Testimonials from Mexico
WOW, what a long ride it was to get my wonderful wife to the USA, but in the end, we are together and she’s now the head Cake Decorator at our Baskin Robbins – Broad Ripple in Indianapolis, IN. When I started the search to find someone to help me with all the paperwork, I talk to 3 or 4 different companies including Rapid Visa. I was impressed with Rapid Visa because they had an office close to the US Embassy my wife could go to for advice and check all her the paper work from time to time. As it turned out, that was a service she used several times.
Errors are made, sometimes by people in the U.S. Government working on the Visa requirements, so when I was sent a letter of everything my wife was to take to final interview at the Embassy, and it seemed to be missing something, I called Rapid Visa for advice. They agreed, one of the main items she would need was not on the list but would be needed. When my wife went to the interview, one of the 1st items they ask for at the Embassy was the Item that was not on the list. It was nice for my Wife to be able to go to Rapid for advice and be able to have Rapid Visa double check everything prior to her interview. They are a good company and if for no other reason than to make your spouse feel more confident, I felt it was worth what they charged me. I know your Spouse or future Spouse will have more confidence when she goes for her interview if she has been able to use the services of Rapid Visa.

“Llevar a una prometida a los Estados Unidos puede parecer muy desalentador, especialmente con las múltiples agencias involucradas. Sin embargo, estoy muy feliz de informar que el proceso fue hecho mucho más manejable por Rapid Visa. De principio a fin fueron muy serviciales, proporcionando las herramientas adecuadas y respondiendo preguntas. Nuestro paquete de solicitud inicial fue recibido el segundo de agosto y la entrevista final de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos fue el 15 de noviembre, apenas tres meses después. Utilizamos las preguntas de la entrevista de práctica en el sitio web y que resultó muy útil. Nuestra solicitud fue aprobada de inmediato. Ahora tenemos una boda que organizar!”

First, let me say I was neither paid or solicited by RapidVisa for these comments. RapidVisa gave me the best service I have ever had! If only I could get such excellent service from my electric or internet providers. RapidVisa was all over it, from the first step, to the day she got off the plane in the USA. Spot on advise, that allowed me to fill out all the forms and relax knowing exactly which boxes and lines I could leave blank and which ones were required. These guys answer the phone 24/7! Unbelievable, my mother won't even do that, and the phone never rang more than 5 times before they picked up! They also have 24 hour online chat, so you always know what to do and what the status is. From the time I sent my petition in until, my Filipina bride landed in the US was only 4 months. In Manila my fiancé went by their office and they helped her obtain and organized her documents and coached her thru every step of the process. With RapidVisa I never had to worry if something was left undone or missing in the process. I cannot express how pleased I was with their service, they are the BEST! I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but I just had to write it, in case someone out there is about to go thru the K-1 Visa process, I cannot express how pleased I am with their service… They are the BEST! So forget the "journey" RapidVisa makes it easy. Gary Ramsey Checotah Oklahoma, USA
