Just like many other people I found CRIE online and I watched the video presented by Glen on CRIE web site, which motivated me to contact this agency, which I did. That was a mistake, because it was a disappointing experience. The so called Costa Rica Immigration Experts/ CRIE, happened to be the Money Extortion Experts who provide minimum service and charge 2-3 times more than their original quote.

In March I flew from Canada to Costa Rica, San Jose, and visited the CRIE office, located at Centro Comercial Trejos Montealegre 8 San José Province, San Rafael de Escazú 10203 Costa Rica.

I had 2 meetings with Johanna Alvarez and her colleague, submitted 2 documents to start an application for the residency process. It was few days later, after I returned to Canada, when I realised that instead of paying the quoted amount of $1900.00 USD I was charged $4345.00 USD. When I requested a difference $2400.00 of overcharge to be returned to me, I received no reply. Now you see a picture: several clients per day x by $2400 USD x weeks/ month / year, that is how much money, fraudulently extorted from clients, are pocketed by the "agents" of the CRIE.

I have the documents and bank statements to prove it.

In simple words the people who operate from the San Jose office in Costa Rica are thieves who operate from the office located in San Jose, managed by Johanna Alvarez, and use this office for their personal financial gain, practising money extortion and overcharges.

I am not sure if Michael Alan and Marcela Gurdian are aware about those illegal activities, I suggest they may want to revise the agency personnel and perhaps establish some kind of controls/ guidelines/ accounting and office procedures and measures to prevent the staff from using that office as a well oiled money extortion machine, and until that happens, when you hear a name Costa Rica Immigration Experts/ CRIE, ple[censored]d on to your wallets, and when you see a name Johanna Alvarez, run away as fast as you can.
