HOW IT WORKS

How the AskDM Framework Works

1. Watch the courseVideo lessons for your category (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1A, asylum, family) — you'll understand how documentation is commonly organized for your immigration category and which types of documents may be relevant.

2. Organize your own Google DriveYou create the folders yourself, name them yourself, and put in only what's relevant.

3. Write your story in your own words.

4. Submit two thingsA link to your Drive folder, and your story.

5. AskDM compares your narrative with your documentationAskDM compares your narrative with the documentation in your Drive folder and identifies which statements are supported by available records.

6. Review the results and confirm factual accuracy.If something's missing, add it yourself — nothing goes into your case file without your review.

7. Receive your organized case fileA structured documentation summary, table of contents, and evidence exhibits — built only from what you reviewed and approved. Plus filing instructions linking to official government pages for current fees and submission details, rather than generating information that could go out of date.

Why AskDM Works Differently

Many immigration tools rely on questionnaires to generate documents. AskDM takes a different approach.

Instead of asking leading questions or attempting to determine legal eligibility, AskDM focuses on education and documentation organization. You learn your immigration process through structured educational content, prepare your own documentation, and review every output before deciding how to use it.

The platform organizes information — it does not make legal decisions.

Built on the AskDM Zero-Legal-Advice FrameworkAskDM is intentionally designed to educate and organize — not to provide legal advice. The platform does not ask leading legal questions, determine eligibility, recommend filing strategies, or make legal decisions.

The AskDM Principles

• Education First — Learn the immigration process before using the tools.
• Zero Legal Advice — AskDM does not provide legal advice, legal strategy, or eligibility determinations.
• You Control Your Information — You write your own story. You organize your own documentation. You review every output.
• Transparency by Design — Every output is generated only from the information you provide and review.
• Official Sources — When procedures, filing locations, or fees change, AskDM links to official government resources instead of generating potentially outdated information.
