Source review pending on some pathways

Official destination authority pages should be checked before action, because policy and evidence requirements can change.

The report is a preparation document and should not be treated as legal advice or an official submission outcome.

Professional review may be appropriate for complex pathways, refusals, sponsor-linked evidence, or regulated advice questions.

Official source references exist for Australia pathways, but row-level preparation guidance should still be checked before action because evidence rules and process steps can change.
