Everything was very transparent. We only contacted him over the phone and emails. He got the residents visa approval in the first go. It didn't get rejected or had to appeal like other lawyers said. Stewart knows exactly what he does. He doesn't panic. He a real expert. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to have their visas done peacefully at reasonable fees. Thank you Stewart and Dalley Sundar Law team. You guys rock
