It’s been an awesome experience with team GVM. Saurabh and team done a great job. These guys are full of knowledge and very professional. They help me with my skill assessment and employment assessment which I thought my employment assessment is not possible because my experience was 6 years old and it was from overseas. Because of GVM team’s experience and their dedication they made it possible. Once CPA refused my overseas experience assessment but I would like to thank ZYN. She fought for my case and CPA assessed my overseas experience. I was great experience and I would highly recommend GVM for any kind of Imigration service that people are seeking. They are very professional and would never let you down. Thank you so much Team GVM. Thank You Saurabh Sir and ZYN.
