Background
Ms Tong, from Beijing, applied with her husband and two children. She wanted the family to live in Hong Kong long term.
Main concern
She worried about extensions after approval.
Our approach
We followed her case from application through approval to extension.
Process and outcome
She was approved in about 9 months and later extended smoothly.
Adviser’s comment
Arriving is only the start; smooth extensions build the years towards permanent residence.
