***STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY*** I made the grave mistake of using VSF Global to apply for my Portuguese Visa and it was a nightmare.

First of all, most of the employees at the NYC location a had my appointment at were unfriendly and rude.

Second, I gave them meticulous instructions on what address they were to send my passport to as I had recently moved. They did not follow these instructions, therefore my passport was sent to the wrong address. (Way to read, people!)

Then, when they sent a courier to the correct address, the courier also didn't follow instructions by not leaving the package at my door without a signature. Most of us have to work during the day and are unable to sit around waiting for mail. In turn, my passport was sent to a facility in Massachusetts, for some reason. It was supposed to go to New York.

Following this incident, was more than a month of me contacting someone - anyone - at VSF to help me get my passport back. No one responded to any of my messages until I got a lawyer friend involved. All of a sudden, I get a phone call from one of the employees claiming they’ve been trying to reach me for weeks on end with no success. No you didn’t! I have no phone or email records of anyone attempting to reach me. I even received an email from a supervisor claiming the same. Interesting how they are trying to convince me of this after I get an attorney involved.

Not once during that month-plus did anyone from VFS try to help me. I can’t emphasize enough: they are unprofessional, rude, and couldn’t care less about their customers.

If I could give a zero rating I would. If you have alternative choices for any visa needs, use them. Long story, but they represented a need for a Brazil visa; we filed; they took our money. E-visa site was a disaster. VFS customer service was almost non-existent. Brazil gov' quickly reversed announcement and delayed the need for a visa by three months; so we immediately asked for a refund (no longer needed a visa on our early visit dates). VFS kept the money & continued to process visa request that was no longer needed by us. The only time they communicated regularly was when we asked for the refund... then VFS said NO, NO, NO with no reasonable explanation. DO NOT USE THEM and share this with your fellow travelers

Worst visa application centre to submit any countries visa. The staff is always loitering around in the premises no one is working.

The timing of the center is 8am and the staff comes by 8:15 at their ease. And if we are late then they say sorry i cannot accept your case as the submission time has passed away. The staff will never accept your application in one go they keep on asking you for different documents each time you go.
Dead slow in taking cases.

Pathetic service, the staff is always clueless regarding how the consulate works.

Rather die than going again to the vfs!!!!

I had applied for Super Priority Visa for U.K. Also priority Lounge. I was given an appointment for 8:15 am to report at Express Tower office. I reported sharp at 8:15am. I was made to sit in the lounge. An officer collected my papers. A few minutes later a lady officer came in and said that while my biometrics will be taken, I may get passport next day. I agreed and waited in the lounge. Nothing happened till 10 am. Then I went out and inquired with the same lady as to why was I not being called since I am waiting since 8:15. When I complained strongly, I was called in at 10:15 & my biometrics were taken. It is obvious that the biometric machine was accepting information. Only it was not able to upload it.
It seems that the person in charge just forgot to call me and wasted my two hours.
Awful service.

SMS service is useless we paid 300 for 3 files but got no updates about passport curier tracking number. I had to call customer care for details than why they took 300 for sms service ?? And it took 4days to reach our passports and curier fee for that is RS 300 per passport which is for express delivery but delivered after 4 days of disodisp from embassy.
