“A year ago Alice O’Brien at AHWC was more than truly amazing. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone. I was told by another migration company that it would not be possible for me to get permanent residency. Devastated, I went for a second opinion and found AHWC. Seamus returned my call within 10 minutes and reassured me that it would be possible to lodge my visa with a 100% chance of a successful outcome. After that phone call I felt like I had got the visa. Alice was my agent and she was so professional, responsive, and extremely easy to talk to. The end of Sept I began the application process with Alice, she had everything lodged by the 11th October, and the 4th of December my visa got granted. The best day! Thanks again Alice for all your help“
