How it works
What happens when you engage us.
Step 01
Talk to us
Book a consultation. We look at your actual situation – your visa history, your documents, your timing – and tell you what is available and what is not.
Step 02
Advice and scope in writing
If we take the matter on you get a written service agreement setting out the work, the fees and the disbursements before any of it starts.
Step 03
We prepare and lodge
We gather and check the evidence, prepare the forms and the submission, and lodge the application through ImmiAccount.
Step 04
We deal with the Department
Requests for further information, health and character, and the deadlines attached to them. You hear from us when something needs your answer.
You will always know what you are paying and what for. The fees and the scope of work go into a written service agreement before the work starts, and you get an itemised invoice and a receipt for money received. That is what the Code of Conduct requires, and it is how this practice is run.
Who you are dealing with
I came here as a student in 2007.
“I know firsthand the struggle … the paperwork, the waiting, the uncertainty about what comes next for you and your family. But I never gave up, and worked hard, did everything I could, and finally got PR in 2011.”
Arash studied migration law in 2013. The practice is run from Southport on the Gold Coast, and he is the person you will be dealing with.
