My case was in a critical condition when I approached Christopher Johnson. My previous lawyer from another firm had reached a dead end. Chris identified error in Judgement. As I type this review, I am reliving that dreadful experience.Through it all, work visa lawyer became my family. I have experienced a kind of support that is impossible to explain. Chris got me a brilliant English tutor, pointed me to the right direction and followed through. I am still soaking in my current PR status. Wendy was of great assistance in the last stages of this long journey. The ladies at the reception were incredible. All this was manageable financially, with an option of Payment plan, that came in handy. Work visa lawyers I am truly grateful!
A year ago, when I started the process of visa application, after completing my skills assessment, I realised that the visa procedures and requirements had changed considerably. I did not have the required guidance from any of my acquaintances who had completed the process due to the changes in visa policies. My own research on the new regulations had me going around in circles. I was in touch with several local agents in my country until my Australian friend suggested Work Visa Lawyers, Adelaide. I got in touch with them and booked an initial appointment online as I was living overseas. Right from the initial appointment, I was given a clear picture of the situation, process, and all my available visa options. I was also guided towards the procedure of garnering the requisite points. Together, we were able to zero in on a suitable visa option for me. They are thoroughly professional and meticulous in their paperwork and I was given a step by step guidance throughout the process. They were prompt to respond to my queries and I was genuinely surprised by their ability to guide me in handling the paperwork even in the country where I live. They are thorough in their research and handheld me through the whole process which would have been very stressful otherwise. In my view, getting such professional help is paramount for a successful visa outcome in an ever-changing, regulatory scenario. This not only saves us valuable time but also vastly reduces the stress involved in the whole affair to a great extent. A special shout-out to Wendy without whose help I could not have done this successfully. She patiently and promptly responded to my umpteen queries and lengthy emails amicably. I would gladly recommend Work Visa Lawyers, Adelaide to anyone who is looking for help with an Australian visa.
After moving to South Australia for work in 2015, I spent 18 months on a work-sponsored visa. After this time, I knew Adelaide was where I wanted to stay and that I needed to seek professional counsel to assist me in the best route of entry. Given that this was a serious investment in my future, I searched for the best possible assistance to navigate the very confusing world of Australian Visas. My research indicated that Work Visa Lawyers were the industry leaders in South Australia. Since making this decision, the team at Work Visa Lawyers have surpassed my expectations every step of the way. They have been fantastic communicators and picked up on many details that otherwise would have been overlooked. Most importantly, they were by my side through a lengthy and complicated process and saw me through to a successful outcome that would not have been possible without their expertise and guidance. I am delighted to recommend Chris and the team at Work Visa Lawyers.
Our own world came crashing down on us when our PR application was refused after a 4 years wait. To make matters worst not a single lawyer we spoke to was willing to take on our case in filing an AAT appeal. We were bracing for the worst. To be kicked out of this country & to restart life all over again from scratch. This was until we spoke to Work Visa Lawyers. When others we seek help from have shut their doors on us, they diligently reassessed our application all over again & provided advise on how the AAT appeal may be lodged successfully. Our first landing in Australia was in Dec 2013. All in all it took exactly 6 1/2 years for a AAT decision & the subsequent PR grant to be finally given. If you are sharing the same predicament now, there is no escaping the harsh reality. The wait for an outcome is going to be a long, hard and uncertain one. Above it all, you have to have absolute trust & confidence that you have appointed the best to represent you and you are in very good and able hands. Throughout our dealings with Work Visa Lawyers, Chris Johnston, Luke Edwards and the entire team have demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Guiding us hand in hand from the very instant they took up our case. It was certainly a very long drawn journey beginning from the preparation & submission of the AAT appeal, to pre-hearing preparations and right through to the defence & representation during the hearing itself. There was never any shortage of support & empathy in helping us through all the many challenges & difficult times we faced by being prolonged bridging visas holders pending an outcome. All their endearing efforts finally paying off and culminating with a successful AAT decision. Our journey now continues here in Australia all thanks to Work Visa Lawyers commitment to excellence and for making it all happen for us. We are eternally grateful for all their devotion & hard work in helping us achieve our dreams. We have no hesitation at all in recommending & vouching for them as your one & only migration lawyer of choice.
Finally received my permanent residency thanks to Work Visa Lawyers ! Luke (and all the team!) did an amazing job. They were always available whenever I had a question (and I had sooo many) but never made me feel like I was asking too much questions. I didn’t have an easy case but they managed to have it approved ! If you want to be safe with your visa, go with them. I hired a cheap and not caring lawyer the first time without knowing anything and it was a BAD idea. It’s your future, be safe and go with the best you can get ! Thank you again!
I called them 2 weeks ago to ask few questions and see if I can make an appointment. It was important they are not very busy so they can give me the time. They said they're busy but they make the time for clients. They told me they'll call me back and to make an appointment and they never did. (not a great sign for me to be honest). Session with an agent cost 250$. The 250$ can be used as credit if the client decided to use other services. I never had the chance to use any of their services, I chose them because they were close to my house.
I have visited some other migration agent as well, but found Work Visa Lawyers most promising and affordable as well. Proceed with them without knowing anything about their service quality but later on I found they are just amazing. Especially Luke Edwards was so helpful that I can’t even express myself enough. He was helping in every stage of application process and arranging proper documents. Thank you all guys, for your great helps, now me and my loving family is together within so short time.
