“No help provided whatsoever. Information provided to me was completely false. Finally i had to take charge and resolve the issue myself which was much easier than projected by Visa HQ team. Visa HQ team cost us cancellation of flight and major embarrassment in front of customer. We were at risk of escalation from customer to senior management and all VISA HQ team had to say is they are not getting any co-operation from the immigration of New Zealand but when i called the immigration team was extremely helpful and also gave me email id of the visa officer working on my file, sending him the email helped process the visa and the so called VISA HQ team could not even get proper updates from the immigration of New Zealand. The space is this column will fall short if i have to explain horrendous experience given by Visa HQ team.”

“Post application submission, the service was very poor. There was no follow up. When I requested an update, I was told to call the visa center myself. I was left wondering why I even pay a fee to VisaHQ if i'm supposed to do all the follow up myself. Will not be using the service again.”

“Total waste of time and money. Let me explain why: 1. In case with the USA visa the role of VisaHQ is minimal. I could have filled in the form myself online but thought VisaHQ has the capacity to submit my application on their own. In fact VisaHQ did not add any value and simply forwarded my data onwards 2. I would fill in the application in one go while VisaHQ was very slow to process my application 3. When I asked for a sooner appointment at the embassy I was told there is no need since it usually takes around 5 business day. I told VisaHQ that I encountered a problem with TAL (Technology Alert List) previously so I expect my process to take much longer. The timing was bad for me since I didn't have a new GNIB card but did already have a GNIB passport stamp to prove my residency till 2020. I was ready to take the risk and wanted to go to the US embassy earlier and with no GNIB card rather than later and with it. I was assured going later is the best option. As a result everything happened the way I expected - I was put through TAL processing and I am not going to get my visa on time. This is exactly what I warned VisaHQ about but my concerns were ignored. 4. After the visa interview I updated VisaHQ about the situation but nobody could expedite the process Overall I feel there would be a higher chance for me to get my visa on time if I didn't engage VisaHQ at all. Besides this cost extra money and didn't add any value”

“Total utter scam, they want $100 dollars as a consultation fee. I called to get clarification on an item on their web page and the representative kept saying we need to pay money to talk to them. I told him I only wanted clarification on the web site and the documents being asked for and the resentative kept saying he can only answer questions after we pay him $100. I then asked if the process issues a visa and he said, no we only consultee. After reviewing the web site, no where does it say they do not issue visa's, the web page eludes to this but does not say it. If this is legitimate why do they hide the fact that its only a consultation service and will not clarify their own web site?”

Hi Farheen, Thanks for sharing your feedback about VisaHQ. First, I would like sincerely apologize for any problems you've had during the application process. Upon looking into your order, it appears that you are planning a leisure trip and were advised to submit a tourist visa application. Since an invitation letter, necessary for a business visa, was not supplied, our team went ahead with the agreed-upon tourist visa. Again, my apologies for any confusion that marred your experience with VisaHQ.

“The worst visa agency I’ve ever experienced. Lack of professionalism, delaying my documents for two weeks for submitting by Singapore embassy. I travel the world for past 10 years and never had a problem with visas. Have to notice lady named Maria - her absence of knowledge documentation impressed me the most. Because of VisaHQ I didnt get visa in time, and didn’t make it as I planned for my work trip. I will definitely tell all my friends from cruise ships (Princess, Oceania, Celebrity, Holland America Line and Regent Seven Seas) NEVER EVER use VisaHQ.”

Hi Olena, Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. I would like to sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had with VisaHQ. I would, however, like to remind you that our team has no control over processing once the application arrives at the embassy. In this case, the embassy returned the application twice and the holiday period delayed processing, through no fault of ours. Several members of the VisaHQ staff spent a workday trying to expedite your visa, but again, we cannot control processing times. In looking into your situation, I see that Gary spoke to your husband and explained what occurred. I hope you will give VisaHQ a chance again in the future, as our team has tried to assist you in every possible way. Safe travels, Rebekah @ VisaHQ

“I have used VisaHQ in the past and been extremely happy however this time I did not have the same experience. I had requested a multiple entry visa for China as I was meant to be travelling out of the country during my vacation for a tour. I was issued a single entry visa and so have lost a considerable amount of money on this. While I appreciate that this is up to the discretion of the embassy, I have since found out that other documents should have been provided in order to get a multiple entry which I was not asked for. When I explained this to Julie the response was ‘you can use this one and then apply for a new one’. That doesn’t really help in my current situation which I explained.”

“It took VisaHQ over 16 hours to submit my visa to the Indian government. I ended up having to miss my flight because I didn’t get my visa in time. One person I spoke to at VisaHQ was nice and kind of helpful but the man I spoke to on the phone was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Overall, I will probably never use VisaHQ again. I could have just submitted my visa to the Indian government myself for way less money and would have gotten it in time.”

“Hello Account Name: Rose Brasher I am a recent customer with VisaHQ, and I have had a terrible and expensive experience. From unexpected expenses to miscommunication to bent and irreparably damaged documents (MA diploma), it has been negative since I first clicked on the pay now option. Authenticated documents: MA diploma, State background check Step 1: Pay $79.00 X 2(documents) = $158.00 for document authentication processing (VISHQ processing fees) Step 2: Pay $8.00 X 2(documents) = $16.00 for processing at US State Department Step 3: Pay $74 for one day shipping (Fedex fees). Originally quoted for $50 (agreed to paying this price before processing but had to pay an unexpected $24 more.) Unexpected Total: $251 (agreed to pay $227 originally) Estimated processing date October 5, 2018 (Their message: The documents should be ready on 10/05/2018) Step 4: Contact VisaHQ via email to inquire about the whereabouts of my parcel. VisaHQ replied with message stating that my inquiry would be addressed the following Monday (originally emailed them on Saturday October 6th) Step 5: Asked about why documents were taking so long and inquired if it could be sent to be further authenticated at the Chinese Embassy since it was taking so long. (said yes it could be done but i would have to pay $124 additionally) Step 6: Ignore email because ridiculous to ask to pay $124 after already paying $251 and not yet receiving my overdue documents. Step 7: Wait several days and call to inquire as to why I had still not received my parcel. Informed that my documents were currently at the embassy and that I need to pay $25 for embassy fees and pay $99 for VisaHQ processing fees BEFORE they would ship my documents back to me. Step 8: Reluctantly and furiously pay the $124 total in unexpected fees (was going to mail to embassy for FREE). Step 9: After paying a grand total of $375 I wait 15 DAYS (order placed and shipped October 1 and received October 16) before finally receiving my notarized documents. Step 10: Inspect documents. Background check was fine. MA diploma was FOLDED IN HALF with a crease that cannot be removed. It was my original diploma and can likely not be replaced. Step 11: Recap terrible experience in comment section of website... NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!! You think you pay for convenience and for bypassing the mailing processing times, but in the end you pay $375 for something that would have taken the same amount of processing time for free.”
