Taniel and Dr. Smith cover everything from the realities of the consulate application process and changing financial requirements, to new hurdles for family renewals and the latest shifts in immigration law. Plus, get Dr. Smith’s insider guidance on “consulate shopping,” managing paperwork, and what to do once your residency is approved.
