My protection visa was granted just 10 months after lodgement, and the whole process felt incredibly easy and quick thanks to my supportive lawyer. Shout out to Bilal, who is super helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. He carefully reviewed my conditions and gave me the best advice and pathway to get the visa. Even though I was super busy and couldn’t always communicate often, he always kept in touch, reminded me of important deadlines, and gave practical suggestions to make my paperwork stress-free. I truly appreciate his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone needing immigration help.read more
