What the client says

"Simon and his team are reliable, honest and operate with integrity. They helped my husband in his section 61 visa and make him legal in New Zealand. I recommend them to everybody who is looking for any immigration advice. They explained everything so well in our file. Simon and Hya are so supportive and guided us on each and every step. Thanks once again for your help."
Note: The client and Simon never once met in person and conducted all communications through our advanced IT system. It was due to the restrictions on travelling and meetings because of Covid-19. However, when the restrictions got lifted, our firm decided to continue the no face to face meeting policy after we found out it was more practical and efficient.
