Ivanna at Southern Cross Visas has been absolutely exceptional throughout my Australian immigration journey. Starting in 2019, I worked with Ivanna through two employer-sponsored Subclass 482 visa applications (TSS), navigating all associated sponsorship and visa requirements. She then supported my Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme permanent residency application in 2024 and multiple Bridging B applications while waiting for 186 processing. Ivanna navigated and prepared me for the complexity of each stage with an impressive depth of knowledge and professionalism. Employer-sponsored migration involves a huge amount of detail, from occupation and eligibility requirements through to employer nominations, documentation, sponsorship arrangements and the requirements for transitioning from a temporary 482 visa pathway to permanent residency. Ivanna understood the intricacies of my circumstances and guided me through each challenge with clarity and confidence. Ivanna was meticulous with all applications, documentation and supporting evidence. Her attention to detail was outstanding. Ivanna consistently demonstrated an exceptional understanding of Australian immigration law and employer-sponsored visa pathways. More importantly, she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. We are incredibly grateful to Ivanna for helping us navigate what could otherwise have been an extremely stressful and complicated process. I highly recommend Ivanna and Southern Cross Visas to anyone considering migration to Australia. Exceptional knowledge, professionalism, communication and support from start to finish. Thank you immensely, Ivanna!

We are incredibly thankful to Alfonso from Southern Cross Visa and Migration Services, for helping us with our partner visa application. We had tried different agencies before, but nothing compares to the level of service Alfonso provided. He clearly outlined all the requirements, explained every step, and gave us realistic timeframes that were easy to follow. His guidance was thorough, organised, and always reassuring. Alfonso kept us updated regularly and sent reminders to keep us on track. Thanks to his professionalism and genuine care, our visa was approved, and we were literally jumping with excitement. We will definitely go through with them again on the next step of our application. Thank you, Alfonso, for looking after us so well. Choosing you was truly the best decision we made.

I would like to sincerely thank Ivanna for her extraordinary support and guidance throughout this process. My case was particularly complex, and every lawyer or migration agent I consulted initially had no clear idea of how to proceed or what pathway might be available to me. Ivanna was the only person who took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and find a viable pathway forward. She was incredibly organised, proactive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. I am extremely grateful for her professionalism, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond. Her expertise and support made a significant difference throughout what was otherwise a very challenging process. I would highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for someone who is not only highly knowledgeable in her field, but also genuinely invested in helping her clients.

I'm very happy with the immigration service and support I received from Alfonso Throughout my pathway to permanent residency. As a physiotherapist, choosing the right visa was very important, and Alfonso provided great advice, ongoing support, and excellent follow-up throughout the process. After around 2 years, I was finally invited to apply, and Alfonso made sure all the paperwork was lodged correctly and on time. I really appreciate his professionalism, communication, and support. Thank you Alfonso, for helping me achieve my permanent residency!

Recently underwent the process of getting the 482 sponsorship visa and was recommended Ivanna. Was a great decision and couldn’t recommend her enough, she left no page unturned and insured myself and my partner had all documents needed for the visa. She was very helpful throughout the whole process and can now happily say my visa has been granted!

I had an excellent experience with Ivanna throughout my sponsorship visa process. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive during every step of the application. My visa has now been approved, and I’m truly grateful for all the guidance, patience, and hard work that went into my case. She always answered my questions clearly and made the whole process much less stressful. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for trustworthy and efficient immigration assistance.

A friend recommended Ivanna to me and I'm so glad they did. I came to her with a complicated visa situation, and she immediately put me at ease. She explained my options clearly, recommended the best path forward and guided me through the whole process. She was always quick to respond and genuinely cared about my case. Everything worked out thanks to her, and I honestly can't thank her enough. Highly recommend!
