  • My dearest thanks to Zahida who assisted in my spouse visa application from Pakistan. During this time of the pandemic, I wasn't sure what would happen and wanted reassurance every so often. Zahida was very professional, responsive and reassured me each step of the way right until the visa was granted in a matter of months. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
