My husband and I are using rapid visa.so far a good experience with them, they are just checking our petition and supportive documents, so everything would be perfect,before they send it to USCIS. They answer all our questions we have. However when they were fillng the forms for us,they did not fill out everything correctly according to the information we have provided them, which kinda disapointed me.also they could be little bit faster:)but overall they are a help.

I also work in finance area and i hope i could get in US the same job as i have in my current country. I believe to be an accountant in the US, it takes to have a knowledge of GAAP standarts.

My wife and I used Rapid Visa prior to finding this site. No concerns. They did our I-130 petition and filed for us, but after that (and with the help of this website), we did everything on our own.

While it may seem daunting, you can ABSOLUTELY do this on your own. The wiki's and all associated information on the forums are sure to be of assistance.

What Accountancy Qualifications does he have.

A degree i Accounting is meaningless, what is his professional qualification?

I really would like to do it on my own, but it seems like alot. What websites are most helpful?

He graduated with a degree in Accounting and had been working in that capacity for sometime now.

I thought the same mate. It does seem like alot of work when you read the list. But if you break it down and do one thing at a time - the process is really not as complicated as it looks.
