About Us

Streamline Crew Solutions Limited is a New Zealand registered company providing visa document preparation and appointment booking services for yacht crew seeking United States B1/B2 non-immigrant visas.

We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Nothing in our communications, forms, guides, or invoices constitutes legal advice.

Services not included: legal advice, immigration representation, consular interviews, or any services not listed above.

Clause 03

No Guarantee of Visa Approval

Important The decision to grant or refuse a US B1/B2 visa rests solely with the US Department of State. SCS has no influence over, and accepts no responsibility for, the outcome of any visa application. A visa refusal does not entitle the Client to a refund of service fees or government disbursements.

Payment Terms Full payment is required before any work commences. SCS will not begin preparing documents, submit any information to the US Embassy, or book any appointment until payment is received and confirmed.

Refund Policy

Service fees are non-refundable once work has commenced (upon receipt of your completed form and payment). If you cancel before work begins, a full refund less card processing fees will be issued.

Disbursements (Embassy fees) are non-refundable once paid to the US Embassy on your behalf. No refund will be issued for visa refusals, consulate delays, or circumstances outside SCS's control.
