I am highly delighted with the services S I E C is providing to their clients. Earlier, I was bit reluctant to have my file assessed for Australian Skill Assessment, for the Immigration purposes, however, when one of my friends shared his positive experience with the management team and their level of professionalism, after listening to his positive words I prepared my mind to avail the S I E C migration services . Finally, I got my result positive. I really want to thank all the team members who are very polite, honest and hard-working. If anyone is looking to migrate Overseas then do not worry just faith on them.

My overall experience with siec was great. Me and my husband applied for Australian PR through SIEC and recently got the acceptance letter for the same. I want to commend the team specially Bandana & Shruti for their incredible support throughout the process from initial consultation to final stage of documentation. Their deep knowledge of migration regulations, attention to detail and dedication to ensure accuracy in all documentation were truly impressive.
The only concern had was as there were multiple modification & enhancements in the documentations, there was long delay in the process which could have been done in short period of time.I want to thank complete siec team for helping us through this process.

We had a great experience with SIEC faculty as we have applied visitor visa of our parents for canda and amazingly we got it within 10 days of applying visa . Kudos to the team members for their listening and understanding power as they assist us in every step whenever in need and most importantly Ma’m Aastha manocha was very patient with us who listened to our doubts even in the odd hours . We find ourselves lucky to find them and even suggest others too for the guidance and visa they are providing. The SIEC whole team knows how to represent a whole huge file in a compact way and we are delighted to have a back of them. Thank you team SIEC for the wonderful journey we shared and looking forward for such more work for other family members too. Thanku keep growing.
