A gestoría presents the case. Docracy is the signed packet you hand them.
Tramitadores file. We sign I-9, offer, POA, reference, give you the official links, and save every PDF so you can reopen it — $10/month. Not a substitute for the trámite.
The problem
A gestoría de visa or tramitador is the right hire if you need someone to assemble and present the petition. They charge per case — often hundreds to thousands. It is the wrong hire if you already have that person (or an employer/lawyer) and you only need the extras signed and a place that says where each file goes.
The Docracy way
One Paid plan is the all-in-one package: what to do, official send-to links, I-9 and templates we already ship, constancia, cobro — and we save every file. Give the signed PDFs to your gestoría. We do not present at USCIS or the consulate.
How Docracy compares
- $10/month for the signed extras. MX gestorías we checked publish ~$900–$3,800 MXN for DS-160 / tourist help, plus the $185 USD State fee. Not one company — check theirs.
- Official I-9 + offer, employment, POA, reference, child travel, lease
- Map of who receives each file (employer, USCIS retain, CEAC, landlord) — we don't upload for you
- Gestoría honorarios: usually MXN (COP in Colombia). State MRV $185 USD. Our Paid plan is USD $10; cobro labels are yours.
- Hire a gestoría when you need them to file. Use Docracy when you need the packet signed.
FAQ
What do gestorías charge?
There is no one price. Mexican shops we checked publish about $900–$3,800 MXN for DS-160 / tourist-visa help (CitaYa $2,000, Visas de Coyoacán $1,200, Super Visas Express $3,800). They bill honorarios in MXN; the $185 State MRV is USD (your bank converts). Colombia shops quote in COP. Boundless and CitizenPath bill their software in USD. Docracy Paid is USD $10; cobro labels are yours.
¿Docracy sustituye a una gestoría de visa?
No. Una gestoría o tramitador presenta. Nosotros firmamos el paquete de apoyo y te decimos a quién mandarlo. Si necesitas que alguien presente, contrátalos. Si ya los tienes, usa esto.
Do you submit to the consulate?
No. Official links on the immigrant kit open CEAC and travel.state.gov. You (or your gestoría) upload.
