Best Immigration online service

[Steve & Erma 33]

So I am new here and I did try to search but was unable to find my answer. I am on a budget and am looking for which Online Immigration Service is the best. I know you have your recommended ones under professional help but is there one that is better than the other. Also I found Simple Citizen and was wondering if anyone had good dealings with them.

 

Thank you in advance for any help provided.

Why do you think you need an immigration 'service'?   It is no less work for you, nor is it faster.

If you lack the thoroughness or the time to complete immigration petitions, consider a service.

Platinum (recommended on this site) has a stellar reputation.

If you are on a budget, and your case is not very complicated, the best service for assistance is VJ.  If you feel more comfortable with having someone else fill out the forms, then as @TBoneTX mentioned you can look at the recommended service.  Keep in mind, even when using a service or a lawyer, the applicant/petitioner should still be very vigilant at reviewing any documents that will be submitted on behalf of the petitioner. 

 

Good Luck!

@Steve B, VJ is a great place for DIY, but @TBoneTX just gave you great advice.

Accepted or approved?   Accepted is easy - just mail the correct version of the forms with the correct payment, even if they are full of mistakes.  As far as I am aware, 100% get NOA1.  If the guarantee is 100% no RFEs or 100% approval, then maybe it's worth something.

Exactly.  There is no legal way to guarantee approval.

 

I'm sure the 'accepted' guarantee refers to an initial rejection of the petition at the lockbox - nothing more.

I used their service and I followed their instructions to the T and I didnt get any RFEs and my i130 was approved. So im just passing it on to help the next person. I liked them so much that I even filed my i864 with them. Its really straightforward and easy to understand.

What visa are you seeking? Providing that information will allow members to share specific information and you can judge from there whether you can manage yourself or take TBoneTX’s advice. Honestly, you can save yourself a lot of cash and DIY it. We’ve successfully petitioned 4 separate cases for citizenship and immigration ourselves.

That doesn't really answer the question.  Do they guarantee acceptance or do they guarantee approval?

Right, they cannot really guarantee anything.  They guarantee to refund their own fees, and that's it.
