Terms of use

Agreement to these terms

By using usvisa.com and its pages, tools, forms and emails (the "site"), you agree to these Terms of Use, our privacy policy, our disclosures and our advertising disclosure. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. "USVISA.com," "we," "us" and "our" mean the operator of the site.

General information only

The site provides general educational information about U.S. immigration. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative who knows the facts of your situation. Immigration law is complex and changes often; information on the site may be incomplete, out of date or not applicable to you. Always check the official government source and get individual advice before acting.

USVISA.com is not a law firm and is not affiliated with any government agency. See our disclosures.

No attorney-client relationship

Reading the site, using a tool, signing up for emails, sending us a message or submitting the attorney form does not create an attorney-client relationship with USVISA.com or with any attorney. An attorney-client relationship begins only when you and an attorney both agree to it, usually in a written engagement agreement. Until then, do not assume that information you send is confidential or privileged.

Attorney inquiries

  • Our "Need a lawyer? Email us" form lets you send a description of your situation to participating attorneys who advertise on the site. We pass your inquiry only to the attorney or attorneys you choose and consent to.
  • We do not evaluate your legal matter, recommend or endorse any attorney, or guarantee that an attorney will respond, accept your matter or achieve any result.
  • You decide whether to hire an attorney. Any agreement, fees and services are solely between you and the attorney. Attorneys set their own fees.
  • Participating attorneys are independent. They are not our employees or agents, and we are not responsible for their advice, services, fees or conduct.
  • You agree to give truthful information and to submit inquiries only for yourself or someone who has authorized you to act for them.

More detail is in our advertising disclosure.

Tools and calculators

Our tools provide estimates based on general rules and data as of the date shown in each tool. They cannot determine eligibility, approval chances, exact fees or deadlines for your case. You are responsible for confirming results with the official source or a qualified professional before filing, paying or relying on any date.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the site for any unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive purpose, including impersonating USVISA.com, a government agency or an attorney
  • Submit false, misleading, abusive or spam inquiries, or inquiries on behalf of someone without their permission
  • Send malware or try to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems
  • Interfere with the site's operation, including by overloading it
  • Scrape, copy or harvest content or data by automated means, except as permitted by our robots.txt file, without our written permission
  • Use our content to train or build a competing product or dataset without our written permission
  • Remove or obscure notices, labels or disclaimers

We may block access or remove submissions that violate these terms.

Content and intellectual property

Our guides, tools, design, logos and other original content are owned by USVISA.com or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. You may view, print and share pages for personal, non-commercial use, and you may quote short excerpts with a link to the source page. Any other use requires our written permission. Government materials we link to or quote remain public or belong to their owners. Attorney advertisements are provided by the advertising attorneys, who are responsible for their content.

Your submissions

When you send us feedback, correction reports or suggestions, you allow us to use them to improve the site without payment to you. We will not publish your name or personal details without your permission. Attorney inquiries are handled as described in our privacy policy.

Third-party sites and services

The site links to government websites, attorney websites and other third-party resources. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, security or practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Translations

We offer content in English and Spanish. Translations are provided for convenience. If there is a conflict between the English and Spanish versions of these terms or any legal page, the English version controls, to the extent permitted by law.

Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, TOOLS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ATTORNEY WILL RESPOND TO OR ACCEPT YOUR INQUIRY.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, USVISA.COM AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON SITE CONTENT OR TOOLS, MISSED DEADLINES, DENIED APPLICATIONS, OR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY ATTORNEY OR THIRD PARTY. BECAUSE THE SITE IS FREE, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and indemnify USVISA.com against claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or your violation of these terms.

Changes and termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time. We may update these terms by posting a new version with a new effective date. Changes apply from that date; if you keep using the site after that, you accept the updated terms.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which USVISA.com's operator is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at info@usvisa.com and try in good faith to resolve the issue informally for at least 30 days. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.

General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms, together with the policies they reference, are the entire agreement between you and us about the site.
