- Step 01

We review the processing route and provide a breakdown of the AGS service fee, government fees, shipping, and required add-ons. After you approve and pay the invoice, we send the exact next steps.

We Prepare, Submit, and Track
After we receive the required documents, we prepare the submission, coordinate approved add-ons, submit through the appropriate authority, track the order, and return the completed documents with tracking.
Government processing times depend on the authority, document type, submission method, and current workload. Estimated timing is provided after case review.
