So you have decided to look at the possibility of living in another country? Moving yourself and sometimes your family to a new life is not an easy step. You need professional help and guidance; in the same way you would consult a lawyer to represent you in legal matters or an accountant in financial matters it makes sense to consult the experts in immigration matters.
Using a Migration Agent relieves you of much of the stress and is more effective, when you deal with a competent, experienced and honest migration consultant you maximise your chance of a successful outcome.
A migration agent can make a preliminary assessment of your chances of success before you spend money on an application that may not pass the immigration process.
We facilitate the process by ensuring the correct visa is applied for in the first place - potential migrants can waste valuable resources (cash and time) in making the wrong decisions. For example, an application may only be made under one visa or migration category at any one time. An application which is declined under one category will not be considered under another. So, if a fresh application is required, it means new documentation and another fee.
The Immigration Department (DIMIA, www.dimia.com.au) frequently make changes to the legislation, if you are not privy to the details of these changes and when they will occur you could have problems with your application.
Using a Migration Agent takes out much of the stress and is more effective, when you deal with a competent, experienced and honest migration consultant you maximise your chance of a successful outcome.
Given the advantages of dealing with a migration agent what should a client look for in appointing an agent? All agents operating in Australia must be registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority. In March 1998 the Australian Government delegated the registration responsibility to the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA). www.themara.com.au
Further to the registration a professional will also be a member of the professional body: Migration Institute of Australia; MIA www.mia.com.au this registration ensures all changes to the immigration regulations are reported to the Migration Agent in a timely manner so they offer the most up to date information to their clients.
As a migrant myself (from the United Kingdom) I am an authority on the subject:
Having arrived here less than ten years ago I am proud of now being able to call myself an Australian!
