Which is faster, TLScontact or TT Services?
Both have the same catalogue average processing time. Most of the wait is the government's own processing, which neither provider controls.
Are TLScontact and TT Services official government services?
Both are private companies that run application centres for some governments under contract. Neither makes the visa decision — the government does.
Can either guarantee my visa?
