Legal notice | New Chapter America

Education counseling, not immigration law

We help with school selection, applications, admissions, and school-side enrollment. We are not an immigration law firm, do not give legal advice, do not prepare or file immigration forms, and are not affiliated with USCIS. Under California law, we do not act as immigration consultants.

What we do

School and program selection for international students
Admissions applications and enrollment coordination with partner schools
School-side I-20 and timeline coordination after you are accepted
Optional educational practice interviews focused on conversational English and study plans
Introductions to independent licensed U.S. immigration attorneys when you ask
Arrival and ongoing support (housing, general questions)

What we do not do

Legal advice, legal strategy, or representation before any U.S. authority
Completing, reviewing, or filing DS-160 forms or other immigration petitions
Legal interview coaching on immigrant intent or visa eligibility
Guaranteeing university admission, scholarships, transfer credits, or visa approval

Admissions, I-20s, and scholarships belong to the school

We help you put together a complete application. Acceptance, prerequisites, transfer credits, scholarship awards, and I-20 issuance are decided solely by each school. We have no authority over those decisions.

Visa filings and complex cases

Once your I-20 is issued, the visa filing step (DS-160, SEVIS fee, consular booking, and interview) is yours to complete. Visa decisions belong to U.S. consular officers. If your case involves a prior refusal, overstay, status violation, or another legal issue, we will refer you to an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorneyrather than guess..

Independent third-party referrals

When we introduce licensed U.S. immigration attorneys, housing services, or other providers, they operate as separate businesses. We do not take referral fees or kickbacks from attorneys. We do not supervise or assume responsibility for their advice, contracts, work, or fees.

Estimates, timelines, and governing law

Tuition figures, living costs, consular wait times, and government processing speeds change often. Numbers on this site or in conversation are planning estimates, not guarantees. This website and notice are governed by the laws of the State of California, with venue in Sacramento County.
