Who are the better visa agents to use in the United States? I will be working for a public university in the Kingdom. Which one has the most "wasta"? Thank you in advance.

I have decided to use ABriggs in Washington, based on the appearance and thoroughness of their website. I'm not sure how much "wasta" has to do with dealing with the agencies or the embassies.

Wasta isn't everything, it's the only thing.

i no longer recommend ABriggs as a visa agent. They are large and anonymous. It is impossible to talk to the same person twice. Their online chat is useless. They made a mistake and charged me twice for the same visa, then never refunded the difference after promising they would. Finally, I finally requested a full refund before I actually handed them any paperwork.

I am looking into Diran Visa Services now. They seem to give personalized and precise information, although they are a bit pricier than the other agents...
