“Destiny is not just a matter of chance; it is also a matter of choice”. Today, I can say this with both, a sense of fulfillment and at the same time a true sense of gratitude, the credit goes to the very proficient duo (Mr. Chris Johnston and Ms. Wendy Guan) at Work Visa lawyers, who handled my application for a Permanent Residency here in Australia.

I am not aware of the actual statistics and number behind how long it actually takes for an individual to be able to attain a PR here, but after having interacted with a sizeable group, who just like me came to Australia as an international student, I am convinced that for me it happened in record time. Yet, again the credit for this goes to this talented team who know it all.

I arrived in Adelaide in June 2017 as an international student and was granted a PR (subclass 190) in Nov 2019. As magical as It sounds, it truly was a perfect match of chance and choice, wherein the chance to have Chris evaluate my overall profile and skill sets to suggest a possible pathway to PR  while I was still a student and My choice to trust in him and his team’s competencies to make it come true.

Work Visa Lawyers and all its team members have a unique ability to strategize every case and achieve successful results. Their attention to detail and quality delivery of services is very reassuring. They are equally dedicated and invested in every application as the applicant themselves.

Last but not least, a special vote of thanks to Ms. Wendy Guan for demonstrating and delivering a strong working relationship and gaining my confidence through displaying professionalism, compassion and efficiency in all communications. She maintained a high degree of precision in executing and completing all tasks and also resolving issues well within time.

Very Well Done and Best Wishes for all your future endeavors.

Having tried a few other agents and doing it myself with no luck, a friend suggested trying Work Visa Lawyers as her family had received some great help in the past. After the first meeting my mind was put at ease and it was straight forward from there onwards. Wendy offered clear help and guidance on what documents I needed with an explanation as to why they were needed. Emails were responded to very fast (within the same working day) and a month later I had a state nomination and 6.5 months later I had PR in Australia. A lot faster than was expected and painless! I would highly recommend Work Visa Lawyers for any visa applications due to their professionalism and wealth of knowledge of the immigration systems, in particular SA. Thank you again Wendy and team.”

My application was for 489 visa and in spite of the relatively long time to wait for a migration authorities’ decision (~8 month), with Wendy’s help and her encouragement that was relatively painless period to wait. Wendy explained me in very details what to expect and what steps to take in order to move the process as efficiently as we can. Following her advice we have filled all necessary documents and then followed up with additional information requested. I would definitely recommend “Work Visa Lawyers” to everyone who wants to move to down under and is looking for a professional assistance to fulfill the requirements for such a life changing move.

Hello Chris

I would like to extent my sincere thanks to you and your team for the wonderful job you did in securing my work. Before I contacted work visa Lawyers, I have used another law firm that was not helpful after taking my first payment installment. When I looked for lawyers in south Australia on the MARA website, I came across work visa lawyers. My instinct after reading your profile give me the confidence to contact your firm. As they say the rest is history.

The professionalism you and your team showed during this whole process was amazing and the response time to all my questions was amazing. All I can say is that you delivered as promised during our first consultation meeting and I am grateful that your firm is as professional as you say. The guidance you gave on the visa type best suited for my work experience made all the difference.

I am more than happy to happy to recommend Work Visa Lawyers to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy immigration lawyers.

I will like to use this medium to Thank Chris & Katie for excellent job in securing my family our Permanent Residency visa 887.

I just checked on LinkedIn for few migration lawyers and after interviewing many I had a feeling to trust Chris to handle my application.

Chris was very meticulous and diligent with all the documentation. He has rare way of listening to clients and communicating the legal issues in a very clear and understandable way without necessarily complicating things.

Due to changes in processing time on DIBP, website, l was a bit worried but l was guided and advised in a very pleasant way. Chris and Katie will always be ready to return calls, reply e-mail and respond to questions to remove fear and anxiety.

I haven't met them in persons yet, but l can recommend them for anyone due to excellent service my family received.

Thanks to everyone in Work visa lawyers for friendly and awesome service!

Visa Type: Skilled - Independent (subclass 189) visa
Nominated Occupation: Software Engineer ANZSCO 261313
Date Visa Application Submitted: 30 January 2017
Date Visa Granted: 15 February 2017

I (was) granted my visa directly from Poland, without the need to even go to Australia for a single meeting, all via Skype and e-mail only.

Without the help of Christine, her expertise and in-depth knowledge about all the circumstances I would probably fail to obtain it before the deadline related to my age. The process was very intensive, and she kept her eye on it for all the time, making sure that every single paper (and there were a lot of them) is signed and written in just a right way.

All my family and I are very grateful for all the hard work she was done. What is precious, she also guided us after we obtained the visa with all the valuable hints about our rights, obligations and the ways we can reach Australia in the best possible way.

Best Wishes from me and my family

Visa applied for: Skilled Independent subclass 189

Nominated occupation: Software Engineer ANZSCO Code 261313

Date of visa application: 9 December 2016

Date of visa grant: 10 February 2017

I had the pleasure of working with Christine on 2 occasions - First time for my 457 visa sponsored by [employer’s name removed] and second time when I was applying for my skilled migration subclass 189.

Throughout the process of both the applications, she has been really pro-active, meticulous and really fast. Her attention to details and really good time management makes her stand out as an agent. Due to her extensive knowledge of the visa laws, she was able to guide us in the right direction, whenever we were doing something wrong. Also, her compassion and genuine care for the clients makes her stand out from other migration agents out there.

Both me and my wife highly recommend her for anything related to visas and migration. Wishing you all the best.

S.B. and family
