What to Check Before Paying an Immigration Consultant

What to verify before handing fees to any migration consultancy.

Before paying any consultancy, verify who they are: registration details, a physical office, how long they have operated, and exactly what your fee covers — in writing.

Be cautious of verbal guarantees. No consultancy can guarantee a visa, because decisions rest with government authorities. Written, specific deliverables are worth far more than confident promises.

• Get the fee structure and refund terms in writing
• Ask who will actually handle your file
• Ask whether they receive commissions from the colleges or employers they recommend
• Never rely on verbal success claims

An independent assessment of your profile before you sign can tell you whether the pathway being sold to you appears relevant at all.
