- Whether or not you provide instructions in a timely and reasonable manner.
- Whether or not you have any criminal convictions or other credibility issues.
- Whether or not you have a complete travel and immigration history.
The work will involve:
- Discussing your circumstances in detail and confirming whether the most appropriate application for you to make and any other options that may be available to you;
- Giving you advice about the requirements of the law and whether you meet the criteria;
- Considering one set of supporting documents;
- Preparing your application and submitting it on your behalf;
