I paid My Visa Source $4,000 to assist me with a spousal visa. I am writing to you at the conclusion of this process to say that this "law firm" will sabotage your application with incompetence and indifference, and even my lawyer — one of four that I've had over the past 2.5 years — said so as well. I started with a consultation that went well. I was assigned to a lawyer named Monica. She affirmed that she had all the documents she needed from me, and I never heard from her again. When I called, I got another lawyer instead, named Pavel. He was my lawyer now. No one told me, and he was unresponsive. (Bizarrely, Monica is still listed on the My Visa Source website even though she hasn't worked there for two-plus years.) I thought I had paid for a lawyer, but really I mostly worked with a case manager, who asked me that same questions that were on the I-130 application and then copy/pasted my answers incorrectly into a PDF. I received many documents with unfathomable errors: my name misspelled and my address listed in a state where I've never even visited, among other problems. When I had a question for the lawyer, it would go unanswered for weeks at a time. This stretched on for months — literally months. I have saved every piece of correspondence and every failed "draft" of our application. Afterward, Pavel called me on his personal cellphone to apologize. I have contemporaneous notes on this. I have his number in my call log. He told me that My Visa Source rips people off charging them for "expedited" filings that were guaranteed to be rejected. He said that he had 380 clients, with 9 onboarded every week. Is this true? Was he covering up for his own incompetence? I don't know. Conceivably both questions can be answered with yes. (Pavel no longer works with My Visa Source.) I wrote a negative Google review at the time that Pavel encouraged me to leave up. Natasha, then the Head of Legal at My Visa Source at the time, encouraged me to take it down. She said she'd assign me to a senior lawyer instead. Because my ultimate goal was to keep my case on track and get the visa, not pick fights, I agreed. (Natasha no longer works with My Visa Source.) My new lawyer, my third, was named Raquel. I didn't talk to her much because I was waiting for USCIS to approve my wife's I-130. When that happened, we talked a bit. I don't have many complaints about her, although, as before, she said she'd do something for me — transfer my wife's case to another embassy — and never did, but I eventually did it myself, and it was easy. (Raquel no longer works with My Visa Source.) Now when I said "sabotage your application," I mean it. My wife was from a country that President Trump subsequently added to his travel ban. And then Trump removed the exemption for spousal visas entirely — that went into effect on January 1, 2026, and my wife's interview at the embassy finally occurred on January 6, 2026. Let me remind you that My Visa Source wasted LITERALLY MONTHS just on filing the I-130 and did so incompetently. Yet, miraculously, there was a path forward for my wife to get the visa. And Ken, my fourth lawyer at My Visa Source, nor anyone else at the first, never said a word to me about it. No one asked me any questions about whether my wife could explore another exemption to the travel ban. My wife and I had to figure all that out ourselves. My Visa Source delayed our case to the point where we were facing absolute despair about never living with together for at least another three years, and to dig us out of the mess, we were on our own. My wife got the visa in spite of My Visa Source, not because of My Visa Source, and they charged me $4,000 for the "effort." Do not give this firm a cent.

I submitted every required document to the SP team and Wesley Green for a spousal sponsorship review in September. Nearly four months later, the application is still “under pending attorney review and/or team review” There has been no proactive follow-up or meaningful action from the firm. Throughout this entire period, all follow-ups were initiated by me, often every one to two weeks. Despite repeated requests for updates, the file remains pending with no clear explanation or progress. On multiple occasions, I was asked to resubmit the same documents that had already been provided, further demonstrating poor file management and lack of attention to our case. This firm has also been aware since June of this year that my wife is pregnant and that this case is time-sensitive. Despite this knowledge, and with my wife due to give birth on January 2, 2026, just days away, our application was left sitting "under review". As a result of these delays, time-sensitive documents expired, forcing us to spend additional time and money to reissue them. Facing the birth of our child with our immigration status still unresolved is an overwhelming and entirely avoidable situation. This firm accepted our payment a year prior to the case date, yet failed to meet basic professional responsibilities during one of the most critical moments of our lives. If your case is urgent or time-sensitive, I'd recommend avoid this firm much as possible.

I am the candidate involved in an LMIA application that was handled by this firm, and unfortunately my experience was extremely negative. Due to incorrect strategy and poor legal guidance provided to the employer, the LMIA application was refused. Critical risks were either overlooked or dismissed, despite repeated concerns being raised in writing. The advice given did not properly reflect the company’s actual situation, which directly contributed to the refusal. Communication was another major issue. Despite multiple follow-up emails, the firm failed to provide timely responses or meaningful support at a critical stage of the process. This was especially troubling given that substantial legal fees had already been paid. All communications and payments are fully documented. This situation has had a serious personal and professional impact on me, as my relocation and career plans were directly affected by these failures. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution others to carefully reconsider before engaging this firm.

MVS is a SCAM. We did our E 2 with them and it was a disaster. They misrepresent themselves. As soon as they get your money ( over 15k US for E2) you realize that something is wrong with them . They become tough to get a hold of , super slow with everything, messy filling out forms . Terrible. They don't retain staff . US lawyers kept changing - Monica, Pavel , Raquel the most recent Ken . Noone stays there for long. Beware of their sales person Angelia Dow - she is a fairy story teller that would sell you a "hole in the wall". Do yourself a favor and find a reputable company. DO NOT BELIEVE their 5 star google reviews- most of them are fake . Do your research on them on other platforms.

