Visa Agents outside GZ consulate helpful???

[giddyup888]

Hi All

Just a quick question, how many of you actually used visa agents outside the gz consulate and succeeded on the visa process. I am trying to understand if there is any value added using those visa agents, has anyone had any luck hiring those visa agent to process the K-3 or CR-1 related Visa? any recommandations if i am planing to use one?

 

This reason i am asking is that our cr1 visa is getting closer to complete, and i like to be sure that we get our cr1 in the first try. separation is too painful, and i am clost to have permanent severe depression.

 

many thanks

My SO used a visa service located on the 2nd floor of the Shamian Hotel when she needed some help. I would be real wary of someone on the street...

My Yang hired a service located near the Embassy. Speaking strictly from our experience, I dont think they did much that we could not do on our own. But this particular company does not charge you unless you get your visa.

Best Wishes

Hi

any idea how much is the reasonable price for those service, I have asked a couple agents today. they charge between 2000 RMB to 2500 US$.. why such a huge gap in their service charges, this brings me a lot of doubt in the service that those services provide... any idea what's the reasonable charge for those service?

 

thanks

My SO just needed a little fine tuning of some documents. They charged by how much work they did, I think it was about 500 RMB. I paid $1400 to have the entire K-1 done here by an attorney so $2500 is ridiculous. You can find info on GZ attorneys here somewhere, there is a list.

My wife used one to make sure that the P-3 was done complete and with no problems. Luckily Dean was there and looked at it before she sent it in. He found a few major mistakes that might have caused some serious problems. I think that she paid, or rather I did, around 400RMB.

My understanding is that there is a US attorney who works within view of the consulate. He sometimes frequents this forum under the name "king". You could PM him if you want some help.

You really need to be careful. My SO was worried we would have trouble getting a K2 for her adopted daughter. She checked out a lawyer in GZ and was told she needs to reside together for three years to qualify as her child. They were going to charge her $2,000. I did some research in the INA and found the definition of an adopted child is two years of residing together. I made a visit to the lawyer and told him we didn't need his services. We lost our 500RMB retainer. My SO received her visa with no problem.

YEAH, I CAN'T RE-ENFORCE THIS ENOUGH!!! IF YOU HAVE A VISA PROBLEM ----DON'T TRUST A STRANGER ON THE STREET!!!!!!!!!!!

 

TALK TO A VISA ATTORNEY LICENCED TO PRACTICE IN US FEDERAL COURT!!!!!

 

NOT SOME GREASE BALL....

 

......... WE HAVE A LIST OF THOSE PEOPLE HERE, BUT REMEMBER, KING IS, IN MY OPINION, AFTER READING HIS POSTS HERE AT CFL, ON THE TOP OF THE LIST:

 

..... AND HE IS RIGHT THERE ON THE ISLAND, CLOSE TO THE CONSULATE!!!

 

SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH FOR A REAL ATTORNEY, ONE WHO MIGHT ACTULLY SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS IN GZ ~!!

My SO wonted them to look over the paper work... so we let them.. I had all my ducks in a row and new it.... after I got through telling them I didn't need the stuff they thought I did (this took several times--each time louder) they finally said everthing looked fine..... no charge.

 

Everything was fine---she is here now...
