SEATTLE, Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Boundless Immigration, an organization that empowers families to navigate the immigration system more confidently, rapidly and affordably, announced today the acquisition of RapidVisa. The deal will allow Boundless Immigration to help thousands of additional immigrants each year and improve organizational efficiencies.
The deal will double Boundless Immigration's team size, allowing for faster application processing as well as tripling the number of immigration categories supported through technology, such as fiancé visas, parent and children green cards, and tourist visas. The organization will also expand its global footprint, adding offices in Las Vegas, Manila, and Cebu City, Philippines in addition to their current Seattle headquarters.
Over the past three and a half years, the Trump administration has implemented punitive and restrictive policies that have made filing for and obtaining legal immigration status exponentially harder than it was in 2016. The consolidation of the two largest companies in the online immigration support industry will help break down the barriers that too many immigrants currently face.
"This acquisition is going to allow us to help more than 10,000 immigrants navigate an overly burdensome and complex process," said Xiao Wang, CEO and co-founder of Boundless Immigration. "The move makes us the largest international online immigration company, expands our resources to support the best customer experience available, and helps us rapidly scale our business to even more categories."
In conjunction with the acquisition, Boundless announced the closing of a $7.5M Series A-1, led by Foundry Group. The round brings Boundless's total equity funding to over $18 million dollars since 2017.
In addition to Foundry Group, current investors, including Two Sigma Ventures, Trilogy Equity Partners, Pioneer Square Labs, Forefront Venture Partners, and Kevin Mahaffey participated in the round.
