Evgenia Slobodkina
Initially, I planned to compile my case on my own, but I found myself too anxious and needed some guidance. Although I was familiar with the Global Talent Visa requirements, I wasn’t always sure how to apply them to my own situation. I began drafting some documents, but soon my impostor syndrome kicked in, leaving me with doubts and uncertainty about how to present myself.
Before I decided to go with Natasha, I had another consultation with one little agency, and they recommended me to add some 'classic' evidences to the case, which included writing several articles, doing mentorship and speaking at conferences. Natasha, on the other hand, was experienced enough to see how we can present the achievements I already had. To be honest, it was a relief that I didn't have to do any additional work and, as it turned out, it truly wasn't necessary.
What first appealed to me about Natasha was her individualized approach. Instead of offering generic recommendations like many agencies do, she was highly attentive to the specifics of my case. She is always open to dialogue, presenting her suggestions with solid reasoning, while also being receptive to my feedback. She made sure to incorporate my remarks into the narrative, all while maintaining the essential direction of the story.
Another thing I deeply appreciate is that Natasha not only understands the requirements and process but also has extensive experience preparing and reviewing dozens of cases. This hands-on experience means she knows how caseworkers typically interpret the guidelines, which was invaluable in shaping my application.
Finally, what I’d like to highlight is her constant availability. Even on weekends, she was willing to answer questions and prepare documents. This flexible approach allowed us to prepare the case within two months.
