Hello All: Travisa Houston provided professional services to me and my facily for runciating my Indian Citizenship and obtaining Visa. They have extensive experience dealing with Indian Consulate to get the best benefit for the applicants. Here in this regard I have to appreciate one of the Travisa Official Ms. Sara who is in the processing unit. Ms. Sara has excellent experience in Indian Consulate regulations and her guidance is excellent. Lot of times the respective Visa Service centers raises lot of questions requirements and lack the skill to provide advise to over come such. Ms. Sara not only explains the requirements and also guides the applicants in an excellent and understandable way what to be provided. That skill is required as Consular requirements from time to time change and at times the applicants miss some thing. Ms. Sara explains exactly and she will also acknowledge the receipt of the same and assures us that the requirements are received and we get our benefit sought. At the call center one Mr. Mohammad is also very co-operative and not wasting time connects to the respective processing unit. My sincere feeling is any one who are about to seek services from Travisa, please do not hesitate to tell the Call Center Executive that you want to talk to Ms. Sara. Overall I have extremely pleasant experience with Travisa and feel that they will excel much in their service. Rao Kommamuri read more

I am writing this review in reference to my Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) services through Travisa and the Indian Consulate in Houston. Both these agencies have more than exceeded our expectations. The ETA that was provided was met. From the start, Travisa provided me accurate information to submit the OCI application. As long as you follow their instructions on the website, you should be fine in getting the OCI card on time. Keep in mind that this process takes a good 4 months from start to finish. In our situation, as soon as the OCI cards were shipped from India, the Travisa customer service and especially the Houston Travisa office (some awesome folks such as CRYSTAL, Leo and the entire staff) were very helpful in trying to keep me posted with the most current update. At the end of the process, Crystal was extremely helpful in letting me know that match up at the consulate was done and the package was going to shipped out. As long as you follow their guidelines and expect the OCI cards per the ETA, you are in good hands with Travisa. I am so glad that the Indian Consulate/Embassy has handed over the Visa, OCI & PIO process to Travisa. They have a great attitude, professionalism, always courteous after calling them umpteen times and provided me with the best info. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND KUDOS TO CRYSTAL AND THE ENTIRE HOUSTON TRAVISA TEAM !! read more

This is a true story. I sent my visa application package on Wed 2/1, using FedEx Priority Overnight. It was delivered and received on Thu 2/2. I made a phone call to the Travisa office in Houston to explain my urgency. Of course the rep told me it would get processed usually in 5 days, that's something I was expecting to hear as it's on FAQ. But I got an email notice from Travisa in the morning on Mon 2/6, saying my visa was issued! I got my passport shipped back overnight and received on 2/7. This message is not telling you and does not guarantee that you can get your visa issued in 2 business days as long as you complete and prepare the package as my case. It should always depend on case by case basis. But what I would like to tell you is that Travisa's email notice was always prompt, and this is something you can trust. read more

Travisa took care of me when I needed a Visa for an international trip! Not only did they get they get the Visa process completed very quickly ... they were prompt in keeping me apprised of the status of my Visa application ... from receiving the documents to providing the FedEx tracking info for the return of my Passport and Visa. Israel Gonzalez handled my transaction ... he was very professional, he took several of my phone calls when I had questions, and was patient to make sure I understood and was comfortable with completing all of the appropriate documents. I compare all companies to Apple when it was comes to customer service ... I would give Tavisa and Israel 5 Stars and they provided me Apple-Like customer service. read more

I sent in my application to get a PIO for my family. The whole process was very transparent, efficient and awesome. The tracking system on their website is class. The processing time on the website said: 15 days, it took them 2 days to complete the application processing. WOW! usually indian embassies and associated stuff take a long long time, i am glad they outsourced it to Travisa. Travisa is bound to change that reputation and rewrite the age old "slow indian emabassy" reputation. I am glad Travisa is here, i wish more indian processes would be outsourced ( Air India for example ) Travisa I am floored and very impressed with this service.Excellent! read more

I had applied for my daughter's visa where i was in the middle of changing the house. Initially i was bit worried about what will happen if the visa arrives after we shift our home. One of my collegue who applied for the visa got it in 3 weeks. I took faith in travisa and applied for the visa and did not expect it to be returned in atleast 3 weeks, but to my surprise the visa stamping was done and the passport was FedExed back to me in 6 working days.... and Travisa i would like to say you guys surpassed my expectation. And i got email alerts in every stage of the process. Keep up the good work team. Good luck. Thanks, Sathish read more

I had a very good experience with the Travisa Outsourcing company in getting the PIO card for my 1 month old daughter. we sent the application in mail on March 15th and we got the PIO card back on March 23rd. during that time, the website was updated promptly with the tracking status of the application. I believe, if you follow the process mentioned in the website and submit the application documents in that order, there shouldn't be much problem in getting the PIO card. appreciate the good work of the company and good luck in the future... read more

I've been extremely impressed with recent services provided by Travisa Houston. In the past few weeks we've had a family emergency where the processing of OCI cards had to take place very quickly in order to get my relatives to relocate to India. And Mr. Nathaniel Schiff, Assistant Manager, came through. Not only did he answer every one of my emails in a prompt manner but he and his team were able to ensure that the OCI cards were sent out a week before their estimated departure date. Many thanks Nate for superb service! Christine read more

I want to acknowledge and want the Travisa Houston Center management to know that I was very pleased with the quality of service provided to me and my family. In particular Mr. Charles Adedapo who was very helpful, informative, prompt and professional in providing service to us. We would also like to mention Miss Maribel Torres who was equally good at executing her professional service. We sincerely appreciate the professional responsiveness and the way Travisa Houston Center conduct business is to our satisfaction. read more

The experience was awesome not only did I get my PIO card in 15 days but was updated by email throughout the process. Further their professionalism and courtesy was an absolute delight. Only wish they had customer service beyond office hours as there were times when you wished for to seek clarity and have to wait till next business day during which you have no choice but to stop working on your application. Hope they will cater to such service in future. Keep up the good work!!! Regards Anil Durvasula Plano, TX read more

I was extremely satisfied with the promptness and efficiency of this service. At first, I was apprehensive about the whole idea of filling out an online form and sending my passport by mail but it was quite safe. For anyone out there doubting, don't. What was even better was that I filled out the forms and sent the mail on Monday and received my visa on Friday of the same week! Excellent work! Thank you Travisa Houston team! read more

I applied for OCI after waiting along time. I had visa good until 2015. So I was hesitating to apply, but after hearing good benefits of OCI, I applied. The service provided by staff was great and fast. I got OCI in 75 days. I wish, you can accept passports in person, instead of sending by Fed Ex/UPS You can track by adding reliable staff member. You can do it now. Thanks for your help. RASIK SHAH read more

My Family and I are sincerely grateful to The Consulate General of India, Houston and Travisa Outsourcing for their compassionate response to my request for expedited procession of my PIO application because of the unexpected death of my father. I did not expect to get the application back so soon and was surprised at how quickly the application was processed after I made the request. Thanks once again! read more

I applied for my OCI card in February with Travisa. I must admit, I was very skeptical when I started the application process. But I was in for a very pleasant surprise. I was able to track my application throughout the process and everything was done in such a timely manner. I am very impressed with Travisa. Hats off to you all at Travisa for such a commendable job.
