I met Joecelyn in July 2013. Our relationship grew and we decided that we would like to get married and spend our lives together. We looked into the K-1 Visa and found Rapid Visa. Everyone there at RV were very helpful. We had lots of questions along the way and the following people were very patient and helpful in answering our questions. Johben, Irish, Tina, Rimer, Dan, and Albert are the ones we remember. Sorry if we left anyone's name out.

I talked to someone who decided to go it alone in getting a K-1 Visa instead of using an agency and it took them almost a year to get their Visa. By us using Rapid Visa, it took us 5 months from start to finish.

Joecelyn and I would really like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we will be using RV for her AOS too.
