Services | Migration Law

We assist with a broad range of matters, including partner and family visas, parent and child visas, visitor visas, student visas, graduate visas, skilled migration, employer-sponsored visas, regional pathways, citizenship, and visa refusals and reviews matters.

The onshore partner pathway includes subclass 820, while the offshore partner pathway includes subclass 309. Both are for the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Yes. We assist with parent visa advice, eligibility, preparation, and long-term strategy. Home Affairs notes that valid parent visa applications are assessed against core criteria and then placed in a queue where applicable.

Yes. We can advise on child visa pathways and related eligibility requirements. Australia has dedicated child and dependent child pathways within the family migration framework.

Yes. We assist with points-tested skilled visas, occupation eligibility, skill assessment strategy, Expressions of Interest, and invitation-based applications. SkillSelect is the Australian Government system used for expressions of interest in skilled migration.

Yes. We assist both employers and visa applicants with employer-sponsored pathways, including sponsorship, nomination, and visa strategy. 

Yes. We assist with student visa applications, document preparation, and strategy. Student visa holders may participate in an eligible course of study and can work up to 48 hours a fortnight when their course is in session.

Yes, although that moves beyond a simple divorce and may involve parenting or international family law issues. The Attorney-General’s Department notes that international family matters can significantly affect both parents and children.

Yes. We assist with Temporary Graduate visa pathways, including subclass 485. Home Affairs states that this visa allows eligible graduates to live, study and work in Australia temporarily after completing their studies.

Yes. We assist with citizenship by conferral, descent, and other eligible pathways. Home Affairs states that conferral and descent are the most common ways to become an Australian citizen.

Yes. We advise on refusals, review rights, and next-step strategy. Review matters for migration decisions are now handled by the Administrative Review Tribunal.

No. Review rights depend on the type of decision and the legislation applying to it. The correct next step needs to be assessed carefully and quickly because strict time limits can apply. The Administrative Review Tribunal and Home Affairs publish current review and migration process information, but the availability of review depends on the decision itself.

Processing times vary by visa category and by the circumstances of the application. Home Affairs publishes median and global processing information and notes that indicative timeframes are not guarantees.

Yes, we can help you understand likely visa application charges, but the Department’s Visa Pricing Estimator is the official tool for estimates.

Yes. We can advise on these pathways, including whether they are suitable and the likely queue implications. Home Affairs currently publishes very long estimated queue timeframes for some of these categories.
