Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get my application reviewed?

Ideally 2-4 weeks before your consulate appointment. This gives you time to fix any issues we identify and get a follow-up review (if you choose Standard or Premium). Don't wait until the day before—some corrections take time to obtain (new apostilles, updated bank statements, etc.).

What if I've already been rejected?

We can review your previous application and the rejection notice to identify what went wrong. We'll help you understand what needs to be fixed before reapplying. Many rejections are due to simple documentation errors that are easily correctable.

Do you guarantee approval?

No one can guarantee visa approval—the final decision is made by the Portuguese consulate. However, our reviewed applications have a 95%+ approval rate because we catch the common errors that lead to rejections. If you don't meet the basic eligibility requirements (income, remote work, etc.), a review won't help.

Who performs the review?

Reviews are performed by immigration lawyers and visa specialists who have extensive experience with Portuguese visa applications. Many of our reviewers have worked with hundreds of D8 visa cases and are familiar with the specific requirements of different Portuguese consulates in the US.

How detailed is the feedback?

Very detailed. You'll receive a written report (5-10 pages typically) with document-by-document feedback, specific errors highlighted, recommendations for corrections, and a summary of strengths and weaknesses. Premium tier includes a 30-minute video consultation to walk through the feedback.

Can I get a review if I'm using a different service for document prep?

Yes, absolutely. Many clients use our review service as a "second set of eyes" even if they've prepared documents elsewhere or done it themselves. We'll review whatever you submit, regardless of who prepared it.

What consulates do you cover?

We cover all Portuguese consulates in the United States: Washington DC, San Francisco, Newark, New York, and Boston. Each consulate has slightly different requirements and processes—our reviewers are familiar with the nuances of each location.

Don't Risk a Rejection

Get expert eyes on your D8 visa application before you submit. Catch errors now, not after months of waiting.
