With immigration laws changing every year, it’s invaluable to have someone like Kalinde who keeps track of every nuance. In addition, she is friends with the staff at SEF offices nationwide. If there are any complications, she can negotiate solutions. I can’t recommend her enough.

Some people see expat or immigrant, what we see is someone that is brave enough to leave everything and everyone they know behind to pack their life into a handful suitcase to get on a plane with a one-way ticket and to travel across the globe to go and live in a place they may never have been before and start a whole new chapter in life
