Expertise
We have worked successfully with more than 650 customers over the last 18 months from Ukraine, Belarus, the Russian Federation and Poland. At the first meeting with our company we will estimate the probability in getting a visa and minimize your risk of a visa rejection by the Embassy.
When do you need specialist help?
You can apply for a visa to the United States of America personally, but you should understand the slightest mistake in the application form in documentation can lead to a refusal. Our visa specialist will help people who are applying for the first time, have been previously refused, or need to urgently apply for a visa to the USA. Choosing a company, you need to read the reviews about it, as there are often cases when specialists make mistakes in the applicant's profile. Therefore, a company must provide a completed questionnaire to the applicant for review.
The chance to get a visa depends on many factors – your income, official or unofficial employment, the presence of relatives, movable and immovable property, travel history, etc. The US Embassy considers each applicant as a potential immigrant and your task is to prove otherwise. A full package of documents will increase your chances for a positive answer.
Any inaccuracy or falsely indicated information can lead to refusal. To avoid refusal, call us and our specialists will provide detailed information on all the features of filing documents and passing an interview. We will help you arrange everything correctly.
