Testimonials from Brazil
Greetings,
I would like to share our experience with Rapid Visa. At first I thought this would be a process I could do on my own since I have done it before, but I soon realized that immigration rules, costs, and forms change at a moments notice, and I decided it would be best to get some assistance. I am more than happy with my experience with Rapid Visa, mainly because the format online makes everything so simple. I am especially happy now, since we are now applying for Adjustment of Status. I began the process on my own, but then realized I am writing down the same information that I had in the original visa petition, and that’s when I remembered that I could have Rapid Visa help me with this part too! My husband and I are very appreciative of this service and feel it is well worth the cost. I feel secure with Rapid Visa, that the documents I submit will be done correctly the first time, therefore speeding up the process. Here is a brief timeline for those of you who need some encouragement while waiting for the visa process.

And to that end, we are now applying for Adjustment of Status... but that’s already getting taken care of, it literally took me 10 minutes to check over all the info after I paid for the AOS service and it’s now being reviewed! SWEET!
Thanks again Rapid Visa...
Oh, and one more thing... I do appreciate all the help that is readily available, you never made me feel like I was asking too much, and that is nice to know there are people to rely on.
