The Australian migration system is complex, and even small mistakes can lead to visa refusals. A registered migration agent helps you get the detail right, prepares your application to a professional standard, and saves you time and stress.

No migration agent can guarantee approval, as visa decisions are made solely by the Department of Home Affairs. What we can do is prepare a thorough, well-documented application that addresses the requirements the Department sets.

No. We do not provide, find, or arrange an employer or sponsor for you. Employer-sponsored visas require you to already have a genuine job offer from an eligible sponsoring business. Our role is to guide you and the employer through the visa process, not to supply the job or the sponsor.

The first step is to book a consultation through our website or by calling us. We'll assess your situation and explain the visa options that may suit you.

Processing times vary by visa type and by individual circumstances, and they change over time. The Department of Home Affairs publishes current global processing times, and we will point you to the figure for your subclass at your consultation. No agent can influence or speed up how long the Department takes.

If your visa is refused, we assess the reasons given in the decision and talk you through the options open to you. Depending on your circumstances that may mean lodging a new and better documented application, or applying to the Administrative Review Tribunal where a review right applies. Not every refusal carries a review right, so we check that first. Review deadlines are short and usually cannot be extended, so get advice quickly.

Yes. We help businesses sponsor skilled overseas workers and guide applicants through employer-sponsored visa options. Where we act for both the sponsoring business and the visa applicant, we tell each of you in writing about the potential conflict of interest and ask each of you to confirm in writing that you still want us to act.

We work across partner visas, skilled visas, employer-sponsored visas, student visas, visitor visas, ART applications and Protection visas.

Our fees vary depending on the visa type and complexity. We set out our fees clearly at your consultation, and you receive a written service agreement setting out the work and the fees before we act for you.

No, we offer consultations online and over the phone, so we can assist clients anywhere in Australia or overseas. We also offer face to face consultations at our Brisbane office at 320 Adelaide Street, Brisbane QLD 4000. These are by appointment only.

It depends on your current visa conditions. Some visas allow onshore applications, while others require offshore processing. We assess your situation and advise you accordingly.

Overstaying a visa has serious consequences. You become an unlawful non-citizen, and an exclusion period can apply that bars you from being granted certain visas for a set time. Your options narrow the longer the situation continues, so it is worth getting advice quickly rather than waiting.

Every case is different, but common approaches include gaining skilled work experience, studying in Australia, employer sponsorship, or state nomination. We can talk through the pathways that may apply to your occupation and circumstances.

Most visas require proof of English proficiency through an accepted test such as IELTS or PTE. The accepted tests and the scores required differ by visa, and the list of accepted tests changes, so we confirm what applies to your visa before you book a test.

You must show your relationship is genuine and ongoing, provide supporting evidence about your relationship, and meet health and character requirements. We help you identify and organise the strongest evidence available to you.

Yes. Under current Department of Home Affairs conditions, student visa holders can generally work up to 48 hours per fortnight while their course is in session, and without a limit when it is not in session. Students doing a Masters by research or a PhD are generally not subject to the cap once their course has started.

Work conditions can change. Check the conditions attached to your own visa on the Department's visa conditions tool.

You need a minimum of 65 points to meet the points test for the Subclass 189, 190 and 491. If your score is below that, you may be able to build it up through more skilled work experience, a better English test result, further study, or state nomination.

Meeting 65 points is the starting line, not the finish line. The Department states that even if you meet the minimum threshold, there is no guarantee you will receive an invitation to apply. Invitations go to the highest ranking candidates, so the score actually needed can sit well above the minimum and varies by occupation and by program year. We explain realistically where your score sits for your occupation.

There are various family visa options depending on your relationship. We assess your situation and explain the sponsorship routes that may be open to you.

Many visas require applicants to have adequate health insurance while in Australia. We tell you what applies to your visa and check it before lodgement.

A criminal record doesn't automatically mean visa refusal, but character requirements apply. We assess your situation and advise on the best approach.

Our principal, Suman Dua, is an Australian Registered Migration Agent (MARN 1800859) and also a New Zealand Licensed Immigration Adviser (Licence 202600739), so we can advise on both countries under one roof. We give honest, practical migration advice, we set out our fees in writing before we act, and we tell you plainly when a pathway is not realistic for you.
