FAQ

Common questions about migration

A MARA-registered migration agent is a qualified professional registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority. Only registered agents can legally provide immigration assistance in Australia. Registration ensures agents meet education, knowledge and ethical standards.

Processing times vary significantly by visa type. Skilled independent visas (189) currently take 6-12 months. Partner visas take 8-16 months. Employer-sponsored visas typically take 3-6 months. We provide realistic timelines during your initial consultation.

Our initial visa eligibility assessment is completely free and without obligation. During this 30-minute consultation, we review your circumstances, discuss your options and provide a clear recommendation on the best pathway forward.

Yes. We regularly assist clients with visa refusals and cancellations. Depending on the circumstances, options may include appealing to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), judicial review, or lodging a fresh application addressing the reasons for refusal.

Not necessarily. Many visa subclasses can be lodged from offshore (outside Australia). Some visas, such as the partner visa, have both onshore and offshore streams. We work with clients worldwide via video consultation and secure document sharing.
