I applied for a French residence permit through them as part of their startup support program, something like a talent passport. Overall, the experience was positive, although there were a few nuances.
What I liked: iWorld's lawyers really know their stuff. They helped me fill out the application correctly, assisted with the business plan and letters of recommendation, and within a month, I received approval from one of the ministries. After that, it was time to apply for a visa. I applied in Moscow. Surprisingly, I was issued a Type D visa quite quickly. They offered a 3-month or 1-year visa. The company explained the difference; I chose the 3-month option so I could apply for a residence permit right away rather than wait 8 months. I waited about two weeks for the visa. But then some nuances arose:
my trip to France was postponed, and the visa was only valid for 3 months. I arrived in Nice with 1.5 months left on my visa. Amazingly, I didn't even have to go anywhere to submit the documents; everything was done online. I submitted my application and waited.
Unfortunately, the wait time didn't match the initial estimate. I expected 4-5 months, but it ended up being just under 7 months.
Otherwise, everything went well. After approval, I was invited to the prefecture to pick up my residence permit.
If you want a hassle-free result, this is a perfectly acceptable option. However, be prepared for the actual wait time to be closer to 7 months. Overall, I'm happy with my experience with this company and can even recommend them,as I've already received my residence permit.
