Terms of Engagement – Representation
Joseph Kallabat & Associates, PC (hereafter "JK&A") will solely represent your
Employer in connection with the requested H-4 immigration services (the
Services). Please review the below information and by submitting the
questionnaire you have no objections to JK&A's representation of your Employer
in connection with the Services.
The I-129 nonimmigrant petition is an Employer sponsored petition. You desire
that JK&A provide the Services in a manner most likely to result in the
expeditious issuance of the H-4 nonimmigrant visa on your behalf. Please note
JK&A's obligation to represent and respect the wishes of your Employer is our
primary responsibility. JK&A does have a duty to your Employer and any
information that is material to the representation of either party will be
disclosed accordingly.
There are several issues which you must be aware of concerning JK&A's representation
of your Employer. The first concerns our obligation of confidentiality. Attorneys
are under a duty not to disclose to anyone any information disclosed by a client
to the attorney in confidence. JK&A will not disclose any information that you provide
to us in connection with the Services to any third party. However, JK&A's representation
will obligate us to disclose your information that is material information relating
to the representation to your Employer without regard to whether such information
constitutes a client confidence or secret. Second, at issue in any representation
setting is the Attorney's ability to represent its client with zeal and loyalty,
should a conflict arise. There always exist potential areas of conflict in representation
situations.
Should an actual conflict between you and your Employer arise, JK&A will inform
both parties of the feasibility of JK&A's continued representation. Should JK&A
find our continued representation is in both parties interest, we will, after full
disclosure, continue your representation. JK&A's main consideration will be whether
we can, in fact, zealously represent both parties without compromising our loyalties
to either. Yet, should a dispute be such that the parties decide to litigate, by
agreeing to the terms listed here, you allow JK&A to choose to continue representation
of your Employer without your prior consent should we so choose. Any information
we have obtained during this representation, whether confidential or not, can be
disclosed by us.
Additionally, please authorize our office to access your I-94 & travel history records from the following link: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home. By clicking "YES", you are providing us authorization to access your records. By accessing this website, you understand and acknowledge that: You are declaring under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S. Code � 1746 that you: (1) are only seeking records about yourself, (2) are seeking records about someone for whom you are the legal guardian, or (3) you have the consent of the person whose records you are seeking. You are not authorized to access this website to retrieve records of another person unless you are the person's legal guardian or you have the person's consent.
By submitting the H-4 questionnaire you acknowledge that you understand the
potential advantages and disadvantages of this representation, and that you have
decided to proceed with this representation. You hereby waive your right to
disqualify JK&A from representing your Employer in other immigration matters.
