CitizenPath vs RapidVisa - Ever used it?

[WaterLeaf 200]

Hi all, I been checking out some 3rd party services like RapidVisa and saw there are a few posts about RapidVisa, but looks like they have a new competitor "CitizenPath".

 

Did anyone here ever use it?

 

It seems to have a lot of stuff there except for the K1 paperwork/I-129F and now they are offering a deal price because of the Labor Day Holiday. Does RapidVisa have such discount too?

Had anyone started to use any of these services after sending in the document alone, and then get help afterward?

Don’t be fooled that such services increase your chances of approval or that your approval will be quicker. The only “Rapid” thing about RapidVisa is the speed they charge your credit card. All they do is look through your paperwork before sending it to USCIS and may spot something that you might have missed. Plenty of people have been approved without the use of such companies. The paperwork is not difficult. All it involves is answering questions about you and your fiancé that you (should) already know the answer to. It’s not a Harvard entrance exam. Read through carefully and answer each question fully and you’ll be fine.

RapidVisa have screwed up quite a few cases of people on here and when they do they turn their back and walk away.

Do the application yourself. If you have a difficult case or serious issues that may hinder approval, hire a reputable immigration attorney.

 

All companies like rapid visa do is act as a middle man, which just gives more room for typos or errors or missed information.  save your money and use it to go visit your fiance.

@WaterLeaf I-129F is simple. You just provide an answer to simple questions such as: "What is you last name?", "What is your first name?", "what is your address?" and so on. You can do it yourself!

I used CitizenPath for my I-130 form. They're not a full service that boasts they'll stay with you for the full process, they are only form preparation service. I call them the "turbo tax" of immigration forms. They ask dummy proof questions and fill out the form for you. That's it. Are they worth the money? Well, it's your wallet, so your choice.

 

I did not use them for any subsequent forms. Not because they didn't do a good job, but I felt more comfortable and started doing them by myself. As others have said, the forms are relatively straight forward. Yes, some confusing points are bound to pop up, but this forum is 100% free and is filled with people who have successfully filed these forms, so I suggest using this resource instead. Once I discovered VJ I felt much more confident in filling out the forms on my own.

Better than these, by all accounts that I've heard, is Platinum Immigration Services:
