Testimonials from Dominican Republic

Rapid Visa has been such a major blessing in the life of myself and of my wife. The great people at Rapid Visa made the long and stressful process of getting my wife's visa approved so much easier. They were there what seemed liked 24/7 to answer our questions.

Once again I am so thankful for Rapid Visa and for helping me bring my sweet girl here to start our life of love and joy together. Rapid Visa is amazing!

By following the advice of RapidVisa, our process went perfectly. They provided us with step by step instructions and answered all of our questions very quickly. The result was approval of our K1 Visa petition without any problems at all.

I recommend RapidVisa to anyone going through this process. I have heard many stories about people who tried to do it on their own and had many difficulties and delays. We had none of that due to the folks at RapidVisa.

To those of you using RapidVisa, the wait for USCIS review of your petition is long and frustrating. But be assured, once they approve it, the process goes very quickly. Be patient and follow the directions provided by RapidVisa and your result will be as happy as ours.

We couldn't be happier with how the whole process went.

Everything that could go wrong while applying for a visa during a pandemic, went wrong. Without the right documents and the corrections made by Rapid Visa, this lengthy process would have been doubled! The interviewer for my husband's visa even commented on how well organized all his paperwork was. That was not a reflection of me, but Rapid Visa. All people who want to go about this process alone, don't do it! Pay the fee and do it right the first time. It'll be well worth it.
