Simon has provided consistently excellent professional advice and assistance to us over a number of years, including throughout our Partner visa journey. His knowledge, attention to detail and determination to make sure everything is prepared correctly and accurately gave us confidence at every stage. We have always trusted Simon to guide us through the process, explain what was required and make sure our applications were properly prepared and complete. Even after our visas were finalised, Simon has continued to be someone we are comfortable turning to when we have questions about Australian migration matters. When the time is right, I will also be looking to Simon to assist me with my Australian citizenship matter. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking for experienced and thorough migration assistance

Jon and Sarah

Partner visa applicant & sponsor — Subclass 820/801

Simon assisted me as an employer through the sponsorship, nomination and visa application process. There were a lot of requirements to work through, but Simon explained what was needed clearly and guided me through each stage. He was also very flexible with communication and worked around the demands of running my business, often speaking with me early in the morning before the shop opened. I always found Simon thorough, practical and easy to deal with, and I appreciated having someone who understood both the migration process and the pressures of running a business. I would happily recommend Simon to other employers needing assistance with sponsored migration.”

Eddie

Business owner, employer sponsor & nominator — Subclass 482

Simon assisted me with my Australian migration journey from my Distinguished Talent visa through to becoming an Australian citizen. From the beginning, he was knowledgeable, thorough and genuinely interested in understanding my background and circumstances. He took the time to learn about me so that my application could be presented as strongly and accurately as possible. Throughout the process, Simon communicated with clarity and precision. He explained what was required, responded promptly to my questions and helped me understand what was expected of me at each stage. My visa matter was not a straightforward one, but Simon approached it carefully and methodically, including responding to requests from the Department and making sure the necessary information and documentation were properly addressed. Years later, I was able to send Simon a photo from my citizenship ceremony and say, ‘Thanks for all you have done to get me here. I’m Aussie now.’ I am extremely grateful for Simon’s guidance and support throughout my Australian migration journey

Visa & citizenship applicant — Distinguished Talent visa (Subclass 124) → Australian citizenship

Simon assisted us with two Australian Visitor visa applications for close friends from Russia who were coming to stay with us in Australia. He explained what information and supporting documents were required, guided us through the process and made sure the applications were carefully prepared. We appreciated Simon’s thoroughness and the clear way he explained what was needed from us as the Australian hosts. The visas were granted and we were very pleased to be able to welcome our friends to Australia. We would happily recommend Simon to anyone needing professional assistance with an Australian Visitor visa.”

Mike and Pam

Australian hosts — Visitor visa (Subclass 600, Tourist stream)

My partner Michael and I were looking for a migration agent and a friend recommended Simon to us. We contacted him and explained the situation we were in. From our first contact with Simon, he provided us with appropriate advice, explained the risks we were facing at the time, and outlined the steps required to move the process forward. Simon supported us when we were struggling with the documentation and provided clear guidance on how to put the information together, which made the process easier. Our matter was certainly complex, and we went through a number of challenges along the way. Simon helped us navigate those challenges and overcome the obstacles we encountered. We are sincerely grateful for his support and guidance throughout the process and would recommend his services to anyone needing assistance with their migration situation in Australia.

Andres and Michael

Partner visa applicant & sponsor — Subclass 309/100

Simon assisted us with our Partner visa matter and later, assisted Erik with his Australian citizenship application. Throughout both processes, Simon was professional, thorough and clear about what was required. He made the process easy to understand, kept us informed and made sure everything was properly prepared at each stage. It was reassuring to have the same migration agent assist us through the Partner visa process and then continue helping Erik through to becoming an Australian citizen. We would happily recommend Simon to anyone looking for professional and reliable migration assistance.

Erik and Deanne

Partner visa applicant & sponsor — Subclass 820/801 → Australian citizenship

Simon has helped us through three different stages of the Partner visa process over a number of years. It has not always been an easy process, but Simon has been incredibly patient with us and has always taken the time to explain what needs to be done. He breaks things down clearly, deals with one thing at a time and makes what can feel like a very complicated process much easier to manage. We have relied on Simon’s advice and guidance throughout the whole journey and have always felt that he genuinely cares about getting things right for us. I am extremely grateful for all his help and patience over the years. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without him
