We strongly advise you to fill out the admission form on your own, without the assistance of a “visa consultant,” “visa agent,” or other facilitator.
If someone helps you, you should be present when your entry is prepared so that you can provide the correct answers to the questions and retain your unique confirmation number and a printout of your confirmation screen. It is extremely important that you retain the printout of your confirmation page and unique confirmation number.
It has been reported that dishonest visa facilitators help applicants with their applications, keep the printout of the confirmation page, and then demand further payment in return for the confirmation number. You won’t be able to use the online system that provides you with your entry status without these information. If someone agrees to hold onto this information for you, be cautious.
