Can I request a refund of the fee if I quit halfway through?

When it comes to the EB-2 NIW visa, it is natural to have questions about the progress of the process and the fees paid during its processing. Many ask if, in case they decide to withdraw from the process, it is possible to request a refund of the invested amounts.

In general, government fees, such as those applied by USCIS, are considered non-refundable, regardless of withdrawal or case closure. This means that even if you choose to terminate the process before its completion, the amount paid to the authorities will usually not be refunded.

Furthermore, if you have hired advisory or consultancy services, it is important to check the contract signed with the professional or the company, as the fees paid may have their own rules about refunds or deductions in cases of cancellation.

It is always essential to follow United States immigration laws and ensure that all steps of the procedure are properly executed to avoid surprises. Additionally, it is recommended to seek information through official sources or specialized professionals – to ensure that your decisions are based on reliable data and to avoid getting involved with misleading promises of quick or guaranteed results.

Each situation is unique, and therefore, if there are doubts regarding refunds or any other step of the process, it is advisable to carefully review the applicable contracts and regulations. This way, you will be better prepared to make the most appropriate decision for your case, always maintaining compliance with the law and avoiding unnecessary risks.
