The three steps are as follows
Step 1: Register or fill out basic information and contact information. In this form we collect information such as your name, email, phone number, your plans, country of birth, country of citizenship, education, language proficiency, etc. The immigration consultant and back office team will keep adding more information about you to help them achieve your goal.
Step 2: The initial consultation is a required step to understand your plans and to be able to provide you with our services. The fees you will pay are not refundable and will be considered as an initial payment for any of our services.
The meeting lasts 30 minutes, which is mostly enough time to answer all your questions. Some cases may require two meetings.
Step 3: Retainer agreement, in this agreement, we explain how we can achieve your goal, the steps, deliverables, time frame, expenses, etc. Some clients may request to provide payment for different payment plans; some clients ask us to clarify the process.
