★★★★★I'm pleased to share my satisfaction services with Dipendra Fakira and his entire employees including Lucy. I've been referred to Compass immigration by a stranger. Dipendra explained the whole process regarding asylum and how they work. I have been with him since 2021 around May. The whole time, I could communicate with him without boundaries. He was always available to answer all my questions. He is the type of Solicitor that avail himself anytime. I remember one of my friends complaining that their solicitors ain't available and I was shocked, because with me, the door was always open. He even encouraged me to come visit the office anytime face to face. Dipendra followed up with Home office every month and provided feedback to me monthly. I mean what else could you ask for. He guided me even when i was called for an interview right to the end until my case was successful. I went for my interview and after two weeks I was granted 5 years Refugee Status. I will recommend anyone to use his service. He is a good listener and above all, i like the level of professionalism he shows. Regards Makopi Masemola.
