How We Support
We review eligibility against your specific situation, prepare the documentation the application requires, and file the application ourselves — this office holds the administrative agent licence, so the immigration filing is handled in-house rather than referred out. Where your visa depends on how the company is set up — a D-8, for example, requires a Foreign-Invested Company already registered — we flag that separately; see Foreign Investment for company structure questions.
