Legal Services and Consultations

Start US Visa may provide professional immigration consultations, legal analysis and representation through licensed attorneys or other authorized legal professionals, depending on the nature of the matter and applicable law.

Individual legal advice is based on the specific facts, documents and circumstances of each client.

Website Use Does Not Automatically Create an Attorney-Client Relationship

Visiting this website, using its tools, sending a general inquiry or reading website content does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only when the legal matter has been accepted and any required engagement or representation agreement has been completed.

General Website Information

Articles, guides, visa descriptions, checklists and other general website content are provided to help visitors understand U.S. immigration and visa processes.

General website content should not be treated as individualized legal advice for a specific case unless advice is provided directly in the context of an established professional relationship.

Interactive Tools

Tools such as the Visa Finder, Document Checklist, Interview Simulator, Visa Wait Time Checker and USCIS Processing Time tools are designed to assist users in understanding possible visa paths and application processes.

Automated results are not a final legal determination of eligibility and should be reviewed together with the facts of the individual case when professional legal advice is required.

No Guarantee of Outcome

Immigration and visa decisions are made by U.S. government authorities. No attorney, representative or immigration service provider can guarantee the outcome of a case.

Start US Visa does not guarantee:

• Approval of a visa application.
• Approval of a petition or immigration benefit.
• Visa issuance.
• Admission to the United States.
• A specific processing time or appointment date.

Immigration Information May Change

Immigration laws, regulations, policies, government forms, filing fees, procedures, appointment availability and processing times may change.

Start US Visa works to keep website information useful and current, but important case-specific information should always be evaluated against current law and official government requirements.

No Government Affiliation

Start US Visa is a private legal services and immigration information provider. It is not part of the U.S. Department of State, USCIS, the Department of Homeland Security or any other U.S. government agency.

Confidential Information

Until representation has been formally established, users should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through general website forms unless specifically requested.

Once an attorney-client relationship is established, communications may be subject to applicable professional confidentiality obligations and attorney-client privilege.

External Websites

Start US Visa may link to official government websites and other third-party resources. External websites are governed by their own content, security, terms and privacy policies.
