Ms Lovely Willis made my customer support experience like a breeze and resolved the challenges I faced while processing my application on the portal. Her willingness to help, intelligence and willingness to take initiative to help made my life easy.The email instructions sent to clients need to be aligned with the actual dashboard items to avoid confision. Also, when processing my Visa application, the portal needs to be developed to allow saving data in case the user logged out for any reason instead if starting the whole process all over again. With these frustrations having someone helpful like Ms Lovely helped a lot. Thanks for your support SHAMS
