In their words

From first questions to life in Italy.

We just got our ERVs after a little over two months of waiting! The beautiful people at SMI found us a wonderful rental near Oristano when few were available. We also took the ERV course which prepared us very well for the successful visa submission. We can confirm that it was money well spent!
