The company was operating well and enjoying stable profits. Meanwhile, two sons of Mr. Chen attended to key schools in Mainland and thus the Chen couple wished to let their sons to receive a more broadened vision and a higher qualified education by immigrating to Hong Kong.

Mr. Chen decided immediately to submit for the immigration after the consultation and he provided Connexions with the requested documents and information. We submitted this case to the Immigration Department of Hong Kong on behalf of Mr. Chen.

The living environment and the pace in Hong Kong were different to the Mainland as well as rules and language. After Chen family got the visas, they would stay in Hong Kong from time to time every year and they would communicate with us on living matters when they need.

Two years later, Chen family had to renew their visa and appointed Connexions continuously. Meanwhile, Connexions started preparing the permanent resident verification for Chen family in order to get the permanent residence of Hong Kong and Hong Kong SAR passports.

Mr. Chen also hoped to transfer his sons to attend schools in Hong Kong.
