What Our Clients Say!
Good Work
Good Morning Karina.
Thanks a lot to you, Phila and your team for your good work!
Best regards.
You are a Genius
Hallo Tarryn & John,
You are evidently geniuses and it seems that you have managed to intervene faster than anybody else in the Republic could have done. For reference, my immigration lawyer in Cape Town told me that it may take 3 months! Suffice to say, I am extremely grateful for your intervention and I cannot express the level of relief that I now feel. Thanks so much, and we will be in touch next week to commence the process of rectifying the error in Gabriel’s visa.