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM PROBABLY PAY FOR GOOD REVIEWS - THEY JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY. I honestly cannot express how unbelievably awful my experience with this company has been. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone considering them, it would be run in the opposite direction. My experience has been a nightmare. I paid $3000 USD in 2022, and in my opinion, that money may as well have been set on fire. Three years later and I have received nothing of value - no communication, no progress, no actual support. Just silence, excuses, and endless “your case has been handed over again” messages that lead absolutely nowhere. From my point of view, the way they operate feels completely chaotic and utterly useless. Every time I’ve tried to get answers, I’ve been met with delays, confusion, or just nothing. It is genuinely unbelievable how little has been done. I honestly cannot understand how reviews are so positive. It feels totally disconnected from the reality I’ve dealt with for YEARS. At this point, I’m exhausted. I feel misled. I feel ignored. And I feel like I’ve wasted thousands of dollars on a service that has given me absolutely nothing in return. Please - learn from my experience. Don’t even consider using them. I wish someone had warned me this harshly, because it would have saved me stress, disappointment, and wasted money.

Perhaps, I could have bought a brand new car or have put this amount as down payment on a small house. But what I am sure about, is that if you engage My Visa Source (MVS), this amount will not get you a business permit or a work permit or permanent residency. Allow me to explain, My wife and I are based in Singapore and we hired MVS to apply for a work permit and business permit. During negotiations, MVS offered us the expertise of their business team who would guide us through the setting up of our business. They further explained to us that for a “heavily discounted” price, MVS could apply for permanent residency for both my wife and I as well. However, we have to pay upfront for the permanent residency application together with their charges for the work permit and business permit. If I engaged MVS separately for permanent residency, after receiving the business permit and work permit, MVS would charge us almost double. Faced with paying more money at a later time, we agreed. In June 2022, we paid a grand total of USD$15500 (approximately $21500 Canadian Dollars) for one work permit for my wife, a business permit for myself and two permanent residency applications for both of us. Firstly, there was ZERO business support. After taking our money, MVS casually explained that they are immigration lawyers and that we would need to seek the advice of a business consultancy for business related queries. We were not happy about this, but we needed to have the business set up properly as it was to be our rice bowl in Canada. The first step of the process for obtaining a business permit is a labour market impact assessement (LMIA) which had to be submitted to ESDC. I couldn’t fathom how I paid this much money to MVS for them to get even basic information wrong. They put some other company name in their email. I am the main applicant. MVS took part of my wife's name and part of my name and submitted some hybrid name in their emails to the authorities. When I pointed this out, they reassured me that the application number is correct. The identity of the company and the identity of the main applicant are the things you don't mess up in an application for a business permit. Moving forward, MVS submitted our LMIA application to ESDC on October 19, 2023. After submitting the LMIA application to ESDC, we were told to expect an interview by ESDC within 4 to 8 weeks. We did not hear from ESDC in that timeframe and we wrote to MVS. Oh it’s the holidays in Canada and there have been cases whereby ESDC approves the LMIA application without an interview, don’t worry. We should have been worried! ONE YEAR passed without a sound from ESDC and hardly a whisper from MVS. In January 2025, I had enough and demanded a refund from MVS. Like a cat on hot bricks, MVS wrote an email to ESDC demanding the status of our case. ESDC informed that our application was closed. MVS submitted the LMIA on October 19, 2023. ESDC closed our application on November 7, 2023. About three weeks from submission. What happened you wonder? After receiving the LMIA application from MVS, ESDC wrote to MVS: “We have attached a payment form as the one in the application is not eligible as is much of the application”. ESDC couldn’t read the entire LMIA application submitted by MVS. I can speculate that this could have been because of the file size and the use of inappropriate font colours in the LMIA application. MVS sent emails attempting to persuade ESDC to reopen our case file. I rightfully instructed MVS to return me my money and they refused. There is a saying, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Well, I did not pay peanuts. I have lodged a complaint with the Law Society of Ontario. I am presently in consultation with a lawyer and I intend to file a case in Court against MVS. If you have had a similar experience with MVS, you can take them to Court for negligence. However, do note that you have two years to file a civil matter in court.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My Visa Source sold me hope with polished promises, then delivered nothing but stress, debt, and disappointment. They presented themselves as experts who would “handle everything,” but instead I was strung along, misled, and drained of thousands of dollars with zero results. Their approach feels like entrapment: they hook you with reassuring words, take your money upfront, and when it’s clear they can’t deliver, they hide behind excuses, fine print, and talk of “non-billable hours.” There is no accountability, no transparency, and absolutely no compassion for the clients whose futures they are gambling with. I went to them seeking professional guidance and support for my family’s future. Instead, I was left feeling betrayed, used, and ripped off. Their practices are not just unprofessional—they are unethical. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, stay far away from My Visa Source. They will take your hard-earned savings and give you nothing in return.
