Argo Visa Reviews 

I had a consultation with Officer Josef. I had mentioned my situation of previous 221(g) which i could not respond. And now I was going for consular processing for H-1B. His suggestion on how to think regarding my previous 221 (g) and for consular processing gave me confidence and clear direction.

I applied for an F1 visa to pursue a dual Master’s in Accounting and Finance on a scholarship but was denied under section 214(b), likely due to my I-130 immigrant petition and the fact that my parents and children are in the U.S., though legally. After the denial, I reached out to Argo and Lissa Anderson for guidance.

During our 45-minute call, Lissa provided expert analysis of my case and insight into the visa officer's reasoning behind the denial. Her role-play exercise felt so real that it even upset me a bit, but her emotional support and encouragement gave me the confidence to reapply at the same post just two weeks later, despite her honest assessment of my 50% chance of success.

During the second interview, I was questioned by the same officer. Instead of passively responding, I took the initiative and explained why I did not have immigrant intent, using the insights Lissa had shared. After 30-40 minutes of intense conversation, the officer smiled and approved my visa, telling me, "You prepared well this time." I replied, "You’re tough, but fair."

Argo’s advice was invaluable. I wish I had sought their help from the start—it would have saved me a lot of time, money, and emotional stress.

Tracy from the consult and Ben's and Crista's videos were paramount to giving me the confidence for a slightly complex case.

I was able to answer the questions and was prepared for the inevitable question that would have been asked pertinent to my case. Worth money!

Excellent and realy a worth advised from Swati
After 2 rejection my son was disturbed because he really want to do study in us
But the way counseling done by Swati he did his best
Worth investment for our kid

Very informative consultation from Argo visa! The ex-visa officers at Argo visa are excellent resource of understanding us visa process! My visa got approved because of their guidance.

While am was pretty convinced I had prepared well for my interview, I still had some aspects of my profile which I know where not that good. Just a meeting with Lisa helped build the confidence I needed to go for my interview. Am very grateful to Lisa and the entire Argo team.

I had a very rough profile after getting denied a b1/b2 visa and denied an F1 visa in June, watching their videos helped me alot and guided me through my decision making. I just got approved last week.

Argo have experienced professionals with a high success rate and positive client reviews. They offer personalised guidance and transparent pricing. An initial consultation helped me gain in understanding of what as lacking in the answers I was giving and what can be done during the interview. This gave me get a visa even after one refusal

I had prior B1/B2 refusal but this year I started watching Argo visa vidoes on youtube especially Ben's videos. And I got approved for both my J1 and B1/B2 visa. Thank you so much Ben. I used your advice of being a proactive applicant. I am also recommending you to all my friends

I was refused and with the help of Lissa Andersen I presented my case very well and it went so well. I want to thank her and express my gratitude. She made it happened for me.

Preparing for your visa interview is trickier when you’ve been through the process before but for a different type visa. Argo Visa simplified it for me, helped me structure my responses, and I got approved at first attempt!! Highly recommended and thank you for all your help!

I got my F1 visa rejected once. The situation for Iranian students is so difficult at the moment. But the mock interview with Lissa was great. It not only boosted my confidence, but strengthened my case. She gave me valuable comments on my case, what to say, how to say it, and I did as she told me and my visa got approved in the second interview. I can't thank Argo team enough. They were so prompt in responding to my emails. I had to reschedule since my interview time changed unexpectedly. They rescheduled within an hour. If you're applying for an F1 visa, know that consultation with Argo is money well spent. It's an investment in your future. The officer might not even give you more than a minute to talk. So, it's crucial how you start and build your case.

The whole experience was great, Lissa was patient and able to guide me on what to expect during the visa interview and since i had a prior refusal she pointed out what I needed to improve on. Definitely worth getting a consultation with Argo.

I had the opportunity to take Lissa Session twice at Argos and i cleared the interview after i refused one time

Argo Visa is the best option there is for you to get ready for the US Embassy interview! There is literally nothing like it! Argo Visa helped us (me and my wife) get our immigrant visa issued and without them, I don't think we could've done it. Don't think twice, get the right help for your visa interview! Don't listen to anyone giving you advice, look for the right help and I promise you, you won't regret it!

After 3 attempts i get my visa issued with the argo help. The strategy was clear and made sense to me. Thanks to magui, Ben and all the Team. You did a great job

Argo is doing a great job in helping applicants to understand the whole visa interview process and how we as can applicant should represent ourselves.

We had applied for B1/B2 visa and my consultation booked with Argo. Margaret was our consultant, she first started with understanding our profile and our intent to get the visa. Post which we did our 1st mock interview which was to test on what/how we spoke. Then we were given feedback on how we can trim down and make our answers more precise.

Margaret then took our second mock interview and we answered all the questions as she had guided in her feedback.

On the day of the interview we followed the same steps and got our visa approved!

Wow it was a wonderful experience with the former visa officer although the pricing waa bit higher but it is worth investing on the visa as I know the pain it causes later if the outcome doesn't come in your favor. I took one hour consultation for my upcoming B1 visa.
He fully took first 15 minutes to understand my situation as I had four prior f1 visa refusals. And then answered all my questionnaire.
He then suggested a strategy and advised how to highlight the positives in my case despite having a negative mark on earlier visas.
He then conducted a demo visa interview in last ten minutes.
I'm looking forward for my main visa interview. Im pretty sure I'm going to get my visa approved. I gained lot of confidence now.
No Doubt i would highly recommended argo and totally worth investing on your visa. I would say it's a privilege to meet the former visa officers and it's a wonderful platform and thanks to brain child behind this.

I just finished a session with a former US visa officer at Argo and want to share everything about it before I forget.

Long story short, it's worth it. I now understand what visa officers are looking for in me and how I can provide them with the information they're seeking.

Detailed Review:

I booked a premium consultation which lasted one hour, and everything was recorded, so you don't have to note down anything. I think the recording part was more important than I initially thought because there was so much useful information revealed in this session that noting everything down would have been a hassle.

It started off with an introduction; Lisa was my consultant, a former Visa Officer. I was very pleased to learn about her years of experience, not just working as an officer in different parts of the world but also training other visa officers.

I had prepared a list of questions for her, so I started off with that. She kindly allowed me to go through all of these questions one by one, and within 30 minutes, we were able to wrap up my questions.

Then we had the first mock interview. It wasn't just an act; I genuinely felt as though I was in that moment. She threw a few curveballs at me to see how I would react. Honestly, I was nervous, and it showed.

Once the interview was over, she dissected the interview and shared what went wrong and how I could improve. The most surprising part for me was realizing I was adding a lot of irrelevant information to my answers. She guided me on what visa officers are looking for in my responses and how I could strengthen them.

Then it was time for round two of the interview. This time, I was less nervous and performed much better.

After the interview, she again dissected it and shared where I had improved and what I could still work on.

We went over our one-hour mark, but she was kind enough to clear all of my questions towards the end.

I'll be honest, before this consultation, I felt the service was quite pricey, but now that it's done, I believe it probably saved me from getting rejected and saved months of waiting time.

Great advice from retired officers
