How verification works

The pending versus approved pipeline, human review, and why a missing link is a feature.

Edit suggestion

Most travel sites answer every question, including the ones they should not. BROVi Scan's document library takes the opposite bet: it would rather say "we have not verified that yet" than hand you a guessed link. This page explains the pipeline that makes that possible.

The pipeline, in user terms #

  1. A candidate is found. Curators, and a research pipeline that searches official government domains, propose candidate links for a specific country, visa class, and document type.
  2. It enters as pending. New entries start in a pending state. Pending entries are never shown to users, not by the assistant, not on corridor pages.
  3. A human approves it. A reviewer checks the actual page: is it the official source, is it the specific document requested, is it live? Only then is the entry approved.
  4. It stays monitored. Approved links are re-checked on a schedule. If an official source goes down or moves, the entry drops out of results until it is healthy again, rather than being served as if it were fine.

Because of steps 2 and 3, the honest answer to some requests is "not in our verified library yet". When that happens, the assistant says exactly that and logs the request for curators (see Requesting a corridor).

Note

This is the core promise: every document link you see has been human-approved from an official source and is monitored for liveness. A gap in coverage is visible as a gap, never papered over with a search-engine guess.

What verification does not mean #

Approval verifies the source and the link, not your case. A verified application form is still the official authority's form, with the official authority's rules; whether you qualify, and whether the requirement changed this morning, remain between you and them. Verification narrows the trust problem; it does not remove it.
