Do not fall for this when searching for a UK Visa Application. It is not the official site and they charge 5x+ what it should actually. They are based in Dubai. It is a misleading scam masquerading as the official website. Plus then you have to worry about identity theft.

This platform is the winner
After having had very negative experiences with different online Providers who looked confident we were very happy to use your service. It is a little bit too time consuming to take the pictures but finally your response was very fast and constructive.

Overcharged with fraudulent website
This website is masquerading as an official UK government website, and overcharging for services. This website never gave me an ETA confirmation number, or any follow on email even after paying 10x the official website’s rate. DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

Visa Application Process
For the most part, the application process was seamless & straightforward. Your customer service regarding follow up and assistance is EXCELLENT!
Why I rated you only 3 stars was the passport photo part of the application. I think your requirements are too rigid as I feel my original submission did meet your requirements. Secondly your original email response, after I submitted the revised passport photo, was confusing as it provided a link asking me to re enter all info I had already provided.
That being said kudos as you allied me to simply email you a revised photo & your response confirmation both receipt & application approval based on resubmitted photo was excellent 👏
My suggestion: Make uploading a passport photo a little easier. 👍

Helpful service, but not entirely seamless
There are definitely positives here, especially in terms of how the process is structured and supported. However, I did experience a small gap between submitting my information and receiving confirmation that everything was moving forward. During that time, I wasn’t completely sure if anything was missing or if I needed to take further action. Once I received clarification, things progressed well and there were no further issues. So overall, a good experience, but there was a short period where communication could have been a bit clearer.

Full refund denied again
My appeal for a full refund it was denied a second time. I was told my application was already in “ an application request stage“ and therefore didn’t qualify for a full refund. How can an application be in any stage if it has not been submitted yet. The only thing submitted at that point was my payment. Obviously my mistake in sending my payment in midway through the application. ( as required by the app). I would advise anybody against using this service as they do not honor the policies they print.

Good overall, small delay in response
There was a slight delay when I reached out with a question, which slowed things down a bit. Once I got a reply, everything was handled properly and moved forward without issues.

I had trouble getting my pictures accepted at first. It frustrated me that the pictures had to be perfect. I re-submitted another set of shots and failed again. I think better and clearer examples of acceptable and unacceptable photos should be displayed.
What was very helpful was the patience of the Visa Team. They were very helpful and nice throughout the submission process and we got it done! Mahalo.
