“I opted for the platinum service for a right of abode/HK permanent ID card application. Best money i have ever spent. Unbelievably fast and responsive service. After sending off my case details i received a reply from Stephen Barnes the same evening. The following morning in contact with their team to go through application strategy, documentation required etc. The case manager follow up was always almost immediate such that the application was ready for lodgement well before the application date. After application 14 days later everything approved. I did not even need to visit the immigration department till the day the verification was done in the morning and card issued that afternoon. If your immigration application is important to you get professional advice. If i had followed my own strategy i doubt such a straightforward success”
