A little more clarity.
What is a strategic consultation?
A paid professional consultation to review your immigration history, assess potential options and risks, and identify practical next steps. It is the first step before engaging Garvey Immigration for further services.
Can my consultation fee be credited toward further services?
If you decide to retain my services, your eligible consultation fee will be credited toward your professional fees, subject to the applicable terms.
I’ve already had a refusal. Can we still talk?
Yes. A consultation can begin with a review of the refusal and your immigration history. Flag any deadline when you reach out so it can be considered from the start.
What should I prepare for a consultation?
A short timeline of your situation, your current status, and details of any recent decisions or deadlines are a helpful starting point. Specific documents can be discussed when arranging the consultation.
Can you guarantee an outcome?
No outcome is guaranteed. What I offer is a careful assessment, honest advice, and a strategy informed by your individual circumstances.

Every case begins
with a conversation.
Before recommending an application or accepting a case, I take the time to understand your situation. A paid strategic consultation is the first step.
