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.

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👍

With massive experience, great work ethics and professionalism, documentation guidance, counselling and communications are all rated 5 stars. In our case the results should speaks for itself. · Essential work visa Kabita- approved in 5 days · Residency for both of us- approved in less than 3 months.

"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.

Joyce & Glen Vaz – Residence Visa SMC

My name is Wilfredo and I will describe in the following words how it was for me and my wife, Andrea, our process to come to New Zealand. First, in early 2019, we heard of a friend in my country in Central America that he was talking with someone from New Zealand, about exploring the possibility of getting there, so we asked him about the details. Once we had the details, we got in contact with Shekhar, from Grey Cells Ltd., and He asked us several questions to let us know if we were eligible, and so, we started the process. We had to take the English test, collect the funds, look for something suitable to study and many other things. Shekhar walked us through all the process. He built a plan for us and told us that, at that stage and with the current immigration rules, the best option was to study a master’s degree because it could open a work visa for my wife while I was studying. And so we did; it was not easy to cover all the requirements, it took a lot of determination and sacrifice, but at the end, we could. By March 2020 we had already been accepted for entering New Zealand for me and my wife; however, sadly it was during March 2020 when the COVID started being felt worldwide and the lockdowns started, and our process was delayed. Two years passed and we just kept living our lives and thought that this process was over, but in March 2022, I received an email from the University asking us if we were willing to be proposed to be nominated to be one of the first group of students to come New Zealand in the reopening phase of the country to the world, to which we agreed. Those months passed very fast and we spoke again to Shekhar. He explained us that we had to start over again, but with much faith, we tried again. This time it was way easier because we already had all the documentation and it took less effort, and I (Wilfredo) still remember that day and the moment when Shekhar told me “Wilfredo, we did it, your documents just arrived”, and Shekhar explained me that my wife’s document were going to be arriving soon since her application was relying on mine. Well, it happened that Immigration required here another health test, and right before taking it, my wife (Andrea) noticed that she had COVID. Really bad news for us because we wanted to depart together, and in my case, I had a deadline to come to university, and I had no confirmation of her documents to be approved. I spoke to Shekhar and told him that I could not leave my wife behind, but thanks for all the assistance; practically, I was giving up on all this…. But then, Shekhar called me and gave me strength. He told me to have determination, to have courage, that we had fought a lot together and he was defending me in this case and gave me another perspective. Shekhar told me that New Zealand could be a great place to settle down and have a new life, and also told me that such opportunity is desired by many. So my wife and I took the risk even knowing that at that moment, only I (Wilfredo) was going to depart. A few days later, Shekhar called me back and told me: “Wilfredo, we did it again with Andrea”. And so, Andrea came to the country around one month later with a partner work visa, while I am studying. Regarding Shekhar’s job, we can just say thank you. He has a lot of experience and we are amazingly grateful with everything that he did for us for not only the paper work, but also for all the words that we needed to hear in the right moment.

I was given the right guidance, I was treated with a professional decorum and I was offered fair payment terms every time I used Grey Cell's Services. As actions speak louder than words, I had 100% success in all my visa applications through Grey Cell's.It's a bit difficult to write write Shekhar's full name rest everything is fine 😛Kind Regards

I got a in touch with Shekhar through a friend’s referral. I was in open work visa which was expiring and needed to transition to work visa. Even though i got a job that supported my visa, there were some complications. Shekhar ensured everything was perfect from my end and applied. My work visa was issued within 5 days! It felt like a miracle. My stay here in NZ was extended for 3 years and now i am a resident. I recommended and continue recommending him to all my friends who require help with immigration.

Grey cell is a good choice to make your dreams come true. I am happy to be one of Shekhar's clients. I’d like to thank the Grey cells team so much for all their professional help, advice, and prompt communication. In 2020 I already booked tickets to return back to my home country because of visa issues. Actually, Shekhar is my life changer. The only thing that I still stay here is his positive attitude and he said 'don't leave the country, we will help you.' And he helps me a lot all the way to get a visa. I would like to express how happy and satisfied we are with the quality of service we have experienced from Grey cells. Words are not enough for how grateful we are to those who have helped us throughout our journey.
