Rapidvisa.com... Thoughts? (or similar service)

Anyone have any recent thoughts or experience using Rapidvisa.com (or similar service) for a K1 or CR1 visa? Yes everyone says if you follow the directions carefully there is no reason you can't fill out the forms yourself, but for someone like me who is unorganized (as a trait, not out of laziness), and who isn't very good putting together professional looking packages?

It seems to me that Rapid Visa caters more to the Philippines. That's the country that tends to have the 6-7 months from start to finish guarantee that they claim.

Also, it is not necessarily how professional a package looks like but rather how bona fide and truthful it looks in the eyes of USCIS and NVC.

It's my understanding that rapid visa walks you through it, however you are still the one who fills out the forms. So, I don't exactly see the point. If it makes you feel a bit better about the process though then I'd say do it.

Has been discussed many many time here, do not believe anything has changed.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I don't know much about them, but when we were about to start our process and checked the packages on the website, it didn't seem ok to me that in some packages they give you "guarantee of approval", when no matter what such guarantees doesn't exist for anyone. But at the same time you see in other packages (cheapest) they doesn't give any guarantee, maybe not putting the same effort to make it work.

 

I specifically checked the testimonials from Venezuelan people that used their service, all of them took over the estimated process time, which made me feel less confident about, so we preferred an immigration attorney.

Waste of money I feel.   They don't know anything. I used them and it's 800$ wasted.  And I only used them because they said they would pay the 420$ fee and I make payments in order to send the package out quicker.   But they refused to send my package until I paid the second installment.   Which equaled to the fee by the way.   I was like dang what was the point.  I could have waited till I had the money and saved the other fees as well.  Smh.  I'm ranting !!

Hardly sounds unreasonable?
