A difficult step, managed
Overseas documents can become the critical path.
Police certificates can be difficult to obtain when a person no longer lives in the issuing country, local procedures are unclear or personal attendance would create significant disruption.
We help identify the likely requirement, coordinate with established overseas contacts and keep the document process connected to the wider immigration application.
