A Briggs Passport & Visa Expeditors

I used A Briggs to get a VISA for my boss’ travel to China. I sent with plenty of time 14 working days and after 7 working days and getting nothing back I called to follow-​up and learned the VISA approval was being held up because I didn’t send the original green card. I was told by the A Briggs rep I only needed a notarized copy of it. They didn’t even know the status of the VISA until I called. They didn’t know the docs required to get a VISA needed and now with the trip less than 7 days away and the VISA needs 4 working days. The previous poor reviews are spot on. Find another company to use when getting a VISA. I am stuck as his passport and everything is in SFO a little to late to figure out another option.

I had a great experience with A Briggs. This was for a trip to China. Most of the work is done on their website which is very clear and informative. The online chat feature was a huge help as well. I went into the Seattle office to confirm all of my documents were in order and that too was a pleasant experience. Friendly, efficient, helpful and professional. Costs and fees were all clear. Highly recommended.

The information A Briggs has is different from the information on the Chinese Consulate’s website. In addition, their prices are RIDICULOUS and that’s with a substantial discount through my university. And it is absolutely ludicrous that they charge a fee to pay with a credit/​debit card.
A Briggs informed me after I applied online that they no longer enjoy a special relationship with the Chinese Consulate and therefore cannot guarantee my application will be processed in time, even if I pay the rush service fee. I gave them two stars because it arrived on time, but it was a fiasco thanks to the conflicting information.
I’m not sure how it is with other countries, but I will look elsewhere before using their services again. My colleague’s father is Chinese and scoffed at A Briggs’ prices. She accompanied me on my trip but her father had her apply for a visa through a travel agency in Chinatown. Hers came right away and at a third of the price.

I was so pleasantly surprised. I don’t know how A Briggs did it but I received my new passport in shorter time than imagined, in about one week start to finish! I had a few questions because of some special needs and whilst the office was closed I was able to reach an online representative for a chat. Badabing, badaboom, done and new passport in hand ready for travel. I will use them for visas and passports going forward and only wish I had known about A Briggs sooner. Kudos!

Unbelievable customer service! Fantastic! I applied, on my own, for a Visa to India which took me two months with no answers. After I gave up on the Visa, I reached out to Briggs and had my visa in hand in two weeks. Their follow-​up was very, very good!

I used A Briggs for a China visa and everything went smoothly. I will definitely use them for future visas!

I realized a week before an out-​of-​country trip that my passport had expired. I searched for passport expediter services online. I didn’t like the idea of having to ship my expired passport to a company in another state. I found A Briggs, which is local in Seattle where I live. I filled out all their documents online. I called them to schedule an appointment for drop-​off and was told that no appointment was necessary. I could walk in anytime, but to make sure I was there by 2pm since they close then. Strange hours, but ok, no problem. I drove downtown, paid $ 20 for parking and arrived at their reception desk at 1:45. They had already left for the day! What?! I was told that I could come back another time. No way! If they are flaky enough to not maintain their stated business hours then I’m not trusting them with a time-​sensitive task. I asked to be reimbursed for parking and was told no. I took my business elsewhere and had my passport in a few days.

I was recommended to use A Briggs by my travel agent. I needed a passport quick, after filling out all the forms and meeting with the rep at their office and handed everything over, I had my new passport in less than a week I was very surprised. They took care of everything and it was seamless! I don’t know what magic they worked on the back end but it was a perfect scenario for me and I would totally recommend their services in the future! Prices are pretty reasonable to have someone take care of the whole process, service is great. get er done!

10 stars at least!
I had less than a week to get a new passport. I hadn’t realized my old one expired and A Briggs saved me.
The customer service was stellar, the processing so fast, their website is top-​notch and so helpful and the view from their suite is incredible!
All round fantastic experience.

Hell. To. The. YES!
I’m a procrastinator. Big time. So when I didn’t get on the ball when my old passport expired, I missed opportunities to travel abroad for work. How dumb is that? So I found this expediters service and they not only do all of the work for you, they do it fast! Remember how much you hate waiting in line? Yeah, so do I. And this is why you pay these folks. They wait for you, they make the calls, they even ship you your passport if you wish.
Because I just live a few blocks from downtown, I decided to drive there and pop in for an in-​person visit. On the 41^st floor of a massive building downtown overlooking the lakes and The Sound, there’s a teeny office with just one person. And she rules! I handed over my old passport, a check for a new one, a check for their services, and some other docs that they ask you to fill out online. In less than 3 minutes I get to wipe my hands clean of the issue and in 7 – 10 business days I’ll have a brand spankin’ new passport. Just in time to go to New Zealand on vacation. I will forever recommend that people use A Briggs for help when they are busy bees like me.
SIDE NOTE: If you make the trip to the office you save upwards of $ 60-​$ 80 in shipping and handling fees!

I needed a passport badly. I had put off getting one until the very last moment.
I chose to use A Briggs Passport Expeditors as my service because I could drop off my application in person instead of having to overnight and pay even more than I was already paying.
They have a great informative website with an online chat tool and a status look-​up. Plus my phone call was answered by a real person! The instructions they give you are very thorough as well and I ended up actually having too many things with me!
When I purchased the service using the website I chose the 5 – 7 day service. I turned in my application on Monday after noon and had my passport on that same Friday! There is a handy tracking service on their website as well that kept me up to date about the status of my passport.
