“Choosing the right migration consultant is difficult.I consulted with many Migration Agents, but Opal Consulting impressed me a lot.I applied for a visa for my husband, which was rejected.After some time my friends suggested that I try “Opal Consulting”.I was amazed with their professionalism and the way they arranged my documents. They kept me up to date throughout the whole process.We got the visa after 3 months. Yeah!Finally I was so happy to see my husband after 3 years and with hard struggle.”
