DearMr Andrew,
this is what exactly I am saying there is no control over these type
of limited assistance.Actually I am not aware about other part of the
world but in our place this is very popular.All those who are canadian
based or lawyers have brought name over here.Particularly lawyers.
People throng for limited assistance and yes they are aware that they
are not represented by him .But low rates, in field for few years,ask
for references,contract for full refund, always available unlike
canadian based lawyers, so what else is required.That was the point I
had highlighted.
Finally what matters is visa and of course money.
