“Marriage Green Cards” is the name of a focused marriage-based immigration website and resource operated by the firm. It is not a separate law firm, government agency, lawyer-referral service, attorney-matching service, or qualifying provider.

General Information Only — Not Individual Legal Advice

The website provides general informational and educational material concerning marriage-based immigration, green card procedures, USCIS interviews, consular processing, removal of conditions, government notices, denials, waivers, and related immigration topics.

The information does not constitute legal advice for a particular person or matter. It does not create a legal opinion concerning:

• Eligibility for an immigration benefit;
• Admissibility to the United States;
• The effect of a criminal or immigration history;
• The proper response to an RFE, NOID, denial, refusal, or investigation;
• Whether a marriage petition or green card application should be filed;
• Whether a person should travel, depart, remain, or appear for an interview;
• Whether a waiver, motion, appeal, or new petition is available; or
• The likely outcome or processing time of a case.

Immigration matters depend on the complete facts, current law, government records, prior applications, testimony, evidence, procedural history, immigration status, deadlines, and discretionary considerations.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Viewing this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, requesting a consultation, or participating in preliminary intake does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship begins only after:

• The firm reviews and expressly accepts the matter;
• Any required conflict check is completed;
• The required parties sign a written engagement agreement;
• Any required initial payment or engagement condition is completed; and
• The firm confirms that the representation has begun.

The firm may decline a prospective matter based on scheduling, conflicts, case posture, evidence, legal issues, deadlines, professional judgment, fee arrangements, or other lawful considerations.

When representation is accepted, the written engagement agreement controls the scope of the firm’s responsibilities. The firm is not responsible for a separate form, family member, deadline, appeal, court case, waiver, or other issue outside the agreed scope.

Deadlines, Emergencies, and Time-Sensitive Matters

The website, contact form, email address, telephone number, and voicemail are not emergency services.

The firm does not accept responsibility for an immigration filing, RFE response, NOID response, appeal, motion, interview, hearing, consular appointment, departure date, status expiration, or other deadline unless the firm has accepted that responsibility in writing.

Submission of a form, email, fax, or voicemail does not establish that:

• The communication was received successfully;
• The firm reviewed or understood it;
• An attorney was available before the deadline;
• The matter was accepted;
• The firm agreed to take action; or
• The deadline was extended or protected.

Confidentiality and Electronic Communications

Do not assume that information submitted before an attorney-client relationship exists is protected by attorney-client privilege.

The firm will handle prospective-client information in accordance with applicable professional obligations. However, preliminary communications may be processed through website hosting, WordPress, WPForms Lite, WP Mail SMTP, email-delivery, spam-prevention, security, and other technology providers.

Internet communications may be delayed, filtered, misdirected, intercepted, corrupted, blocked, or accessed without authorization.

After representation begins, confidentiality, privilege, professional responsibilities, and document-sharing procedures are governed by applicable law, professional rules, and the written engagement agreement.

No Affiliation With USCIS or Another Government Agency

MarriageGreenCards.com and The Messersmith Law Firm, P.A. are private and are not owned, operated, sponsored, approved, or endorsed by:

• United States Citizenship and Immigration Services;
• The United States Department of Homeland Security;
• The United States Department of State;
• Customs and Border Protection;
• Immigration and Customs Enforcement;
• The Executive Office for Immigration Review;
• A United States embassy or consulate; or
• Any other federal, state, local, or foreign government agency.

Government agency names, immigration form numbers, statutory citations, government terminology, office names, and links are used only to identify the relevant agency, procedure, law, form, or public resource.

Government forms are generally available from official government sources without charge, although government filing, biometric, medical, translation, document, or other fees may apply.

Attorney Licensing and Geographic Scope

The availability of this website in a state, territory, or country does not mean that every attorney associated with the firm is licensed to practice the law of that jurisdiction.

United States immigration law is primarily federal. An attorney may be permitted to represent immigration clients located in other states or abroad, subject to applicable licensing, agency, tribunal, and professional-responsibility rules.

Website content should not be interpreted as an offer to provide advice concerning foreign law or an unrelated state-law issue.

Criminal, family, tax, employment, business, estate, medical, or foreign-law issues may require separate advice from an appropriately licensed professional.

Past Results, Approved Cases, Testimonials, and Examples

The website may describe prior approvals, resolved matters, case examples, client experiences, common fact patterns, or other results.

These descriptions are provided for general informational purposes and do not guarantee, predict, or promise the outcome of another case.

No Guarantee of Approval, Processing Time, or Government Action

The firm does not guarantee:

Processing times and case-status estimates may change because of workload, background checks, requests for evidence, interviews, investigations, transfers, litigation, policy changes, security reviews, administrative processing, or other factors outside the firm’s control.

Legal analysis and professional judgment are not promises that a government agency, consular officer, court, or other authority will agree.

Accuracy, Completeness, and Changes in Immigration Law

The firm attempts to provide useful and accurate information but does not warrant that every page is complete, current, error-free, or applicable to an individual matter.

Immigration law and procedure can change through:

• Federal statutes and regulations;
• Court and administrative decisions;
• Executive action;
• USCIS, Department of State, CBP, ICE, and EOIR policy;
• Form editions and filing instructions;
• Government fees and payment methods;
• Filing addresses and online procedures;
• Office practices and interview procedures; and
• Country-specific or security-related requirements.

A page’s publication or revision date does not guarantee that every external link, government fee, filing address, procedure, or interpretation remains current.

No Criminal, Tax, Medical, Financial, or Foreign-Law Advice

Immigration matters may involve issues outside the firm’s agreed immigration representation.

Third-Party and Government Websites

The website may link to USCIS, the Department of State, other government agencies, courts, maps, social platforms, news sources, professional organizations, or other third-party websites.

Links are provided for convenience or reference. The firm does not control or guarantee the third party’s:

• Legal accuracy or completeness;
• Continued availability;
• Security or accessibility;
• Privacy practices;
• Fees or transactions;
• Content updates; or
• Products and services.

A link does not constitute sponsorship, affiliation, endorsement, or adoption of every statement appearing on the external website.

Website Availability and Reliance

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for general informational purposes.

The firm does not guarantee continuous availability, uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every browser or device, freedom from errors, or security of every internet transmission.

The firm may revise, remove, relocate, or discontinue website content, forms, features, links, office guides, service descriptions, or other resources at any time.

This website disclaimer is not intended to waive or limit professional duties arising after the firm has accepted an attorney-client relationship.

Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

This Disclaimer should be read together with the website’s:

• Privacy Policy, which explains information collection and data practices; and
• Terms of Use, which governs access to and use of the website.

A signed engagement agreement separately governs any accepted attorney-client representation.
