11. The client should notify Pathway International of each and every communication received by him/her from the processing visa office-in writing or via phone-immediately of receiving such a message. Besides, the client shall notify the said immigration consultancy of each and every communication, both,via written form and via phone-undertaken by the client, straight with the involved visa office immediately of such a contact.

The client will inform Pathway International about every news involving a change of housing/mailing address, educational/specialized credentials, change of matrimonial status/service or company, newly born kids or any police/unlawful case after the submission of the petition and while the processing is going on till the time of the discharge of Visa / Residence Permit. The client’s inability to do the same will only show that no refund at all is outstanding.
20. The client will appear for an IELTS/other language test and achieve a minimum individual total of the group in every given four appraisal factors–read, write, speak & listen–as appropriate for him/her and as per the requirement of the Visa Issuing Authority/Assessment Body.

23. There are certain countries which have a cap system, and hence the approval of Visa/Green Card/Permanent Residence is subject to the cap not reached for that year. The client may have the required points as required by the immigration authorities of the specified country, but he/she still may not get the Visa/Green Card/Permanent Residence if the cap has been reached for that year. Failing to get a Visa/Green Card/Permanent Residence because of the cap limit cannot be a reason for claiming a refund, and client fully understands the same.
