This premium service offers a 100% money-back guarantee if your application is rejected (except for rejection code 214(b)), plus additional benefits not provided by the government. Our guarantee is a money-back promise if you are rejected. No one can guarantee your application will be approved. However, if you are rejected after we have reviewed your application, and you have answered all questions 100% honestly and without omission, you have responded appropriately to all government requirements, you meet the income requirements, you do not intend to leave your home country to immigrate to the United States (embassy code 214b), and you were not rejected for criminal activity, we will refund 100% of the fees you paid.

Your refund request must include copies of all communications with the government that led to your rejection. If a family visa is rejected, we will refund fees for up to three family members.
Credit Card Dispute Notice
By using our services, you agree to be bound by our Terms of Service and Refund Policy. Using a refund request to obtain a refund outside of these terms is a violation of these terms.
If you, as a paying customer, do not respond to our support staff's requests for more information within 90 days or longer from the date you purchased our services, and as a result your application is unsuccessful, you are not entitled to a refund of any kind and agree not to initiate a credit card refund.
We take this issue very seriously and may report the suspicious payment dispute to payment processors, U.S. government card issuers, and other relevant agencies, along with evidence of fraud. Because refund fraud is a criminal offense, it can result in temporary or permanent travel bans to the destination country and may lead to criminal and civil charges.
We encourage our customers to contact us to resolve any issues they may encounter and to prevent any potential or future problems.
Right of withdrawal
Under the exceptions provided by applicable laws and regulations, the application for obtaining or updating Form DS-160 is a distinctly personalized document because it contains the personal information of the applicant and is generated specifically for the client. Therefore, the right of withdrawal does not apply, and thus the client cannot exercise it.
