Do I need a lawyer, or can I apply myself?

Many people apply on their own. A lawyer is most useful when the case is complex, time-sensitive, or a previous application was refused.

What is the difference between a lawyer and a consultant?

Both can be authorized representatives, but only a lawyer can represent you in all courts and give advice on related legal issues.

How long do applications take?

Processing times change often and depend on the type of application and where it is processed.

Can a refusal be appealed?

Some decisions can be appealed or reviewed, and the deadlines are short, so get advice as soon as you receive the decision.
