We offer expert guidance on immigration and visa processes, including work permits, study permits, permanent residency applications, family sponsorships, and citizenship applications.

Eligibility for immigration depends on the specific visa or residency program you are applying for. Most programs have criteria based on age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors. Global Pathways Immigration Consultant can help assess your eligibility for various programs.

An immigration consultant is a professional who provides advice and assistance with the immigration process but may not be qualified to practice law. An immigration lawyer is a licensed attorney who can represent clients in legal proceedings, provide legal advice, and help with more complex immigration matters.

The immigration process timeline varies widely depending on the type of application, individual circumstances, and USCIS processing times. Some applications, such as temporary visas, may be processed in a few months, while others, like family-based green cards or naturalization, can take several years. Factors such as application volume, background checks, and requests for additional evidence can also impact the timeline. Since USCIS processing times fluctuate, it’s always best to check their official website for the most up-to-date estimates.

Our team of experienced immigration consultants provides personalized, up-to-date advice tailored to your needs. We ensure that your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time to improve your chances of success.

While you can apply on your own, immigration laws and policies can be complex and frequently change. Our consultants help navigate these challenges, reducing the risk of errors or delays.

We help with various visa applications, including work permits, student visas, visitor visas, business visas, and family sponsorship visas.

Yes, we assist with permanent residency applications through Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), Family Sponsorship, and other immigration pathways.

Your eligibility to immigrate depends on several factors, including your relationship to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, employment opportunities, refugee or asylum status, and other special programs. Common pathways include family sponsorship, employment-based visas, diversity lottery, and humanitarian protections. Each category has specific requirements related to age, education, work experience, financial support, and admissibility factors like health and criminal history. The best way to determine your eligibility is to review the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidelines or consult with an immigration attorney for personalized advice.

Required documents vary by visa type but generally include passports, financial proof, educational credentials, work experience letters, and language test results. We provide a detailed checklist based on your application type.

The required documents for a visa or immigration application depend on the type of visa or immigration status you are applying for. However, common documents typically include:

       1.  Valid Passport – Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.

       2.  Completed Application Forms – Such as Form DS-160 for nonimmigrant visas or Form I-130/I-485 for immigrant petitions.

       3.  Proof of Eligibility – Depending on the visa type, this could include a job offer, family relationship proof, or asylum/refugee documents.

       4.  Financial Support Evidence – Bank statements, affidavits of support (Form I-864), or job letters to prove financial stability.

       5.  Medical Examination Report – Some visas require a medical exam from an authorized physician.

       6.  Police Clearance Certificate – To show no criminal background, if required.

       7.  Photographs – Passport-size photos meeting USCIS or embassy requirements.

       8.  Visa Fee Payment Receipt – Proof of payment for visa application processing fees.

       9.  Additional Supporting Documents – These may include birth certificates, marriage certificates, employment letters, academic transcripts, or other relevant paperwork based on your case.

No, no immigration consultant, lawyer, or agency can guarantee visa approval. Visa approvals are solely determined by immigration authorities, such as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), embassies, and consulates, based on their evaluation of your eligibility, documentation, and overall case.

Global Pathways Immigration Consulting can help you by:

   •       Assessing your eligibility for different visa options.

   •       Preparing and reviewing your application to ensure accuracy.

   •       Providing guidance on required documentation.

   •       Helping you understand immigration laws and processes.

   •       Offering professional advice to improve your chances of success.

While a strong case improves your chances, final approval is always at the discretion of immigration officers. Factors such as background checks, interviews, and changes in immigration policies can also affect the outcome.
