Testimonials from Argentina
We were extremely happy with the service Rapid Visa provided, in that time of great stress with so much to think about and do it was well worth the low cost to have the help from Rapid Visa.
At the very beginning my husband contacted Ben who was most helpful and friendly, I think empathy might be the best word to describe that experience, we felt that Ben and the staff actually 'felt' and clearly understood our frustrations.
Thank you guys, one and all. We are now happily married and living in South Carolina USA together fixing up our little home.

"Hola, puedo decir que rapidvisa es mejor para manejar casos de inmigración. Comencé el proceso de visa k1 el 7 de julio de 2014 y para el 5 de octubre de 2014, mi novia tenía su visa y el 30 del mismo mes, ella estaba aquí conmigo. Rapidvisa facilitó todo y todo fue muy claro. Rapidvisa está al día con los casos de inmigración, son lo mejor de lo mejor. Gracias por todo."

My experience of the US visa system. I am a male engineer from the UK, working here in the USA on a H-1B.I married an American citizen after a couple of years here in the US. This is how it went for me (and I do NOT ever write this stuff, but felt obliged to show my gratitude to a business with a service that delivers what they say they will).I originally downloaded all the forms from USCIS website to do the change of status, marriage etc. and then realized that you cannot fill these forms in without help (they are crazy difficult). I inquired about the cost of legal help (attorneys etc.) and this could potentially cost thousands (I checked!!!).After doing more research I came across 'Rapid Visa'. I did further research and all the reviews came up good. I created an account, paid the money and entered all my details. Some of the questions proved a little awkward, so I contacted Ben (via email). He was extremely helpful, knowledge and quick to respond. After many hours gathering data (answer's to the extensive questions that are a requirement) I printed off the docs (loads of them) and very carefully reviewed them. I used a highlighter pen to check and double check all my entry's (surprising how many errors you can make entering information on this scale).Then got Rapid Visa (Ben) to check it all over, and then followed the very detailed “assembly” instructions (which are worth the money alone!!!).Posted off as instructed, and sat back.
The time line of my case is shown below. I know you hear horror stories, on Google and the like, but all went extremely smoothly for me. ALL of the paperwork I submitted through 'Rapid Visa' was 100% correct and accepted by the immigration people (USCIS).The office interview (all married couples have to have one) was very basic and polite. If you have indicated that you have a document they ask to see the original, nothing to catch you out. The usual “how did you meet etc.”, show them a bunch of bills, photo's, legal documents and basically demonstrate that you are a genuine married couple (that's all they want to see).
My advice: Get organized, if you don't know something- ask someone. Just for the record, thanks to Ben at 'Rapid Visa' who did a lot of helping.
