The Benefits of using a Registered Migration Agent
- Registered Migration Agents are obliged by law, to undertake continual professional development to stay abreast of legislative changes to Immigration policy and law.
- Registered Migration Agents must abide by the Migrations Agents Registration Authority: Download the Code of Conduct — please take the time to read the code.
- Registered Migration Agents are formally instructed by industry professionals eg: Trades Recognition Australia ~ Accounting Authorities ~ Vetassess ~ Engineers Australia who reinforce their requirements and discuss case studies, a huge benefit when we are assisting you the client at the skill assessing stage of your application.
- Registered Migration Agents are instructed on upcoming program changes, new visa subclasses to be introduced, visas that will be extinguished, visas that will change in complexity.
- Onshore agents can and do speak with your skill assessing officer or your case officer to ensure that your file is progressing in a positive manner. It is not unusual for case officers to phone Australian based migration agents and discuss a point, often resulting in an immediate decision, ie: visa granted.
- Onshore agents are on the ground, in real time to solve and resolve issues with assessing authorities, State Governments and the Department of Immigration. This could include, missing documents, late decisions and confused messages from one government section to another.
- Onshore agents have access to the labour market, we know requirements within the regions, we know who is looking for specific skills and offering employer sponsorship if this is a requirement of your particular skill. There are massive projects being developed and we make it part of our business to know what employment opportunities will be available in the future.
- Based in Australia in the same time zone we negotiate and deal with State Sponsorships on your behalf.
- Onshore agents are accessible to your family members if a family sponsorship and assurance of support (parent visa) is part of the process.
- Visa decisions are made in Australia for all skilled, parent and business visas, the obvious place for your registered agent to be seated.
- Our office is open into UK business time from Monday – Thursday for your convenience.
