The agent assisting me (Zehra Fattah) displayed great commitment and provided me with excellent service throughout the process.
We faced many challenges i.e. my remote work location with limited IT connectivity and postal infrastructure, frequent travels between countries, different time zones etc but both of us persevered.
I can suggest to SFM that a personilsed document be sent to each client after the initial contact has been made outlining all the requirements and documentation that will be needed to complete the process. This should help the client understand the process better and help him/her and their SFM agent to track outstanding documents throughout the process. At times the sheer volume of documents requested became overwhelming however Zehra keep motivating and encouraging me. THANK YOU
