View the parts of a record someone shared with you.

Only shared parts appear; the owner sees when you open it and can stop sharing at any time.

Add a folder, a zip or many files. Fru reads each, says what it is and whose it is, and proposes facts with the words they came from; one confirmation fills your record.

Nothing reaches your record until you confirm. Files about someone else are kept out; existing values are never overwritten. Extraction is not verification of authenticity.

Use the safe return action when a saved link or address no longer reaches a screen.

Status comes from the official State Department pages and stops showing after its review date; entry is only on dvprogram.state.gov.
