travelone.net - supposedly they can guarantee a tourist visa

Is this possible? How can any agency guarantee a tourist visa to the US? . . . They have offices in Cartagena and said this to my wife's friend . . . She's ready to drop a nice chunk of change for their services - I asked her what is the company's policy if the visa is denied - she said there is none because they guarantee it . . . . I think its BullS*#t . . . Am I missing anything?

My guess... my guess is they can only guarantee to take your money.

Here's how these places work... It's really simple, they give everyone a money back guarantee to get a Visa and charge them a hefty fee. Then they fill out a few forms that you could easily do yourself. Those people that don't get the visas ask for their money back and eventually get it. Those that do get their visas are happy because they think this agency actually DID something. Other than helping guide a person through the process, these agencies add virtually no value.

Little travel experience? For people with little travel experience it may be good to take the services of a travel agency. Very often people loose their chance og getting their visa due to a very silly mistakes.

The travel agencies are also aware of the more frequent causes of rejection and all the little things you can do and add to get your chances of getting it higher. However no travel agency can guarantee a visa.

Rona... please reread the above post at least three times-then act accordingly.

P.S. There also some good deals in investing in Nigerian bank accounts.

lol . . . . . . I figured as much . . . but you wouldn't believe how convinced my wife's friend was when she first told us about it. Of course I tell her that NOBODY can guarantee a visa but she wasn't hearing it . . . its like some people WANT to be taken advantage of

They should have been around a few years ago when a past Colombian President was denied a U.S. tourist visa.
