Book a paid appointment
Booked time with an immigration advisor who reads a visa file the way a case file is read: the weak points found and fixed by us first, rather than by an entry clearance officer later.

Both are one to one with Ch. Bilal Rasheed, and both end with something written down. The longer one is for a file that has already gone wrong.

What a paid session covers
What you get
- An honest read on whether your plan is realistic.
- How the published rules apply to your own profile.
- The documents a strong file needs, and in what order.
- Where a previous refusal came from, and what it means now.
- Your questions answered, for the whole booked hour.
What it is not
- It is not a promise of a visa. Nobody can give you that.
- It is not legal representation before a visa authority.
- It is not a substitute for the official guidance, which changes.
- It does not replace a regulated adviser where one is required.
What to bring
- Your academic documents, with transcripts and certificates.
- Any English test result, or the date one is booked for.
- Proof of the funds you intend to rely on, and whose they are.
- Every refusal letter you have ever received, including the ones you think are unrelated.
- The questions you actually want answered, written down.
What you leave with
- A written summary of the next steps, which you keep.
- A document list in the order the file needs them.
- On a Complex Case Review, a risk level and a reapply plan.
- On a Complex Case Review, a 15-minute follow-up within 14 days.
- The fee adjusted against our full service if you proceed within 30 days.
Where paid advice is reserved to a regulated adviser
Ch. Bilal Rasheed is an immigration advisor in Pakistan and an ICEF-accredited education consultant. He is not registered with the UK Immigration Advice Authority (formerly the OISC), the CICC in Canada, OMARA in Australia, or the Immigration Advisers Authority in New Zealand.
Several countries reserve paid immigration advice to their own licensed advisers. Canada is the clearest: section 91 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows only an authorised representative to advise or represent anyone on an application for a fee. Sessions touching those countries are limited to general information about how the system works and what the published requirements are, and anything beyond that is referred on to an authorised representative.
Fees, and where they go
The fee is taken at the last step of the booking, by transfer to the company account. No card is taken on this website.

Questions about booking
What is the difference between the packages?
Time and depth. The Expert Session is 30 minutes on Zoom and ends with a written summary of your next steps. The Complex Case Review is 45 minutes, your documents are read before the call, and you get a written assessment with a risk level and a reapply plan, plus a 15-minute follow-up within 14 days.
Can I get advice without booking a session?
No. Guidance on your own case is a booked session, however short the question looks. The enquiry form and WhatsApp are for reaching the office, arranging a booking and asking about fees or timings. The guides on this site are free to read and cover the published rules in detail.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer to the Borders & Bridges company account at MCB Islamic Bank. The details are on this page with a copy button on each, and again at the last step of the booking. No card is taken on this website. Transfer the fee and attach the receipt, and the slot is held.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Message the office on WhatsApp as early as you can and the slot will be moved where there is time to do so. Please do not treat a started booking as a confirmed one until you have a confirmation.
Will you guarantee me a visa?
No, and nobody honestly can. The decision belongs to the visa officer, who applies the rules to the evidence in front of them. What a session buys you is an honest read of your profile and a file built the way the rules ask for it.
Can you advise on a Canadian application?
Only in general terms. Section 91 of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows only an authorised representative to give paid advice or representation on an application, and Ch. Bilal Rasheed is not a CICC licensee. A session can explain how the system works and what the published requirements are. Anything beyond that is referred on to an authorised representative.
Is the session in person or online?
Sessions are held one to one on Zoom, so they work the same from Lahore, Karachi or Dubai. The link is emailed to you once the booking is confirmed.
What should I have ready before the session?
Your academic documents, any English test result, proof of the funds you intend to rely on, and every refusal letter you have ever received, including ones you think are unrelated. A refusal you leave out is the one that causes trouble later.
General information, not advice on your case
