Limited Scope Representation Agreement (“Attorney Agreement”)
This Limited Scope Representation Agreement (“Attorney Agreement”) governs your relationship with the independent immigration attorney (“Attorney”) retained by AEXlaw Inc. (DBA GOH1B) (“Service Provider”) to review your H-1B application documents before they are delivered to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). These attorneys are independent practitioners. They will exercise their independent judgment as attorneys, without influence or control by Service Provider. Your relationship with Service Provider is governed by the [Terms of Use] and [Privacy Policy].
By agreeing to have an attorney review your application documents online, you and the Attorney enter into a limited attorney-client relationship. The Attorney agrees to assist you in filling out government forms and conduct a basic review of the H-1B application documents you have submitted. The Attorney agrees to provide, for a flat fee clearly disclosed to you prior to payment, the following services:
- Submitting Labor Certification Application (LCA);
- Filling out the I-129 Forms and relevant supplements;
- Reviewing the supporting documents you have drafted and submitted for completeness and consistency with the forms prior to filing;
- Preparing the response of Request For Evidence for this application to the USCIS if any;
- Answering questions about the forms and supporting documents that you have submitted for the Attorney’s review.
We have agreed that the total fee for this engagement will be as outlined in the receipt. The legal fee is payable upon the execution of this agreement.
It is expressly understood that this fee is based upon the scope of engagement as defined above. Any expansion of the scope of services shall be the subject of a supplementary or separate engagement letter, which defines the scope of such additional services to be performed and the fees to be paid for such additional services. The fact that you have paid Service Fees in advance does not affect your right to terminate the attorney-client relationship. If your relationship with the Attorney is terminated before the agreed legal services above have been completed, you may or may not have a right to a refund of a portion of that fee.
Client understands that it is responsible for government filing fees and mailing fees. Government filing fees include but are not limited to: I-129 Filing Fee, Fraud Prevention and Detection Fees, U.S. Working Training Fees, Premium Processing Fee (optional), and H-4 Filing Fee.
The Attorney must act in your best interest and give you competent assistance. However, the Attorney’s representation of you is limited to the scope described above. The Attorney will not perform any additional legal work for you, such as representing you in any proceeding before any court or government agency, including USCIS. If you are the foreign worker, you must be certain that your employer is fully aware of the scope of the Services prior to filing the H-1B application. You specifically agree that:
The Attorney is relying entirely on the facts, information, and documents you and/or your employer provide. The Attorney will not make any independent investigation of your and/or your employer’s facts or information, or the authenticity of any documents you provide. It is therefore extremely important that you and/or your employer are completely truthful as to any information you provide.
The Attorney is not promising you a favorable result.
The Attorney is not required to help you and/or your employer with any other part of your needs or any other legal questions you and/or your employer may have.
The Attorney’s representation of you and/or your employer ends when Service Provider delivers your H-1B application document to USCIS or when the Attorney advises against filing the documents.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Arbitration Rules.
