Testimonials from Guatemala
Hi everyone,
I want to let everyone know that using Rapidvisa.com is the best decision you will ever make. They are quick, reliable, trustworthy, friendly and very experienced! They are always there for you and do not delay in contacting you back quickly. My wife's CR-1 visa took us 15 months to complete but that was because of USCIS backlogs and the poor way in which they put out their information. My wife is from Hermosillo, Mexico.
The initial application is the longest wait and then it goes quickly after that. I contacted RapidVisa several times and had gotten bad information from other sources but they got me back on track quickly.
The only thing I would recommend is maybe an information page for people to share their experience when they went to their visa appointment. Mine was a real headache and I had so much bad information from their website. I have a lot to share and we weren't the only ones with these problems.
But I could always rely on Rapid Visa to give me accurate information. My wife and I are so happy now and we highly recommend this website.

Shared information -
When you arrive for your Visa appointment make sure you have Medical completed and results in hand and also fingerprints completed and in hand. You have to do your medical exam there in Juarez. Don't get it before because it will not be accepted. You can not enter for your appointment without this! We had to payout $100 more for fingerprints and to set appointments by local office.
Make sure before you leave for your appointment that your Affidavit of support is current. Ours was outdated and I had to reprint at Juarez. Apparently a new one came out before our appointment.
Medical cost us $400 because they make you get all your vaccinations again regardless if you already have them. Don't get them prior to your appointment. Its a waste of time and money.
Take extra money with you. We paid out about $600 to $700 more then we expected and get there at least one business day early. Ask at your Hotel for local information about your visa appointment. Our hotel knew (what had to be completed first) a lot and they were very helpful. In Juarez, Mexico stay at the Ibis Hotel. (Find online).
It's almost connected to the medical exam building and it's right across the street from Consulate building, food, transportation. Everything except DHL is there. Your visa packet will be sent via DHL. We had it sent there in Juarez and you'll get it in 1 business day. Maybe even that afternoon.Immigrants - Know your spouses and family information! A lot of people were denied because they forgot the name of there father-in-law or mother-in-law.
Know as much as you can and be ready. Don't answer unless you are sure of the question. Hesitation or correcting your answer will make you look suspicious and they will question you more. You will not go to an office, you will go to a window for your interview. Don't carry anything more than you have to due to security. Only immigrant is allowed at interview. The others will wait outside. Wait outside close by in case your spouse/fiancée needs something from you. A lot of people were holding purses for women. Internet, copy places, passport photos, etc. were all right there. Medical opens at 6 am and you get results at 1 pm. Fingerprint appointments need to be made ahead of time. Hotel may be able to get you contact information.Sincerely,
~ Juan and Brenda
To the RapidVisa staff:
We would like to express our deepest thanks to all at RapidVisa for helping us in our journey to unite as a family. Before stumbling upon your website, we have no idea where or how to start our paper works on getting our visa. Fortunately, despite the thousands of visa websites, my husband Ron saw RapidVisa first. And though we are having second thoughts in using them because they sounded too good to be true (there fee is way cheaper than the rest visa agencies we've seen online) we talked about it and since we wanted to start the petition right away and RapidVisa sounded so honest, we did register and give it a go.. And since then, they kind of held our hands all they way to the finish. If it wasn't for our own delay along the way, we could have finished our journey in less than six months. Nevertheless, we filed our petition in April of 2012 and December 6 of the same year, we had our schedule for the interview at US embassy Manila. Four days later, we got our visa package sent to Baguio. We can't thank you enough :). Now, the three of us are together. You are so encouraging when we have doubts and very helpful when we have questions 24/7. Your fee is very much reasonable and doesn't charge for kids, so even if the application is for two individuals (for me and our daughter), Ron only paid for me. Am not surprised if all your clients (us included) feel like you are friends.
Again, more power to your office and to each individual working at RapidVisa.
Thanks,
~ Ron, Marj and Mariel
Dears Sir/Madam,
My wife and I would like to express our sincerest thanks for your fantastic services. We didn't have much in the way of finances to work with and were naturally nervous about signing up for an on-line do-it-yourself type of set up but... Wow! We are so happy that we did. Your process is so simple and dumbly proof. All we had to do was fill in the blanks and all of the forms were completed for us. It was a breeze!
Albert and the rest of the support staff were always been there to assist us with anything questions or needs that we had.
My wife and I are now living happily together and so glad that we took the "chance" to use your company. Thank you RapidVisa!
~ Mike and Cora
