Imagine if people use AI to get VISAs. My wife and I filled out Visa forms for her two sisters in Thailand in 2007, and we are still waiting for approval.

My personal recommendation (disclaimer, used to work for them): https://www.atlys.com A ton of work behind the scenes to find the the weird foibles and gotchas of every visa type on offer and automate all the ridiculous stuff (all the way down to needing to physically courier a passport around for some applications), to get extremely high acceptance rates.
