Q : Can you make my application go faster?
A : The straight answer is unfortunately, no. Again, if any immigration practitioner is offering this type of promise it should raise a red flag for you.

However, there are ways that hiring first Immigration that will help in speeding up the process. Ensuring your application is accurate and complete the first time, will lessen the chance of having to go back over your case.

A : When applying for any type of immigration status you are going to want someone to help you that has the competence and knowledge and can work with in a trusting relationship.
