The company is giving not bad costumer service but they need to be more honest and clear with their clients. they knew I was looking for License and Residency in Dubai but they covered that and it was done in RAK (which is much cheaper). They also promised to finish it in up to 12 days it took almost 3 months to complete it.But there is good people there, specially Mr. Furqan (PR) from Pakistan has helped me with finishing processes faster and easier way. He is really good and supportive. Hope the company strategy will change and to fool people.
