Maria helped me to apply for a study visa to the UK and was with me all the way through the process, and it was an interesting journey :)Maria helped me to collect a package of documents, was very attentive and patiently answered all my questions. We submitted the documents and began to wait. And then everyone started to slowly receive visas, but mine was not coming out. I would like to note that when I started to feel very worried about the fact that all my classmates got visas, Maria was very supportive, she was in touch with me 24/7, she looked for different ways to find out what was wrong with my case, wrote a request to the home office, escalated the case, and so on.
At one point when the home office contacted my university to ask if they were waiting for me or not (they finally got to my case) the university said they couldn't wait any longer and cancelled the case. I was terribly upset, I started cancelling tickets, I should have written an application to cancel my visa application, but Maria said not to do that because this person never gives up 🙂 She had a plan and in one evening she created something incredible. She convinced my university by going all the way to the head professor that even though all the deadlines were passed, I had been studying the whole time on the syllabus (which was true) and they should overturn the ‘cancellation’ touch and proceed with my case. I don't know how she did it, but then I realised that nothing is impossible for Maria, and I was lucky to be among her clients. Now I have already graduated from university with a first class degree, and with Maria we have already managed to make a post graduate visa to work in the UK. Besides her professional qualities, Maria is an amazing, kind, sensitive person and there is no better person to start your journey in England.

MA Fashion Design - University of HertfordshireAfter completing my bachelor's degree in England, I was struggling with the choice of a master's programme and the subsequent visa issues that were on the way. And to our luck, we met Maria, who accompanied me and dealt with the appropriate faculties and all the postgraduate situations like no other specialist. Maria will find a way out of any situation and will never leave a question unfinished. Maria also helped not only me but also my parents in obtaining further visas, which at the time seemed very difficult. Maria always works for results and it is a pleasure to cooperate with her!
