Our guides are not legal advice
Everything THE MARKET HIVE GROUP LIMITED publishes is a general educational publication. Our guides explain how US immigration categories, forms, and processes work in general terms. They are written to inform, not to advise you on your particular situation, and they should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
No attorney-client relationship
Reading, buying, or downloading any guide does not create an attorney-client relationship, or any professional or fiduciary relationship, between you and The Market Hive or anyone associated with it. We are publishers, not your lawyers.
US immigration law is complex and fact-specific
Outcomes turn on small details, your exact history, your employer, your timing, your country of nationality, and much more. What is true for one applicant may be wrong for another in a seemingly similar position. A guide cannot know your facts, and so it cannot tell you what to do in your own case.
Laws and procedures change
US immigration law, government fees, forms, and processing practices change frequently, sometimes with little notice. We research our guides against current US government sources at the time of writing and update them when material changes occur, but we cannot guarantee that every guide reflects the very latest legal development at the moment you read it. Always check the current position before you act.
Consult a licensed attorney for your case
For advice on your individual circumstances, consult a licensed US immigration attorney. This is exactly why we are building our partner attorney network, every attorney is an AILA member, licensed to practice in at least one US state, and vetted by us, so that when you need real advice, you have a trustworthy place to find it.
Who we are
THE MARKET HIVE GROUP LIMITED is a UK-registered educational publisher. We are not a US law firm and not regulated immigration advisers. Our role is to make the landscape clear; a licensed attorney’s role is to advise you within it.
Acting on our guides
If you choose to act on information in our guides without consulting a licensed attorney, you do so at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Market Hive is not responsible for decisions you make, or outcomes you experience, based on our educational materials. For the full legal terms, see our Terms & Conditions.
