I cannot thank Shekhar and the Grey Cells Team enough for the guidance and support given throughout my visa process. I learned about Shekhar from the Immigration New Zealand list of licensed immigration advisers. He replied to my email promptly, and my queries were answered clearly and honestly. This is what set him aside from the others I had contacted, who either gave ambiguous answers or insisted on me sharing my documents first. Once I decided to proceed, I was sent the agreement to sign, as well the Immigration Advisers' Code of Conduct. Throughout the process, every action was taken in my best interest and strictly adhering to the professional standards mentioned. My visitor visa (special purpose) got approved within a fortnight of lodging the application, and for a longer duration than I was expecting. Shekhar gave me a call to convey the happy news; even though I couldn't answer the call, it did add a personal touch to the experience. I would definitely recommend Grey Cells Consultants to anyone who needs New Zealand Immigration services.
I would like to thank you for the immense support and guidance in each and every step throughout our difficult journey. We really appreciate your effort , guidance and professionalism to make this happen. After more than Four years of waiting, finally my husband’s visa is approved and this would not have been possible without your support and guidance. Me and my husband are so delighted to be reunited soon.We definitely look forward to your support and services in upcoming days for any kind of visa process. I would also share our success story to my friends and definitely would recommend to choose your organisation for any kind of visa process. Thank you so much once again.
Shekhar Pillai is extremely professional and made sure every step of my application was carried with high attention to detail. My work visa application was so complex and delicate that even one single mistake would have meant that it is the end of my NZ journey. He surely does invest a lot of thought, time, and effort into the strategy of a case. He made me understand the facts and risks associated with my application and how we may be able to overcome some risks. I strongly recommend him for any immigration work because, after achieving the desired results in a super hard case like mine, I believe, there is no case he couldn't solve. Very precise in all aspects & very knowledgeable. Thank you, sir, for your continued support through the visa process.He truly made my every penny worth the spend😌. Highly recommend to anyone who need professional immigration advices👍
I highly recommend Mr Shekhar Pillai (Grey cells Ltd) for all my approval visas i.e. Work visa, Partnership visa, Essential skill visa (twice) and Resident visa. Mr. Pillai has been very communicative, professional and very much attentive to detail with all his work. always guided me with clear advice with my visa applications and also sometimes with my personal issues. He really cares about his clients and their visa success; He always has a positive attitude towards his clients. I and my family are very grateful to him as he got us through our immigration visa journey very smoothly. Thank you once again Shekhar for everything. Will definitely recommend you to people for your wise service.
"Thank you Shekar once again for your guidance, patience and absolute professionalism”We met Shekhar in 2017 when we were in a very stressful and complicated situation where our residency application has been rejected and our work visa was about to expire. The situation was due to a misguidance that we received regarding the application and we had no choice for another application as per many ‘so called’ immigration lawyers/advisors we met at that time. We were very lucky to get Shekhar’s contact and he was very patient enough to hear our story. The immediate answer from his side was that “it will not be easy but we will fight for the visa”. His confidence gave us the ray of hope and he worked on it to make an application that helped us to get the work visa. After 5 years here we are with our residency application approved. We did many applications these years and we never had any issues once Shekar took over our case. Sekhar will be my first, best and only recommendation to everyone who is looking for an immigration advisor as we have had experiences with many of them. His knowledge and experience in immigration matters are really commendable.
I've had two visas processed with your help and both times you have been very solution-oriented in your approach. I'd recommend you to anyone looking to get anything done visa related.Kind Regards
