What Pier helped with

They built my profile, checked every file and made sure everything was in order before I submitted.

From the client's original feedback

They stayed on the line while I filled in the e-service for the first time, and told me when to stop and when to carry on. Also, before I submitted, we had a last call where we went through everything once more. That's where we caught a wrong date.

The specific help the client highlighted

This work sits within Pier's Singapore PR application service.

The client experience

Doing this alone with no family here, I really needed someone patient, and Pier was. They built my profile, checked every file and made sure everything was in order before I submitted. My PR came through, and the whole family is celebrating. Thank you! Worth it, and I'd recommend them to my friends.
