Real Sri Lankans. Real Approvals.

I had applied to the University of Edinburgh for an MSc and received my unconditional offer. What I did not anticipate was how complex the student visa documentation would be. A colleague recommended Global Visa Services. From the first call, the level of detail was reassuring — Nishani reviewed my CAS letter, walked through every financial evidence requirement, and identified a gap in my maintenance calculation that could have caused a refusal. The application was submitted clean, and I had my BRP within three weeks of biometrics. I am now in my second semester.

My first attempt at Canadian PR was handled by a different agency. The application was refused — and when I asked them why, their analysis was vague and unhelpful. I came to Global Visa Services after reading about their refusal recovery process. Priya spent two hours going through my refusal letter with me. The issue was my employment reference letters — they did not adequately reflect the NOC description for my role, which caused IRCC to downgrade my work experience points. We rebuilt the letters with my employer, recompiled the full profile, and I received my ITA in the next suitable draw. Landing completed 8 months later.

I accepted a Finance Director role in Dubai and had a visa deadline tied to my joining date. My employer had begun the MOHRE process on their side, but the documentation from my end — NBI, attestation of my CA qualification, and the medical clearance — needed coordinating quickly. Chamara at Global Visa Services took over immediately and coordinated everything in parallel. What would have taken me weeks to figure out was done in days. I had my visa stamped in under three weeks and started my role on time.

Australia Subclass 189 is a complex pathway — and I had been told by one agency that my points were too low. Rajiv at Global Visa Services disagreed. He identified that my current IELTS band was limiting my score, and that with a re-sit targeting the IELTS band 8 threshold in each component, I would push past the points required for state nomination through Victoria. Six months of preparation, a re-sit, a Victoria state nomination, and eleven months after the skills assessment submission — I have my PR. The roadmap Rajiv laid out was precise.

My husband and I wanted to visit Paris and Amsterdam for our anniversary. We had been refused a Schengen visa twice through a travel agent — both times due to financial documentation issues. When I came to Global Visa Services, Chamara spent the first meeting going through exactly what the French consulate needed to see. He identified that our bank statements showed a single large transfer just before the statement period — a classic flag. We waited for a clean two-month run, structured the statements correctly, and submitted with a full itinerary and certified insurance. Approved in 12 working days. We had a wonderful trip.

I needed to attend a client conference in San Francisco and my B1/B2 application was approaching the consular interview. Priya at Global Visa Services spent two sessions preparing me for the interview — the specific questions US consular officers ask Sri Lankan IT professionals, how to articulate my ties to Sri Lanka convincingly, and how to describe the business purpose of my visit without triggering additional scrutiny. The interview was 4 minutes. Approved on the day.
