Visa Immigration Services: How to Identify the Genuine Agent

Looking for genuine Visa Immigration Services in Ludhiana, Punjab can be tiresome and daunting as a lot of vultures are in the market with a trap. Once you are in, there’s no way out without losing money, time, sanity and whatnot.

The definition of the best can vary.

For some, the best is the one who secures a visa by any means necessary.

For others, the best is an honest agent who uses genuine documents, allows clients to review their files before submission, provides access to their immigration file for updates, and uses the client’s email for communication instead of creating their own to keep clients dependent.

Let’s discuss the first type.

The market, especially in Punjab, is saturated with such agents. They lure customers with sweet talk and fake visas (borrowed or bought for marketing). Even social media is flooded with their claims, which genuine agents would avoid. While these agents might get you a visa, there’s always a risk of deportation if the immigration authorities cross-check your documents, even after you become a Permanent Resident or Citizen. You might end up spending a lot on lawyers to avoid deportation, often unsuccessfully.

These agents run flashy marketing campaigns and label their services as products, which is a red flag. Their so-called products like “All Payment After Visa,” “Guarantee Visa Scheme,” and “Learn Filing from Home” exploit people’s emotions, especially since getting a visa is a significant emotional investment for many Punjabis.

Ironically, they guarantee a visa but still take original documents, processing fees, non-refundable college fees (usually around Rs. 1 Lakh), and even ask for GIC transfers (in the case of Canada) to earn extra money. They profit even before a visa refusal. These are not ethical visa immigration services to be offered.

These agents present themselves as saviours while calling others frauds. If they guarantee a visa, why charge anything upfront, especially when college fees are non-refundable? Until people start questioning these fraudulent practices, nothing will change.

P.S. – These agents often send clients to private institutions they co-own, which may occasionally get visas but usually lack Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP). Avoid these first types like the plague, just as you avoided handshakes during the first lockdown. Avoid them.

To secure a visa, some agents often manipulate documents to align with visa trends, attempting to deceive the embassy. They gamble with your visa profile, and even if you get banned, they’ve already made their money. This leaves you moving from one agent to another, facing broken dreams, and potentially resorting to illegal routes like the Dunki route.

Now, let’s discuss the second type of agent.

These agents are straightforward and may seem blunt, but they prioritize transparency. They don’t use their emails and always share prepared files, giving students access to the immigration portal. They counsel students, understand their interests, and provide multiple options to choose from.

You won’t hesitate to call or visit them, feeling like you’re visiting a friend. Unlike the first type, who might mistreat you for frequent updates, these agents offer a pleasant experience. They are hard to find because they don’t run flashy ads like “Free IELTS.” If someone offers free IELTS, they likely take your original documents and charge you for classes if you hire them for a visa.

Checking the social media of type 2 agents, you’ll find no exaggerated claims of getting hundreds of visas daily. Instead, they have genuine posts and videos of students. Even if 20% of students refuse to make videos, their claims remain realistic. Type 2 agents never take your original documents or passport, as it’s illegal in India. Keeping your passport is considered human trafficking under the Passport Act of 1967.
