Don’t do it!

This is honestly the WORST company to consider for immigration/residency-related needs. Do not waste your time and money!

A close friend and colleague (who has been living in SA struggling with work permit after work permit for almost 10 years) decided to use Immigration 4u for his final residency application because he saw it as an investment into using a “knowledgeable and professional” company to seamlessly handle his final residency application for him. He was very wrong.

Considering that this type of application is something that Immigration 4u does on a daily basis (and their hefty fee of +-R13,000, which implies a premium service [and team]), you would expect that they would know the implications of checking supp**** documentation for certification (and then easily certifying them themselves by their in-house chartered accountant/lawyer prior to submission). They failed to do this and my friend’s application was therefore rejected. Immigration 4u tried to use the excuse that government has inaccurate requirements on their website so they cannot be held accountable. If you are paid to do this every day, you KNOW these requirements inside out.

They refuse to waive their exorbitant re-application fees and re-process the application even though it was clearly their error. My friend is happy to pay the government fees but rightly feels that Immigration 4u should not charge again due to it being their error.

They are dishonest and some might even presume that they are doing it on purpose to make extra money off desperate immigrants who have a 2 week window period to re-apply.

They also keep what ever physical documentation YOU send them. When you ask for YOUR documents back, they want to charge you for that too. It’s actually crazy that this is even happening. Pretty sure it’s a direct POPIA infringement!
