FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Helpful answers before you begin
Is the first conversation free?
Yes. You can briefly share your situation and learn what the next step may look like. Professional services are quoted based on the type of process and the support you need.
What is the DS-160 form?
It is the online application for a U.S. nonimmigrant visa, completed before the consular interview. We guide you through the form so your information is accurate and consistent.
Can you help if my visa was previously denied?
We can review the information from your previous process, identify areas that may need clarification, and help you prepare for a new application. A prior denial does not determine the outcome of a future application.
Does interview preparation include practice questions?
Yes. Preparation includes common questions related to your application, a review of the information you submitted, and guidance to help you answer clearly and consistently.
Does BVS guarantee visa approval?
What I do guarantee is that you will be well prepared and have your information in order. The final decision belongs to the consular authority.
