Omar and A1 Passport and Visa to the rescue! I was checking in with a group at British Airways in Houston when I was told that my passport had expired. I felt devestated! A friend in the group googled passport services on her cell phone and found Omar's business and phone number but it was late afternoon and we figured we'd have o wait till the next day to see him. My husband and I checked into a hotel and then took a chance and called Omar's number to find out when we could see him. He told us that even though his official working hours were over, he was willing to see us that evening. We hurried down and he welcomed us to his office, even though he could have been out somewhere resting and relaxing. He put us at ease, telling us not to worry and assuring us that he would get my passport by the next afternoon. In a short time he had all the paperwork completed. All through the process he was calming us down, telling us we'd be on our way to Europe the next day. His manner was extremely warm and friendly, as well as efficient. He had the documents at the State Department by 8:00 the next morning and communicated with us by cell phone to keep us updated. By 3:30 PM I had the new passport in my hand! That evening we were winging our way to Rome to join our group. Omar had treated us not like customers, but like old friends, with his calming, re-assuring manner and then coming through, just like he said he would! He turned a stressed-out, frustrated couple into happy campers. It was as though an angel had guided us his way, and he turned out to be an angel himself. We recommend Omar and A1 Passport and Visa anytime, to anyone who needs this kind of service. Omar and his service are A-1 and better !!! Liane C.

Omar was very professional and everything that he said was true. He stands behind his service and the price was very cheap. I dropped my passport off and I was able to pick it up on the next business day. I would advise all that are in the Houston or Dallas area to use his service.

needed to obtain a passport within two weeks for my destination wedding. As a wedding present, Omar had my passport back in only four days! Fast turnaround is certainly very pleasing, but for me the true satisfaction lay in A1’s commitment to customer service. I truly feel like I was being given personal attention throughout the process. When I was unable to pick up my passport due to unforeseen circumstances, Omar has made several follow-up calls to ensure that we schedule a meeting. He also has this board on the wall where he keeps track of his customer’s scheduled delivery dates, and on it, there are no job numbers or order numbers. Every customer is an actual person with a name. This has put me, a manager to a service oriented company, to shame. Very friendly atmosphere, professional attention to my needs, fast,dependable service, and the witty and knowledgeable staff have made my experience a very pleasant one. I walked in expecting a fast turnaround at an affordable price, but I have gotten so much more out of my experience with A1 Passport & Visa. Pleasure to do business with. Lejla C

I highly recommend this company to everyone. I was informed of a business trip to Mexico I only had two days to get my passport so I called Omar in Houston and he informed me I do a 24 hr passport service the sealed pkg was to be there at 8:00 am but UPS was late so the passport agency could not do the same day passport. The day I was leaving from Oklahoma city Omar hand delivered my passport to southwest airlines in Houston to have it delivered in Okc before I left. Cause of Omar I made it to Mexico and kept my job.

Got my passport in a hurry, Thanks A1! My situation was unique, but workable. My passport was processed in less time than promised and the quality of cutomer service I received was outstanding. I am a customer for life and will recommend your business to all my friends, co-workers and even strangers on the street. Traveling to China and will need a visa- see ya soon.
Again thanks a million

Had spoken to Omar approx. 3 months prior to my new son being born because we were concerned with getting a passport in time to take our Christmas holiday in Canada. He assured me that he could have it within 1 day if needed.
Fast forward 3 months and Omar delivered in 1 day after I gave him the paperwork. Very courteous, efficient and does what he says he will do. Great Customer Service.
Will definitely recommend him to my friends and colleagues.

Omar at A1 Passport and Visa is great!! My husband and I needed passports for our three children. We couldn't wait the normal processing time, so we went to Omar. We paid for 12 day service, and we got their passports within two days!! We were shocked, and very satisfied with the service. Thanks to the Heavenly father for sending us to Omar.
