Pricing Terms & Conditions

1. Scope of Fees

All quoted plan prices represent attorney fees and professional service fees only, unless otherwise stated.

Government filing fees, premium processing fees, translation costs, credential evaluations, expert opinion letters, mailing expenses, and any third-party service costs are separate and are the responsibility of the client.

All fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars (USD).

2. Government Filing Fees

USCIS filing fees are not included in any plan price and may change without notice. Clients are responsible for all applicable government fees at the time of filing.

Current examples of government fees may include:

• Form I-140 filing fee
• Form I-129 filing fee
• Asylum Program Fee (where applicable)
• Premium Processing Fee (optional)
• Adjustment of Status filing fees
• Consular processing fees

Silicon Path Law will notify clients of applicable government fees prior to filing. Clients are encouraged to verify current USCIS fee schedules at https://www.uscis.gov/fees, as fees are set by the government and may change at any time.

3. Plan Selection

Services are provided according to the plan selected by the client at the time of engagement.

Plan features, support levels, revision limits, coaching sessions, attorney involvement, refund eligibility, and communication channels vary by plan. Specific inclusions are outlined in the signed engagement agreement and plan description provided at the time of engagement.

Clients are encouraged to review the plan description carefully and ask questions before signing. If you are unsure which plan is appropriate for your matter, please contact us before engaging — see Section 17.

4. Payment Terms

Full payment or an approved installment arrangement must be established before substantive legal work begins.

Where available:

• Installment plans may be offered at Silicon Path Law's discretion and will be set out in the engagement agreement.
• Missed payments may result in suspension of services until the account is brought current.
• Petition filing may be delayed if payment obligations remain outstanding at the time of intended filing.

5. Refund Policy

Essential Plan

Fees paid under the Essential Plan are generally non-refundable once legal work has commenced. "Legal work commenced" means the date on which attorney review of your profile or materials begins, as confirmed in writing.

Professional Plan

Professional Plan clients may be eligible for a denial-based refund benefit as described in their signed engagement agreement.

Any refund or guarantee under the Professional Plan applies only when all of the following conditions are met:

• The client follows attorney guidance throughout the engagement;
• All requested evidence and information are submitted accurately and on time;
• No material facts relevant to eligibility are withheld or misrepresented;
• The case remains substantively eligible throughout the representation period.

Specific refund percentages, eligibility criteria, timelines for submitting a refund claim, and claim procedures are defined in the signed engagement agreement and will be communicated at the time of engagement.

Elite Plan

Elite Plan clients may be eligible for an enhanced denial-based guarantee, subject to the conditions described in their signed engagement agreement.

Exclusions Applicable to All Guarantee Plans

Refund guarantees do not apply where denial results from, or is substantially contributed to by, any of the following:

• Client misrepresentation or omission of material facts;
• Failure to provide requested evidence within agreed timelines;
• Criminal, immigration, or employment issues not disclosed during intake;
• Changes in law, policy, or government adjudication standards that affect eligibility after engagement;
• A decision by the client to file against attorney advice, documented in writing.

6. No Guarantee of Approval

Silicon Path Law strives to prepare the strongest possible petition; however, no attorney or law firm can guarantee an immigration benefit or petition approval.

• Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
• All immigration petitions are adjudicated solely by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of State, or other applicable government authorities.
• Silicon Path Law has no control over government adjudication timelines, policy changes, or individual officer decisions.

This section constitutes a required disclosure under applicable attorney advertising rules.

7. Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs)

Responses to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs) issued by USCIS are not included in standard plan fees unless explicitly stated in the client's signed engagement agreement.

If USCIS issues an RFE or NOID, Silicon Path Law may offer representation for the preparation and submission of a response. Such services are billed separately based on the complexity of the notice.

• Additional fees for RFE or NOID responses may be charged up to $3,000 USD per response.
• The exact fee will be determined after attorney review of the government notice and communicated to the client in writing before work begins.
• Fees for RFE or NOID responses are non-refundable once work has commenced.

An RFE or NOID response engagement does not include appeals, motions to reopen, motions to reconsider, federal litigation, or representation in any subsequent immigration matter, unless separately agreed upon in a new written engagement agreement.

8. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and truthful information at all times;
• Submit all requested documents and supporting materials promptly and within agreed timelines;
• Review drafts and provide feedback within timelines specified by counsel;
• Notify Silicon Path Law promptly of any material changes in employment, immigration status, criminal history, or other facts affecting eligibility.

Delays or adverse outcomes caused by incomplete documentation, inaccurate information, or lack of client responsiveness may affect case timelines and may void any applicable refund guarantee.

9. Processing Timelines

Estimated preparation timelines are provided for planning purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of filing or completion dates.

Actual timelines depend on:

• Client responsiveness and document availability;
• Complexity of the case and the evidence profile;
• USCIS processing times, which are set by the government and outside our control;
• Government policy changes or processing surges.

Silicon Path Law cannot guarantee specific filing or adjudication dates. Clients who have time-sensitive immigration needs (such as visa expiration, travel, or employment authorization deadlines) should disclose this at intake so that timeline considerations can be incorporated into case planning.

10. Plan Upgrades

Clients may request an upgrade to a higher service tier at any time prior to filing.

Upgrade pricing will be calculated based on the difference between plan tiers, adjusted for any additional work already completed at the time of the upgrade request. Upgrade terms will be confirmed in a written amendment to the engagement agreement before additional work begins.

11. Concurrent Filings & Bundle Discounts

Where offered, bundle discounts apply only to qualifying concurrent engagements and must be confirmed and approved in writing before work begins.

Discounts cannot be combined with other promotional offers unless expressly stated in the engagement agreement.

12. Changes to Pricing

Silicon Path Law reserves the right to modify pricing, plan features, and service offerings at any time.

Changes will not affect signed engagements already in progress unless mutually agreed upon in a written amendment signed by both parties.

13. Attorney-Client Relationship

Payment of fees alone does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

Representation begins only after all of the following have occurred:

• Completion of a conflict-of-interest check;
• Execution of a written engagement agreement signed by both the client and Silicon Path Law;
• Receipt of required upfront payment or confirmation of an approved installment arrangement.

Until all three conditions are satisfied, Silicon Path Law does not represent you, and no attorney-client privilege attaches to communications exchanged prior to that point.

14. No Legal Advice / No Attorney-Client Relationship from Website Use

The information contained on this pricing page and throughout this website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Viewing this page, reading plan descriptions, submitting an inquiry form, or sending an email to Silicon Path Law does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not share sensitive or confidential immigration information through the website contact form until a formal engagement agreement has been executed.

15. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution. In the event of any billing dispute or disagreement regarding fees or services, clients agree to first contact Silicon Path Law in writing at support@siliconpathlaw.com and allow 30 days for good-faith resolution before initiating any formal proceedings.

Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Pricing Terms — including disputes regarding fees, refunds, or guarantee eligibility — shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis in Santa Clara County, California, or via videoconference.

Class Action Waiver. You and Silicon Path Law each waive the right to bring or participate in any class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding related to these terms or any fees paid.

16. Governing Law

These Pricing Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent any dispute is not resolved through arbitration, it shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of Santa Clara County, California.
