Services

We provide all legal services including complete migration services in business migration, skilled migration, family unity and student visas.

We are a firm of lawyers in the city of Melbourne. Our intimate knowledge of migration law is essential for a successful application. We attend seminars frequently to keep abreast of the latest changes in migration law. Knowledge of all the latest Acts, regulations, gazette notices and procedural notices is required before submitting an application. It is not enough to simply fill in the form as best as you can and hope for the best. Appeals to the Federal Court have been severely restricted so it is now more important than ever to ‘get it right’ in the first place.

We will consult with you, assess your paperwork and suggest the best method available for you to be successful with your application. We will complete all relevant documents, apply for ancillary reports and lodge these with the necessary departments.

We can assess the strength or likely success of your application. For a payment of only Au $350, we can determine the complexity of the case. This will then enable us to give you an estimation of our costs for the visa application. Our costs are determined after we assess your application and determine the complexity of the case.
