Having a 100% approval rate is wonderful to hear, but, it’s not the reality. A paid representative is worth it, only if he/she does the following:
- Sugar-coat free consultation: It is better to know you are not eligible for a program instead of false promises
- Communication: You can speak about your situation comfortably and receive regular updates
- Research: Immigration policies are always changing, no one is an expert. Your paid representative should be honest when he/she is unsure and research to help you find the answers
