Reza’s approach
Strong immigration files begin with accurate strategy.
The objective is not to fit every client into a program. It is to understand the client’s real position before any application is prepared.
That philosophy forms the immigration side of Synova’s broader strategy-first model.
What an accurate strategy considers
- Whether the client qualifies
- What risks exist
- What evidence is available
- Whether another pathway is stronger
- How the application should be presented consistently and transparently
Beyond work
Outside the office
Outside his professional work, Reza enjoys playing electric guitar, rock music, tennis and football.
