On two separate occasions Schlun & Elseven supported me, specifically Christos Sotiri, helped me navigate the visa process. Christos provided a reassuring presence, he answered every question promptly, helped me navigate difficult situations, and gave me a peace of mind that I will be eternally grateful for. I will certainly be recommending their services to anyone in a similar situation, and whether you contract their direct support or not, they are an invaluable resource to anyone navigating immigration in Germany. And if you have the opportunity to work with them directly, I say take it. I know it can be daunting when you first set out to look online for resources and support you can trust, but I can give them my full-fledged endorsement.

I had an excellent experience with Schlun & Elseven during my Niederlassungserlaubnis (permanent residence permit) application process. Christos Sotiri provided clear, professional guidance and carefully reviewed my case. He suggested several additional supporting documents that significantly strengthened my application and helped avoid unnecessary delays. Thanks to his expertise, attention to detail, and strategic advice, my application was successfully reviewed within just two weeks.
