Is VisaGrade a Government Website?
No. VisaGrade (visagrade.com) is an independent informational website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government. Searches for “visagov” usually mean this site or a misremembered official portal address — there is no immigration agency called Visagov. Official immigration services live only on government domains: USCIS at uscis.gov and travel.state.gov for the United States, GOV.UK for Britain, canada.ca for Canada, and the equivalent official portals listed above. VisaGrade only summarizes those public sources in plain language; it cannot file applications, check your personal case, or give legal advice.
