government office or agency. All government-required forms and information are available without cost

specified in the Schedule(es) to this Agreement if applicable. All Schedule(s) duly signed by the Parties shall

shall have the same term and shall be terminated with the Agreement. The Schedule(es) shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the same laws and rules as the Agreement.

1.6. Limited Agency Relationship. Service Provider shall act as a limited agent of Client solely
for the purpose of performing the Services outlined in this Agreement. Service Provider shall have no
authority to enter into any legally binding agreements, make commitments, or otherwise affect the Client’slegal rights or obligations except as expressly authorized in writing by Client. With Client’s prior approval,

of relevant information.

by third-party entities or individuals to whom Client is referred but with whom Service Provider has no

Disclaimer: NO LEGAL SERVICES OR ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP.
Service Provider is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. All information, guidance, and
support offered by Service Provider are strictly for informational and administrative purposes and
should not be interpreted or relied upon as legal advice.
No attorney-client relationship is created by the provision of services under this Agreement. Service
Provider’s principals, representatives, and agents are not licensed attorneys, and as such, any
communications with them are not protected by attorney-client privilege or any other legal
confidentiality protections applicable to legal counsel.

3.1. Rights and Obligations of Service Provider:
(a) Service Provider shall provide the Services in accordance with professional standards and accepted industry practices.

(b) Service Provider shall maintain the confidentiality and security of documents and personal data received from Client. Such information shall be used solely for the performance of the Services and may be shared with third parties if necessary for the execution of this Agreement, provided that such disclosure complies with applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

(c) Upon Client’s request, Service Provider shall provide general updates regarding the status and progress of the Services being performed.

(d) In the event of a U.S. visa refusal, Service Provider may offer non-legal, informational support to assist Client in evaluating next steps.

Service Provider will inform Client of any relevant deadlines for visa-related payments and documentation. However, if Client fails to take necessary action before the expiration of such fees or documents, Service Provider shall not be responsible for any resulting invalidation or additional costs. If an I-20 form requires an update due to expiration or institutional changes, Client is responsible for any associated reissue or registration fees. Service Provider may assist in rescheduling the start date of Client’s program, provided that the original start date has not already passed due to Client’s inaction. For subsequent visa interview attempts, Service Provider may assist with rescheduling and provide supplemental informational materials; however, Client remains responsible for paying any required consular or governmental fees.

SCHEDULE A
Detailed Price List and Service Terms

Last update: March 25, 2025

This Addendum (“Addendum”) is entered into by and between the Parties to the main Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) and is hereby incorporated by reference into the Agreement as an integral Schedule. This Addendum outlines detailed pricing and service-specific terms for services offered by the Service Provider and shall have the same effective date and duration as the Agreement unless otherwise agreed in writing by both Parties.

Description Summary: A call with visa expert, trip planning, Q&A
Price (USD): $149
Payment Terms: Full prepayment, one-time consultation. Additional consultations must be purchased separately.
Service-Specific Description and Terms: The consultation covers questions about U.S. educational institutions, admission to partner organizations, visa interview locations, required documents, and other travel-related matters. Topics are limited to studying in the U.S. or traveling on a B/B2 visa, though the list is not exhaustive.

“Personal Manager” – personal manager is the person who provides remote support to the Client at all stages of their trip, including but not limited to: opening a bank account, obtaining a SIM card, renting a car, acquiring a driver’s license, and finding long-term housing.

“MRV Fee” – is the non-refundable visa application fee required for most nonimmigrant U.S. visa categories. MRV stands for Machine-Readable Visa. This service applies to MRV fees of up to $185.00 USD only (e.g., F-1, F-2, B1/B2 visas). Service availability depends on the specific U.S. consulate or embassy.

Additional terms for payment of MRV Fee: Payment is made exclusively by bank card; if not possible, alternate arrangements must be agreed upon and may affect the price. If payment must be processed through the Client’s personal account (e.g., https://ais.usvisa-info.com), the Client must complete their account fully and accurately, provide login credentials and required details, confirm the consulate location, and refrain from logging in or making changes until payment is complete. If payment is processed without the Client’s account, the Client must provide necessary details such as full name in Latin characters, email, and country-specific information. When using a group account on the AIS website, all group members will be charged, potentially increasing the total. Processing may take up to 7 business days, or longer in case of bank or technical delays; a business day is counted only if it is such in both the U.S. and the consulate’s country. The Provider will make the payment using the provided details and send a confirmation within 5 business days after processing. Personal data will be used solely for service delivery, per the Privacy Policy and User Agreement. Upon request, the Client may receive status updates within 5 business days. The Client acknowledges the Provider is not liable for third-party processing delays, client-provided errors, or actions that interfere with payment (e.g., account lockouts). The Provider may refuse service at any point due to technical issues, in which case a refund will be issued, less banking and incurred fees. If MRV payment is included in another service package, these terms still apply. The fee covers a one-time payment for a single country; if a U.S. bank card cannot be used, extra charges may apply.

“SEVIS Fee” – is a mandatory U.S. government fee paid by certain international students and exchange visitors before applying for a visa or entering the United States. SEVIS stands for Student and Exchange Visitor Information System.

Additional terms for payment of SEVIS Fee: To complete the process, the Client must provide a valid I-20 form and other required information. All form fields are filled based on the Client’s submitted data, as outlined in the Offer, Appendix, or other agreements between the Parties. The Client must submit the necessary documents within the specified timeframe, or within a reasonable period if no deadline is set, and ensure payment is completed no later than three business days before the visa interview. The service processing time is up to five business days, or longer in case of delays (e.g., from banks). The Provider will process the payment and deliver proof of payment within five business days after successful processing. Personal and confidential information will be used exclusively for service delivery and handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and User Agreement. Upon request, the Provider will update the Client on the service status within five business days. The Provider is not liable for delays by third parties or errors in the information provided by the Client. The Provider reserves the right to refuse service at any stage due to technical issues, in which case a refund will be issued minus any applicable bank or processing fees.

All Clients added to chats must comply with the chat’s rules and conditions.
