Sherpa streamlined our visas for Egypt

Sherpa streamlined our visas for Egypt. The application said various versions of a photo of one of our passports were unclear when they weren't and Sherpa did something to make one acceptable. Friends have needed 7 attempts to have an 'acceptable ' photo

Rapid Reassurance

I had a rapid response from the Sherpa Team when I enquired if a flight change required me to resubmit. They reassured me that my original submission was still valid

NOT APPROVED THE FIRST TIME

NOT APPROVED THE FIRST TIME
I was not approved for a UK Visa, and I didn't realize that until the next day. The cause of the disapproval wasn't made clear. The only thing I could figure out was that my US passport photo was a little too light. But it is the only one I have. I resubmitted and it got approved. I was worried my work trip would need to be cancelled.

Language needs to be clearer

Language needs to be clearer.

All passengers landing in England need to complete ETA. ETA REQUIRED FOR ALL PASSENGER; visiting or traveling through to final destination (another country.

Secondly photos required were accepted initially by system only to be rejected later by reviewer (fingers holding passport for photo). Wasted time, greater frustration.

Took too long for approval, missed flight. We’re TSA PreApproved, GOES (Global Online Entry Systems) approved. With A.I. advancements, travel clearances AA embedded within AA profiles the whole process would take minutes… not hours.

Other passengers in same “bind” used a different application and were being approved within 15-20 minutes.
