As the immigration regulations are complex and frequently changing, so in order to lodge a proper and correct application you must the updated knowledge in the field. The immigration rules and regulations are confusing and can change on a regular basis, sometimes even weekly! From one day to the next, you cannot be sure which regulations will apply to your case.
