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.
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.
We gather and check the evidence, prepare the forms and the submission, and lodge the application through ImmiAccount.
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.
ART review periods for migration decisions are set by law and are generally strict. Whether a decision is reviewable, who may apply and the time available depend on the particular decision. If a review application is lodged outside the statutory period, the Tribunal may not have jurisdiction to deal with it.
If you have received a refusal or cancellation decision, send us the complete decision letter and the email or other notification by which it was sent. We can check the review rights, who may apply and the deadline that applies.
“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.
In Australia, immigration assistance can lawfully be provided by a registered migration agent, an Australian legal practitioner or, in limited circumstances, an exempt person. Exempt persons cannot charge for that assistance. You can check any agent’s registration free of charge on the OMARA register. Our own entry is linked in the footer of every page.
