My case was really complicated. Due to the quarantine I got stuck in another country almost for a year and missed some immigration deadlines. Legal Ideas mitigated all the risks and solved all issues. Now I'm in Ukraine, legal and run my own business.

I hired another lawyer but my residence application was rejected and the lawyer couldn't help with this. Legal Ideas appealed the rejection and I got my residence in 4 weeks.
