Immigration processes may be long, tiring, and at times, very confusing - not to mention costly! Sometimes the interpretation of legislations and regulations may prove to be misinterpreted, and at times people act based on such misinterpretations. Why not allow us do the hard work for you, so that you may have more piece of mind and see that we can make your visa process a breeze!
If it has been a long time dream of yours to live in Australia, read on and find out how we can help you realize it!
We provide prompt, professional advice and a free appraisal of your chances of success before any application is lodged.
Australian immigration law is complex and changes frequently. We can assist you through this legal maze by advising on whether you are eligible for a visa and the information that you will need to provide. We guarantee a professionally prepared visa application which will maximise your chances of success.
Our principal Australian Registered Migration Agent Sergio Tonin (MARN 0530901) is a former Senior Officer with the Department of Immigration (1985-2000) and Senior Skilled and Business Migration Manager for the Government of South Australia (2000-2005). Sergio has over 20 years immigration experience and able to streamline the process in a cost effective way.
At AVA we are bound by the Migration Agent's Code of Conduct in all dealings with clients and we also are full members of the Migration Institute of Australia. We offer a no obligation free appraisal of your chances of making a successful application. We will only accept you as a client if we think your application has good prospects of success.
It is important that you make a valid application at the time of application lodgement and that your application meets all the migration legislation requirements at time of an Immigration Case Officer deciding the visa application. At AVA we ensure that your visa application is prepared and presented so as to meet both time of application and time of decision criteria. We do however, emphasise that we are unable to guarantee a successful visa application as there may be a number of factors as to why an unfavourable decision may result e.g. failure of character or health checks, providing false or misleading information with your application etc.
If you require information or have any queries about the immigration process, please contact one of our advisers. You can contact us by telephone, email, post, fax or arrange a personal meeting by appointment at our offices.
