- Separate government and third-party costs from service fees
- Avoid paying for records before confirming they are relevant
Records commonly reviewed

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions before you start
Is the government fee included in a service quote?+
That depends on the provider. Ask for a written breakdown showing official, third-party and service fees separately.
Is the filing fee refundable after refusal?+
Government filing fees are generally charged for processing, not for approval. Confirm the current official terms before filing.
Why do two cases cost different amounts?+
Multiple jurisdictions, missing records, previous immigration findings and urgent document work can change the preparation required.
What is a U.S. Entry Waiver?+
It is advance permission that may allow an otherwise inadmissible nonimmigrant to temporarily enter the United States. Whether it is the right route depends on your circumstances.
How long does the process take?+
Timing depends on the documents needed, case complexity and current government processing. The first step is understanding which route applies to you.
Is the AI giving legal advice?+
No. The assistant helps collect information, explain general concepts and prepare a preliminary assessment. It does not guarantee eligibility or approval.
