I use them too. I assume that we don’t have to do it through them. I am very happy with them so far as we changed the petition a few times before they accepted it. I gave me a little confidence since I would have had RFEs without their input. 

 

If you do the DS-160 through them, it is already done since they have the info already in the proper form. I guess I will see when I get to that point. I may just stick with them if they get me through this part without an RFE. 

 

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

I "was" going to use someone, maybe it was rapid visa, and I paid for the DIY Kit, which was a big waste of money!  I found out I could actually download it all for free from USCIS, including instructions.  What was as a big deal was the the visa place, some of their forms were out dated, and had I am dumb enough to use them, they would have been denied!  Always check the form dates for the latest issue.!!  My Fiancee  has a niece who owns a visa processing business in the Philippines, and she put a lot together and mailed the package to me, all I needed to do was insert my certificates, etc.  Very organized and complete,  so no RFE!

You should be good to go like me with no problems since they will not let us proceed until it meets there specs
