IVS a brand of GovAssist is not affiliated with any of the United States government agencies and does not represent any of the U.S. Embassies or Consulates. Our services include, but are not limited to, consulting and assistance throughout your visa or immigration and citizenship application. Keep in mind that the final decision on your visa application is made by the Consular Officer in the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

The exact duration of the visa process depends on several factors, including the capacity of the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in your country. IVS expedites many parts of the visa process and provides express appointment services to accelerate the procedure significantly. Our mission is to get you through the visa process from start to finish as fast as possible. For a more accurate understanding of the U.S. visa timeline, simply contact us, offer as much information regarding your situation as possible, and we will get back to you in no time.

We recommend you apply as soon as possible since the situation with Covid-19 is open to change. Your personal U.S. visa expert monitors the Embassy openings to help you book the first available interview date as soon as the Embassy reopens.

You may apply for a U.S. visa in another country and attend the interview at the Embassy or Consulate. That depends on your individual case related to the Embassy or Consulate where you want to apply and its policies regarding the third-country-nationals.

It depends on the situation. You might travel if you qualify for the National Interest Exception.

Even if you only need to transit the United States, you still need to apply for and obtain the C1 Transit visa or an ESTA. Keep in mind, as a transit visa holder, you must depart the U.S. within 29 days.

We offer consulting and assistance for the F1 Student visa. In order to apply, you need to be accepted to an educational institution in the U.S. and obtain your SEVIS ID.

We provide consulting and assistance for the B1 Business visa that is used for attending conferences, settling estates, and negotiating contracts. If you want to accept employment or work in the United States, our experts are here to offer all the info you need and get you started on the immigration process.

Since the B1 visa is a business tourist visa intended only for a temporary visit, you are not allowed to accept permanent employment or work in the United States. With this visa type, you’re only allowed to attend a conference, negotiate a contract, settle an estate, or consult with business associates in the U.S. If you wish to apply for a change of status, you will need to prove that you did not initially plan to find a job in the United States and that an unexpected opportunity came your way. This would mean that you will no longer be able to work in your home country and you’ll be required to apply for a different visa. In case you intend to work as a personal employee or domestic worker on a B1 visa, you will need to obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), also known as a work permit. It is required that your employer is either a U.S. citizen permanently residing abroad or an alien with nonimmigrant status, such as B, E, F, H, I, J, L, M O, P, or Q.

If you have completed the application form on our website, please provide us with the passport number, email address, and full name you used on the purchase.

You can contact us via email and send us information you want to change. We will make the necessary changes and update your application in the shortest time possible.

Please reach out to our Support Team via chat or email and describe your situation in detail. We will guide you towards the best visa option for your particular circumstances.

In case you don’t have a point of contact or you’re unsure where you are going to stay, you can provide information regarding the locations you plan to visit while in the United States. If you’re applying for a tourist visa and you’ve decided at which hotel you’re going to stay but you haven’t booked it yet, you can still use the location of that hotel on your application. For a student visa, use the address of the educational institution where you got accepted to study. If you are applying for a crewmember visa, you can input the information of the airport or port where you will make your transit.

We directly look for interview spots for you. We align with the Embassy and Consulate’s schedules and we help you book the next available interview date. In special circumstances, you may qualify for an expedited appointment and we help you arrange that as well. After we review and submit the application, the MRV fee needs to be paid in order to schedule the interview.

There is a possibility to schedule an expedited visa appointment in case of the following scenarios: You need to travel due to an immediate relative’s death, a grave illness, or a life-threatening accident that occurred in the United States. You’re required to provide the name, relationship, place, description of the situation, and contact information for the attending physician or funeral home. You or your minor child need urgent medical treatment. You are an applicant for a student or exchange visitor (F/M/J) visa and your I-20 or DS-2019 has an earlier date than the first available visa appointment. Getting an expedited appointment would enable you to travel to the United States before your course starts. You need to attend an urgent business meeting or conference that occurs within 10 days after the first available visa appointment. You need to make an unexpected visit that is of significant cultural, political, journalistic, sporting, or economic importance within 10 days after the first available visa appointment. You are a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program country and your ESTA has been denied.

If you are up to 14 years of age or over 79 years of age, you qualify for a visa interview waiver. Apart from the age condition, under the Visa Interview Waiver Program certain other cases might not require a face-to-face interview at the Embassy or Consulate. For instance, your visa expired in the last 48 months or you want to renew the F1 Student visa.

In order to check when you can schedule an interview, you will have to log in to the embassy account.

If your visa expired in the last 48 months, you may qualify for the Visa Interview Waiver Program and not have to attend the Embassy interview. Instead, you will be required to send your documents to the U.S. Embassy via an authorized courier service. Once your case is reviewed by the Consular Officer, your documents, together with the U.S. visa, will be delivered back to you via the same courier service. Your personal visa expert helps you at every stage of your visa renewal application, which includes assistance with renewing your visa via an authorized courier.

Please reach out to our Support Team via chat or email. We provide you with alternative payment methods to help you get your U.S. visa in a timely manner.

Our service can only be paid online with a valid credit card enabled for international transactions. Please contact your bank and see if they can assist further by allowing you to apply for a card.

The initial payment is for our company’s consulting and assistance service. It is our mission to help you get your U.S. visa fast, easy, and without having to worry about complicated government procedures. The MRV fee is not included in the price for our review, processing, support, and concierge services. It is a separate fee that you need to pay in order to schedule and attend your Embassy or Consulate interview. Your personal U.S. visa expert will offer support with all the information you need and help you schedule your interview on the first available date.

We provide a refund policy which is effective PRIOR to the submission of your travel document application. By making a purchase of services on this website, you agree and accept to be bound by the terms of this policy, as well as the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and any other applicable policy or term posted on the website.
