### FAQs

#### What does general immigration advisory cover for individuals and businesses?

It covers guidance on visa categories, application strategy, refusal analysis, travel ban assessments, documentation review, and compliance with entry or exit rules for both inbound foreign nationals and outbound Indian travellers or employees.

#### When should a client seek immigration advisory rather than filing directly?

Clients should consult before filing if they have prior visa refusals, complex travel histories, criminal or medical inadmissibility concerns, or tight corporate timelines. Early advisory reduces rejection risk and avoids costly re-applications or delays in mobility plans.

#### Which Indian laws and authorities regulate immigration and visa matters?

The Passport Act 1967, Foreigners Act 1946, and Immigration (Carriers Liability) Act 2000 form the core framework. FRRO and BOIA under the Ministry of Home Affairs administer registration, extensions, and exit permits for foreign nationals in India.

#### What is the typical timeline and cost driver in an immigration advisory engagement?

A focused opinion on a single visa issue takes three to five working days. Complexity rises with multi-jurisdiction filings, dependent applications, or employer compliance audits. Volume of documentation review and urgency of travel dates are the primary cost drivers.

#### What documents should a client gather before the first immigration consultation?

Clients should compile current and expired passports, prior visa stamps or refusal letters, employment or admission records, travel itineraries, and any correspondence from immigration authorities. Corporate clients should add assignee lists and entity registration details.

#### What common mistakes does proper immigration advisory help clients avoid?

Frequent pitfalls include misclassifying visa categories, submitting inconsistent employment dates across forms, failing to disclose prior refusals, and missing FRRO registration deadlines. Each of these can trigger refusals, bans, or penalties that are harder to remedy after the fact.
