Immigration and Residency: frequently asked.
Do I need to speak Ukrainian to live in Lviv?
No — you can navigate professional and administrative life with English, especially with us as your interface. Learning Ukrainian is rewarding and we connect clients to schools when they want it.
What is the difference between TRP and PRP?
A TRP is issued for a specific legal ground and its validity depends on that ground. PRP also requires a qualifying ground at the application stage. Once granted, permanent residence is generally not tied to continuing that initial ground; the card itself is issued for 10 years and can be exchanged.
Can I move my immigration case mid-way to West Estate?
Yes. We frequently take over partially advanced cases. We start with a privileged review of where things stand and where the risks are.
