Testimonials from Portugal
My fiancé and I filed our K1 Visa the second or third week of January 2013 and then got the receipt January 28th and got our first Notice of Action January 30th. RapidVisa visa never left us hanging while we were waiting for our approval notice or Notice of Action 2. They have been very helpful and entertained us very well. They always have accurate answers to our questions. They never sugar coated anything. They would rather tell you they can't answer your question if it's beyond their knowledge than telling you something just to have an answer to your question. To make it short RapidVisa would never lie or give you wrong information.
Since we got or NOA1 I started bugging up RapidVisa about our application because I'm being too impatient already. Waiting for the approval is the hardest part of this process because it feels like forever but when I checked our case status in USCIS website the 13th day of May, Monday afternoon, I was surprised when I checked our status in their website (USCIS) It didn't take to long before we received our Notice of Approval from USCIS. It only took us 3 months and 2 weeks. And we didn't even expect that our case will be approved that day, that soon. I guess it's really true that good things come when you least expect it. Then the night of that day I talked to RapidVisa and asked them about the things we have to do next.
They answered all my questions even gave me a check list about the documents I will have to prepare for the interview. Had my medical exam done The 28th and the 29th of May then had my interview scheduled July 1st since there were no vacancies for June. I started working on my documents and tried to fill up the forms myself but there were things that kind of confused me so I asked RapidVisa if they could help me out on my DS forms. I asked them if they could fill it up for me and have it printed too ( yea I know that was too much, lol ) since I only have a laptop and I ain't got no printer at home and there's no way that I could save nor print it somewhere but I'm glad they said say.
When I got to their office they helped me filled up my forms answer some question I got confused and printed everything for me. I'm glad I visited them so they could also double check my documents and other stuffs I have prepared for the interview. Here's the timeline of our K1 process if you would like to know:
01/22/2013 - sent application
01/28/2013 - receipt from USCIS
01/30/2013 - noa1

RapidVisa has been a big help to us and we will surely be using them again to assist us with our Adjustment of Status. God bless and more power!
