No, the final decision is strictly made by the respective government authorities. We provide expert guidance, preparation, and comprehensive reviews to maximize your chances of success, but we cannot guarantee an approval outcome.
Processing times vary by country, visa type and time of year, ranging from a few weeks to several months. We'll help you understand realistic timelines for your specific situation during your consultation.
Yes — we complete the application form for you. That said, you'll always need to carefully revise every detail we've entered and click submit yourself, since you remain the applicant of record. This isn't just our policy; it's a legal requirement. Third-party application fillers like us are permitted to prepare the application, but final submission must always come from you.
It depends on the visa type and country you're applying to. Some applications require an in-person interview, while others are processed without one. We'll confirm this with you early in the process.
A previous refusal doesn't automatically disqualify you. We'll review what happened and help you strengthen your application before you reapply.
Financial requirements depend on the visa type and destination country. We'll walk you through what's typically expected and help you prepare the right documentation.
