I have engaged with almost 5 migration consultancies for different services and ASIA PACIFIC GROUP IS THE BEST! They are very prompt and very clear in guiding you every step of the way once you've engaged, especially Zack and his team. The only challenge is to get a booking and contact them. But once you are in, they are always quick to respond. They are also very HONEST and KNOWLEDGEABLE of the process. Not all agencies are as honest as them. They are not after the money, they are after the good result!

I was in a really desperate situation with my visa lodging when I arrived at Asia pacific. Arun was the agent who helped me with my case and he did a spectacular job in assisting me with the process. There was ongoing communication and support provided throughout and the whole experience was truly a positive one. Definitely would recommend going with Asia Pacific for visa needs. The whole team is friendly and genuinely eager to help.
