep at your website and ask it this exact question. If it cannot answer, neither can your customers.
