@Transcom123 We’ve went through rapid visa as well.  I would use them only to check your documents. 

I have used this site the majority of the time and rapid is all but a DIY that check your forms for signatures and puts together your packet. 

Please don’t rely just on them. I had premium service and the site is also not embassy specific either. 

What you can get on this forum is priceless and definitely far more informative IMO. 

I will do our AOS ourselves after I discovered this site.  

I would definitely recommend the help here more than anywhere else plus it saves you the 400 dollars you’ll give to rapid to check your work.  

Good luck on your journey. 🎉👌

That’s entirely your call but I did pay for the service and they checked my documents. 
So they did check them and put them in a neat packet. 
However, I did not use them after finding this site. 
I looked into their AOS services and just couldn’t see spending 400 dollars for something I could have my family look over. 
I would say to save your money. 
The information on VJ is much better and accurate plus people that have attended your embassy are always here to help. 
They will always give you the right answer and not what you necessarily want to hear. 
The advice on this forum is solid. 
Maybe just have someone look over the forms for accuracy after you two finish. 
Rapid did not help us much but that’s entirely up to the two of you. 
But please don’t use them as your source of information as it is extremely “cookie cutter” and “one size fits all”.

Hope that helps and my honest opinion 

-Sarah and Ryan.

I’m really just as new as you. There are moderators on here with years of knowledge. Definitely let one of them answer this for you and their thoughts on attorneys. 
Once you and your fiancé start to interact on here then you’ll quickly find out the ones best to answer these questions. 
they have years of experience.

There may or may not be questions on it, but it doesn't jump out to me as a red flag.
