Information and Evidence Provided by the Client

Migration USA will use and rely on information and evidence provided by the Client in the provision of the Service. Migration USA will not independantly verify or assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. Accordingly, the information and evidence provided by the Client must be correct, including date of birth, qualifications, work history, contact details, or any other infomation or evidence as may be relevant to the case. If the information or evidence provided by the Client is not correct or complete or does not originate from the source required, as advised by Migration USA, Migration USA reserves the right to charge additional fees for repeated advice or dispute, irrespective of any flat-fee or payment plan.

In the eventuality that additional work arises, or is due to arise, out of the lack or provision of information or evidence, such to include, but not be limited to, adding additional dependants, making changes to the case, disputing elements of the case counter to professional advice provided, or anything that  causes requests for evidence (RFEs) by USCIS or any other relevant source, Migration USA will advise the client of the associated cost to the client. Failure to agree to such additional costs or any dispute arising therefrom shall also constitute an additional time spend under these terms and so be similarly billable. If the relationship between client and Migration USA breaks down to such an extent that the client refuses to comply with advice or breaches the law, then Migration USA reserve the right to withdraw from all forms of service to the client, issue proceedings for the breaches in law, especially if such breaches affect Migration USA. Migration USA shall also proceed no further and issue no refund to the client for services engaged. In the interests of clarity, should fees in the client account not yet be used by the consultant and Migration USA on the case, based on published hourly fee rates, such fees shall be used as a (partial) retainer to address the dispute and resolve any legal claims against the client, should such claims exist. Should there be no such fees avialable in the client account or the costs to Migration USA shall be likely to exceed fees in the client account, the consultant and Migration USA reserve the right to issue proceedings to reclaim said fees and any associated damages. Should the client refuse to take the advice of Migration USA, the client has the right to instruct Migration USA to proceed as the client sees fit, provided the terms of this and other clauses herein are adhered to.

Any advice provided to you should not be used by any third party as each case varies depending on the particular circumstances of the applicant and the applicant's family. Such action will result in an immediate breach of our Copyright terms as set out above.

Types of Services

Migration USA offers a selection of Services which vary depending on the country a person is seeking to migrate to. A brief introduction to these Service types can be viewed by clicking the appropriate link below. A detailed description of what is included in your Service can be found on our Website.

We endeavour to have one of our service team members or Migration Consultants reply to your query within two (2) working days of receiving the question. In some cases, however, it may take longer than the two (2) working days. This will depend on the nature of the question.

Migration USA reserves the right not to respond to questions that:

• do not relate to migration matters; or
• are not submitted in English; or
• are not related to the Client's Profile; or
• are not appropriate.

If multiple questions are submitted in one session, Migration USA reserves the right to request that the Client resubmit the questions separately, or to limit the amount of questions asked in a 24-hour period.

Professional Consultation Service

The client must book the date and time of the consultation by selecting the "Book Consultation" option in the Client Area or by contacting one of our offices and speaking to a Client Services Consultant.

Any pre-paid fee will be forfeited if the client is not reachable at the number provided or does not contact our office at the booked consultation time and does not provide at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of cancellation. If you need to cancel or reschedule the consultation, you can provide notice either through the Client Area of the Website, or by telephone within the 24 hour period specified.

As the client telephone consultation is a one-time exclusive engagement, no further advice will be provided at its conclusion. Any further consultations, either by telephone or e-mail, with a Migration Consultant are not covered by the Professional Consultation Service fee. If a further consultation(s) is desired and/or required, the client may choose to purchase an additional telephone consultation or another migration service.

Some services from Migration USA include a complimentary consultation.

All clients are required to telephone our office at the assigned time. 

If the client has already paid for the Professional Consultation and then opts to cease the engagement for any reason, without providing notice as stipulated above, there will be no entitlement to a refund.

Professional Conduct

We can only assist and advise people who want to migrate or travel to their selected country. Please note that the final decision on all visa applications rests with the relevant government department in each respective country. We do not in any way guarantee any visa or green card award. as part of our service.

Fees Payable

Any fees paid to Migration USA are for the provision of the Service/s listed on our Website. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Services using one of our accepted payment methods.

Migration USA fees are based on the following rates:

Senior Consultants: £600 per hour
Consultants: £400 per hour
Accounts and Billing Staff: £250 per hour
Admin and Support Staff: £100 per hour

Migration USA bill by the hour or, where offered, on a fixed fee basis. Where fixed fees for a matter are quoted, all fixed fees shall be based on the time usually expended on a matter, as illustrated by a combination of personnel illustrated above. If Migration USA's expenditure of time is more or less than the fixed fee quotation due to matters normally required in the workings of a case, and as long as the client adheres to the advice provided, fees will not change for the Client and will remain as quoted.

However, if the time spent on a case is more that the fees quoted due to the client fielding extra-curricular queries, the client not adhering to advice, meaning consultants repeatedly needing to issue the same advice or becoming involved in debate about the nature of a case or payment, where such has been clearly stated to the client, then Migration USA, having warned the client that this may be the case, retain the right to consider all projected time allocated to a case as "spent," meaning that, even if there are elements yet to do in a case, then those elements, and the time spent on them, have used up the quoted fee. Migration USA shall also have the right to withdraw their representation. In such instances, at no time shall any fees paid be due back to the client and any extra fees due from the client shall be advised as due to the client.

Card Payments

Migration USA may offer the Client the option to pay fees, or any stage fee payment, by debit or credit card, via its approved third party card processing facility, which can be identified to the Client upon request. Any card payment incurs a cost to Migration USA of 4% of the payment value and such fee shall be passed onto the Client and added to their payment.  

If the Client has any dispute with the service of Migration USA, they are asked to communicate with us detailed in these terms of business. If the Client initiateds any attempt to chargeback or otherwise cancel any such card payement, they shall be iconsidered n full breach of these terms of business and will be deemed to have withdrawn from service, at which time, Migration USA shall have the right to charge additional fees for the relevant time taken to dispute the said chargeback or fee cancellation. Migration USA will immediately engage its legal representation to pursue the Client, through the courts, for any fees it has charged back and any time it has taken Migration USA to defend the chargeback claim and any associated time and charges it has incurred as a result.

Payment Plans 

On occasion, and strictly on a case-by-case basis, Migration USA may offer the Client a commuted Payment plan under subscription. It is recognised and accepted by the Client that the provision of advice and information is to be considered a commodity, as well as a time-related item. The value of the commodity is equal to 50% of fees paid as it represents a providion of information based on experience ove rmany years. It is also recognised and accepted by the Client that the total Migration USA quoted fee is due in full in advance, unless clearly split in identified petition and visa steps or latter stage payments being contingent on early stage approvals, and therefore all payment stages of a payment plan are due on engagement but commuted to the plan at the discretion of Migration USA for the benefit of the client. All fees are due without exception under our terms of business. If any stage is unpaid, all stages become due and Migration is within its rights to abandon all work on the Client's case and seek payment of the full quoted fee via, plus any recovery fees and interest, by any means at its disposal. Migration USA also reserves the right to charge the Client a recovery fee and/or additional fees at the Accounts and Billing Staff rate identified in these terms and namely £250 per hour, if a stage remains unpaid, to remind the Client of an outstanding payment. In the interests of clarity, the recovery fee shall be £500 plus any legal fees required to secure payment and interest shall be 4% of outstanding fees per month.

Our fees do NOT include other costs which are part of the immigration process such as government filing fees, medical and police checks, translation of documents, etc. As part of the Service/s which is/are provided to you, an approximate indication of the fees which form part of the process will be set out for you, together with clarification as to when these costs are due.

The client agrees that all services fees are deemed earned once paid and subject to the terms of termination outlined in this agreement;

The client agrees that the service fees will be deposited into the Client Account within 14 days of receipt, as applicable;

Refund Policy

As soon as payment is received, the Client is deemed to have engaged the Services of Migration USA. Our Service is our professional and personalised advice and expertise. Once the Service has been provided to you, it cannot be returned, whether or not you have changed your mind or you no longer wish to utilise it.

If you submit a written refund request through the Client Area within 8 hours of payment, you may be entitled to a partial refund if the full service has not yet been provided to you and/or work has not commenced on your profile. However, this does not mean that there has been no work done on your case. We will have already communicated with you by phone, email or SMS, perhaps provided a report and undertaken research and other elements on your case, all of which are billable. In addition, any time it takes to calculate and issue a refund is all aslo billable. By agreeing to the terms and conditions of the site, you agree that service fees are non-refundable following 72 hours of payment or provision of the service, whichever occurs first.

All refunds remain strictly at the discretion of management and will incur a banking and administration fee of £50 or 15% of your initial payment (whichever is greater).
