United States Terms

Last updated: 6 September 2026

These terms are read together with the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, and govern everything relating to employment or study inside the United States. Where they conflict, this document controls on U.S. matters.

1. Who we are — and who we are not

DreamBridgeUSA is an independent private company providing technology platform services. To leave no room for doubt:

• We are not an employer. We hire nobody, pay no wages and set no working conditions. The U.S. employer alone carries the legal responsibility for employment.
• We are not a law firm and we do not give immigration legal advice. Nothing on the platform is a legal opinion, and using it creates no attorney–client relationship. For representation, consult a licensed immigration attorney or an EOIR-accredited representative.
• We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with one — not the Department of State, not USCIS, not the Department of Labor.
• We are not a university and grant no admission.

2. Visas and immigration decisions

• Granting or refusing any visa rests solely with the competent U.S. authorities: the consulate or embassy, USCIS, the Department of Labor, and the officer at the port of entry. We have no influence over any of them.
• We do not guarantee a visa, a processing time, an outcome, or an interview date.
• A "visa sponsorship" badge on a listing means only that the employer stated that intention at posting time. It is not a promise, a guarantee, or a commitment by us.
• Programmes such as H-2B are subject to a federal annual cap. Meeting every requirement does not mean a visa is available.
• Never pay anyone for a "guaranteed" visa. Anyone who promises you one is lying to you — whoever they are, and whether or not they claim a connection to us.

3. What you pay, and what the employer pays

This is the most important section in the document. Read all of it.

3.1 The platform service fee

The platform charges one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) for platform services: converting your CV into a machine-readable (ATS) format, building your professional profile, matching it against available openings, and delivering your application to the employer. It is charged through our payment provider; your card number never reaches our servers.

• The fee pays for work the platform performs — not for a job, not for a government decision, and not for advantage over another applicant.
• Paying it does not improve your chances of selection. Ranking uses skills, experience, education, language, availability and location only.
• Nothing is ever deducted from your wages — not by us, and not by an employer on our behalf.

3.2 What the employer pays

Recruitment costs, legal and administrative services, and government petition fees are the employer's responsibility and are invoiced to the employer directly. The employer may not pass them to you in any form: not up front, not as a wage deduction, and not as a "loan" repaid later.

3.3 Refunds

• The fee is refunded in full where the service was not delivered — the listing is withdrawn before your file is processed, or we cannot perform the service for reasons attributable to us.
• The fee is refunded in full if it turns out the law prohibited charging it in your case (section 4), even after the service was performed.
• It is not refunded merely because an employer did not select you, because the service was in fact performed.
• Refund requests: within 30 days of payment, to refunds@dreambridgeusa.com

4. The recruitment-fee prohibition — the rules that bind us

U.S. law protects foreign workers from bearing the cost of obtaining work. The rules that concern you:

What we do about it: where a vacancy falls under a programme or a state to which the prohibition applies, no service fee is asked of you and your application is delivered free. If an amount was collected from you in a case where the prohibition applies, write to refunds@dreambridgeusa.com and it is returned in full, without conditions.

5. Foreign labor contractor registration

Several states require anyone recruiting foreign workers for work inside them to register, post a bond, and give written disclosures. The platform operates only in the states where it is registered:

• States registered in: to be completed before publication
• Registration numbers and surety bonds: to be completed before publication

6. Anti-trafficking and forced labour

This is not a formality. The platform commits to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and its reauthorisations, and prohibits every employer and every partner from:

• Holding your passport or any identity document. Nobody may keep your passport — not the employer, not an agent, not us. It stays with you, always.
• Debt bondage. You may not be bound by a debt or a "recruitment advance" that restricts your ability to leave a job.
• Preventing you from resigning. You may leave a job at any time under the terms of your contract. It may affect your visa status — but it is your right, and it may not be blocked by threats, document confiscation, or a penalty.
• A contract different from what you were promised. You may refuse to sign it, and you should tell us immediately.

