The Challenge

Initial Situation

The client approached our consultancy at the Dadar office for assistance with traveling to the Turks and Caicos Islands to visit family members residing there. This was the first time our team was handling a Turks and Caicos visa case from this location, requiring extensive research and careful navigation of a less commonly understood immigration system.

Given the complexity of the case:

Phase 4: Application Submission & Follow-up (Week 3-4)

• Ensured all documentation accuracy and completeness
