Our Client Reviews
I met with Fateh sir and i got to know about it through Instagram. Sir is very humble and polite and have a great knowledge about canadian visa and immigration process so, if you have any queries kindly contact him.
Very good. That's what Sir, I found something very bad, that's what I wanted to say, when the refusal came in the file, then I must see it once, Navratan Sir.
My husband is in Canada on a work permit and I wanted to apply for a spouse visa for myself and a study visa for my son. We say that the processing times have increased to 6.5 months. My husband had applied through Mr. Fateh and we had full faith in him. He offered us a discount because we were existing clients and did my details affidavit with my application. He also gave legal submissions and added all evidence to our file. I was surprised when I got a call from Monika that both our files had been approved within 2 months. I am very very happy with their services and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for good quality and a Canadian lawyer in India. Priya maam and Monika provided regular updates and I always felt that I was a top priority in the office. I rate them a full 5 stars.
Best service received. Very professional and expert in the field of immigration law. My wife is in Canada and I wanted to apply for a spouse visa. My case was very complicated and all consultants said that they did not know how to deal with my case or that I had no chance of approval. I knew my case was complicated and anyone who is not a lawyer will not be able to understand it. My wife was searching for a Barrister in Canada but it was very difficult to explain my case because I was in India and they were in Canada. Then I found Mr. Fateh in India. He had dealt with complicated cases like mine before and had also won them in federal court. My case was so difficult but Mr. Fateh spent many hours getting my Canadian affidavit ready which explained my entire case. With his legal submissions everything was done to perfection. Normal spouse visa takes 5 months and I was sure my case would take 1 whole year. I was surprised and full of happiness when my spouse visa was approved within 2 months. I would like to give Fateh law office 5 stars for excellent service and highly recommend Fateh sir because of his experience in Canadian law. They are the best law firm for immigration in India.
I had been wanting to go meet my brother in Canada, but I had been refused twice for a visitor visa, thankfully this time I took the services of Fateh Law Corporation who not only did my application but also took my case to the court when I was refused and got a settlement to reopen my file . Despite the settlement, my file did not reopen and the team at Fateh Law Corporation went to court again and filled a mandamus case and because of this pressure, IRCC reopened my file, and I got my visa. I feel lucky that I chose a Fateh Law Corporation for my file, and I am very thankful for the work they did. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for genuine immigration advise.
I had been wanting to visit Canada and meet my brother who is a Canadian Citizen but unfortunately had been refused a Visa saying that my assets were not enough even though I had enough money as per my CA report. I luckily found out about Fateh Law Corporation. They applied with a perfected application but unfortunately, I was refused again. The advantage of hiring Fateh Law Corporation came in here because as a law firm they were able to challenge the decision in Court and I successfully got a visa after IRCC settled with us seeing my strong case. It was a long battle in court but we eventually won. I couldn’t be happier with the good Work done by Mr. Fateh and his team. Having a Canadian Lawyer here in India is very helpful and I would urge anyone who has been refused a Canadian Visa to take the services of Fateh Law Corporation and engage a lawyer instead of random consultants.
We are highly satisfied with the services of Fateh Law Corporation.We are thankful to Mr. Navratan Singh Fateh for getting our TRVs approved.We had a complicated immigration history in the US, which was very well explained in the Canadian Affidavit executed by Mr. Fateh.The legal strategy used by Mr. Fateh to submit our applications is commendable, and we are pleased with the positive outcome we have received from having our applications approved in the first go.We highly recommend the professional services rendered at Fateh Law Corporation and the polite and friendly staff who patiently handled all our queries and helped us secure our visitor visas in time to participate in the wedding ceremony of the devotees.
