Today I got approved for the 10 year LTR work remote visa. It’s taken 3 months but I feel well worth it. Part of the long time was document issues on my end. it’s a lot of documents the right documents etc. And it’s not cheap but compared to Elite Visa it’s very cheap. The best part is no 90 reporting - amazing. Better than elite.

I want to thank Brandon Thurkettle who helped me with questions.

If someone has questions i would be happy to try to answer them
