– Founder & Director of Janine & Co Immigration Specialist
Moving to a new country can be considered one of the most significant challenges in life. Leaving behind a familiar and comfortable home, stepping into an unknown land, and adapting to a new living environment can be overwhelming. There may be a lack of support and guidance around, leading to feelings of confusion and worry.
Janine Miu, the founder of Janine & Co Immigration Specialist, is a UK barrister who holds a Master of Laws from City, University of London, and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Lincoln. Her company has been providing immigration visa services for the UK, EU, and Australia for the past ten years.
Her motivation for starting her own company and providing related consultancy services stems from her genuine care for people. “Since our establishment, we have always embraced the principles of ‘heart-to-heart’ communication and ‘fulfilling dreams,’ silently providing professional and caring services to those who intend to immigrate to the UK, hoping to help those in need,” says Janine Miu.
Having worked in the field of immigration services for many years, Janine deeply understands the courage required to take that first step towards immigration. She also realizes why people can easily get lost in the vast ocean of information.
In addition to her work, Janine has been actively using her expertise and experience to provide accurate information to the public through her company’s social media platforms. Her professional services have been sought after by both local and international media for interviews, including Reuters, Bloomberg, BBC, Financial Times, The Guardian, Voice of America, ViuTV, RTHK, Commercial Radio Hong Kong, South China Morning Post, Ming Pao, and Sing Tao Daily.
Apart from media interviews, Janine has also published her own works, including the following co-authored books:
– “Chasing Every Moment in Life: An Interpretation of Immigration to the UK 101” (2018)
– “Stories of Hong Kong People Immigrating to the UK with the Same Aspirations” (2020)
