9 tips choosing an Immigration Consultant

1. Decide if you will hire an agent or a lawyer. Both can handle the same task except you have a difficult case that needs judicial review. If you can get a guidance from a trustworthy person, who has used a good lawyer or agent, you can consider that person. Another option is to research lawyers and agents. The most essential for choosing the immigration consultant is his skills experience and honesty to his profession.

2. Whichever migration agencies and lawyer offices you will consider, read online reviews about them. Conduct a consultation with three agents and lawyers you think will qualify and choose the best one among them.

3. Do you specialize in immigration work or its only one area of your practice? This is the first question to ask the potential agent or lawyer.

4. During consultancy meeting, bring your important documents and ask all your needed information. The agent or lawyer should give all the answers clearly. At first consultation that usually stays around 60 minutes, some of them give it free of charge.

5. Ask the agent or lawyer if he’s skilled in your required visa if you already know what type of visa you need.

6. You should know if your agent or lawyer is confident and honest in handling your case and he should include his reasons.

7. After your interaction with the agent or lawyer, you should think if he’s the right person to trust and worth to spend a lot of your time and money.

8. You should ensure the agent will inform you immediately if there would be any revision to the law during your processing time and about your filing status.

9. Make sure to have a written agreement between you and the agent or the lawyer that clearly stating all the things need to be done and attach your both signatures. About the payments, be careful reading the terms and schedule before giving your approval.

Responsive Website Design vs Adaptive Website Design

Responsive Website Design
  • It produces the highest sighting experience to a website; regardless what type of device will be used.
  • Fluid grids is a design that performs no matter what screen size for the highest glimpsing experience, using broad range of devices, from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors.

Adaptive Website Design
  • It contains many specific layouts for multiple screen sizes and the layout used base on the usage of screen size.
  •  The website identifies the type of device used and gives the pre-set layout for that device.
Difference of Responsive & Adaptive Website
  •  Responsive design is the more severe option to carry out since it needs extra attention to the site’s CSS and organization therefore for sure it will work well whichever sizes.
  • It’s very manageable to make some specific layouts for your website, rather than making one layout that will work in any screen size.
  • Responsive websites need only to load one layout that will work to all platforms.
  • Adaptive website requires loading all possible layouts however, for some situations, like the responsive site with 100 pages correlate to an adaptive site with 10 pages, adaptive will be much faster.
  • Adaptive site designs function only to many screens if the layouts are also matching them.
Based on the survey results, responsive website design is usually the best option to go with for your site because, it always works for whatever screen sizes, develops loading times and frequently more effort given is worthwhile.

For new or smaller websites that just beginning to establish and they need to restore their resources, adaptive website design might be much better choice.
