I applied for a visa through VisaHQ expecting for the visa approval process and return of my passport to be faster. Unfortunately, I was totally wrong in my assessment. It is cheaper and faster going directly to the embassy. My travel was due to family emergency and I pleaded with VisaHQ to expedite the process and was willing to pay additional cost for the service to no avail. The embassy approved my visa on the and returned it to VisaHQ on the 20th. My passport was not shipped till the 27th by VisaHQ. I had to reschedule my flight twice. I see no reason for their service. It is neither fast nor professional as you can’t get anyone on the phone. They will only communicate via email and still not very responsive. I regret deeply using their useless service. Stay Away!
