During the process, getting my documents prepared and loaded was simple. The wait to get my documents verified took about 45 minutes but keep in mind you're not the only one doing this. After going into the video chat it takes about 10 minutes and you done have to leave home. You'll be met with professional representatives to walk you through everything and then you're done. Really nice and thank you.
My agent ola was wonder. Not only was he quick but he was very patient, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and made the experience smoother than I thought it would be.