7. Equal opportunity and non-discrimination

• Jobs on the platform are handled without discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, age, disability or genetic information — under Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA and GINA.
• INA §274B additionally prohibits discrimination on the basis of citizenship or immigration status in hiring. An employer may not demand specific documents to prove work authorisation, nor reject a valid one.
• Our matching engine uses skills, experience, education, language, availability and location only. It does not use nationality, race, religion, sex, age or marital status. Its score is advisory and makes no hiring decision — a human always does.
• To complain about discrimination: the EEOC on 1-800-669-4000, or the Department of Justice IER section for citizenship-status discrimination.

8. Wages and hours

• The wage shown on a listing is what the employer stated, and may be subject to a prevailing wage set by the Department of Labor in programmes that require one.
• The federal minimum wage and overtime rules apply, and your state's minimum may be higher — the higher one applies.
• No deduction from your wages may be made for the platform. Any other deduction must be lawful and disclosed to you in writing before work begins.
• You must receive a written offer stating pay, hours, place and duration before any travel.

9. Safety and the right to complain

• You are entitled to a safe workplace under OSHA, and to report a hazard without retaliation.
• Retaliation is prohibited. You may not be dismissed, threatened with your visa, or have your pay cut because you complained or cooperated with a government investigation.
• If you are retaliated against, tell us at legal@dreambridgeusa.com and tell the authority. We end our relationship with an employer where this is established.

10. The employer's obligations to us

By using the platform, an employer represents and warrants:

• That it is a validly existing legal entity authorised to employ in the United States, and that every listing is a real vacancy on real terms.
• That it does not and will not collect any recruitment fee from a worker, permits no agent to do so, and will include the contractually required prohibition in its agreements with recruiters.
• That it will not hold any worker's identity documents.
• That it will disclose to us every agent or recruiter it engages, and their contact details, where the law requires it.
• That it complies with federal and state wage, safety and non-discrimination law.

Breach of any of the above ends the account immediately, and we may report it to the competent authority.

11. The education track

• Academic admission and issuance of the I-20 rest with the university and SEVP alone. We guarantee neither.
• University data (tuition, deadlines, acceptance rates) comes from published sources, and each record shows when it was last updated. Always confirm on the university's official site before any financial decision.
• Work during study on an F-1 visa is restricted by SEVP rules. Do not rely on work income to fund your studies.

12. Messaging on the platform

• A message channel opens between you and the company after your application is submitted. Your full name stays hidden from them until they shortlist you.
• Do not move the conversation off the platform. Outside it there is no record, no protection, and no proof of what you were promised.
• Administrators may read conversations for safety and fraud prevention, and every such read is written to the audit log. The system automatically raises a flag when money is requested outside the platform or outside contact details are exchanged.
• If you are asked for money, or asked to move to another app, report it at once to report@dreambridgeusa.com.

13. Governing law and dispute resolution

• These terms are governed by the laws of the State of to be completed before publication and U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
• Any dispute is first addressed informally, within 60 days of written notice to legal@dreambridgeusa.com.
• Arbitration: the arbitration clause and its opt-out are for your counsel to settle. No arbitration clause covers — and none may cover — claims of human trafficking, forced labour, or unpaid wages before a government agency.
• Nothing in this document prevents you from filing a complaint with the Department of Labor, the EEOC, OSHA or any government agency, or from cooperating with an investigation. Any clause purporting otherwise is void.

14. Consumer protection and billing

• The service fee is a single charge per application, not a subscription. It does not auto-renew, and no second amount is taken without your request.
• After every payment you receive a message stating the amount, the reference and the date.
• Residents of some states have additional cancellation and refund rights under their own state law, and this document does not reduce them.

15. Intellectual property and content

• Your documents are yours. Uploading them grants us a limited licence to process them and show them only to those entitled to see them, for the purpose of serving you, ending when you delete them.
• The platform's content, design and mark belong to us.
• DMCA copyright notices: dmca@dreambridgeusa.com — registered agent: to be completed before publication.

16. Accessibility

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, consistent with the ADA. If you meet a barrier that stops you using any part of the platform, tell us at access@dreambridgeusa.com; we will address it and provide you an alternative route to the service.

17. Minors

The service is not directed to anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If we learn of a minor's account we delete it. Parents and guardians: privacy@dreambridgeusa.com

18. Changes to these terms

We may change them. Any material change is notified by email and inside the platform 30 days before it takes effect, and the last-updated date at the top of this page changes with it. Continuing to use the service after it takes effect is acceptance.
