“I am a chemist specializing in the analysis of compounds that promote the elimination of cancer cells. A Spanish laboratory required my knowledge and experience, but they did not know how they could hire me as an Indian national. I had heard about Orience so I told them to contact them. They arranged not only my visa but also that of my wife and two daughters, who are now studying at the school in Madrid.”
