What we offer
Our Sydney based law firm provides legal and migration consultancy services to corporate clients and to individuals of various nationalities.
We can guide you through complex application processes, handle the paperwork for you and present your case in the strongest possible way. We provide advice and assistance in preparing Australian visa applications through to visa approvals and representation in visa cancellations and appeals. We manage and deliver our immigration services by first determining your chances of a successful Australian visa grant through our pre-assessment forms. If you have special circumstances or if you are applying for a visa which is not covered by our preliminary assessment forms, we recommend that you attend our office or make an appointment call to discuss your situation.
We take pride in having achieved a 90% success rate since 1996 while maintaining comparatively low professional fees. In order to keep our success rate and maintain our credibility, we offer our migration services only to those who have passed our pre-assessment. This way, we do not sell dreams of Australian immigration. We make dreams a reality.
To add extra value to our quality services, we also provide you with a "One Stop Shop" for:
- Enrolment for courses in Australia for student visa applicants and TAFE NSW courses in the Philippines
- Conveyancing matters, when you buy or sell residential or commercial property or a business
- Rebate on Home Loans and re-financing facilities from among 26 banks and non-bank lenders through our affiliated mortgage broker; and
- Wills and Probate
Languages spoken: English, Filipino, Cantonese, Mandarin
