Rapid visa is like a lot of other agencies. They don't have any actual lawyer involved though to my understanding. Regardless, they just send you questionaire to fill out, all the same information asked for on the forms, then they just put the info you gave into the form... Really you can save yourself the, $400-500 or whatever it is they may charge and just compile the forms yourself using the guides here on VJ.

I was gonna do that but filling the form has been really comfused to us. Some question that do not apply we don’t really know how to answer them. We are not sure if we should pit NA or just leave them blank

For some of these things, which some are a bit confusing, also a lot of times you yourself tend to probably "over think" it. Use the search bar here on VJ, top right corner, and search for the answers. Bet you'll find a lot of specific info.

 

I can almost guarantee, once a week at least, someone posts about using blank spaces of N/A. So you'll find probably a hundred search results.

So far I saw at least 4 rfes came even after using them... so nope I don't think so.

If you're going to pay someone, pay a lawyer.  An agency like that is not authorized to provide legal advice and you have no recourse if they mess up your case. 

 

That being said, most people can fill the forms on their own.

I did it myself too and see no reason to use any agency because my case is pretty straightforward..

Some posters on this forum have had their case messed up by them and when they do they walk away and basically say tough.

 

Your call, just so you know.

My fiancé did I-129F by himself. We are approved. There was a couple who had an unfortunate time with a lawyer. The couple received an RFE for tons of things and the VJer of the couple said that the lawyer (conveniently , may i add) forgot to send the documents with the petition when Naes asked him why did he miss out so many basic things.

 

And my thoughts are that RapidVisa is an unnecessary third party. I kinda think that with the current ridiculously terrible wait time, it's really best to do it yourself, make sure you have everything and avoid RFE.

Half the time on here that's what we see. Someone thought they did a good thing by hiring a lawyer and the lawyer ends up wasting more time than if they did it themselves. We have seen lawyers forget to add required documents, not respond to RFE's, and some just outright lied.

 

I always tell people if you have a straight forward case then do it yourself and save the money.

Don't forget. VJers are here to help you. If you have any questions at all about how we go about certain requirements, how we answer certain questions in the forms, what documents are needed to prove certain things, even how to make payment.

 

We are here to help eachother. All you need is to make some time and have some patience to complete the petition.

As a few people have said, you'll get a lot of help from people and previous posts (and the guides) on this forum. It's also worth searching YouTube for video help - I found quite a few videos of people talking through how to fill in certain forms. Just be VERY CAREFUL that you're following a video for the right version/edition of the forms you'll be filing!

One of the hot topic threads is currently on VJ is because the lawyer sent in a copy of a marriage certificate instead of the original.

 

So I agree if your case is straight forward just carefully go through the paperwork and use the guides and Visa Journey to assist you. We never hired a lawyer and never received a rfe or had any hold ups.  I had absolutely no immigration knowledge before my husband and I started this process.

I used Rapid Visa and to me it was worth every penny I spent. The website was easy to use I didn't have to waste time researching anything they reviewed all my paperwork and helped my fiancee file DS160 over the phone. To me my time is worth more than the 500 I spent on their service. If you need any details just pm me.
