A migration agent isn’t just someone who moves your documents from one pile to another. We are the experts responsible for your future, dedicating maximum effort to make Australia your home as quickly as possible.
Today, I would like to share one of our recent cases, which crearly demonstrates the complex nature of our work and the level of responsibility of the Yulia Moiseeva & Associates team for those migrants who entrust us with their future.
So, this couple approached me for help approximately 1.5 years ago during the Christmas holidays—a time when the whole world is on break, but your humble migration agent is always working hard for benefits of her clients. At that moment, their case was already being reviewed in the tribunal and was close to failure.
Overview
A young couple arrived in Australia a few years ago as students (in 2018). The main applicant completed a 2-year course in accounting and received a Graduate visa (in 2020), which provided the couple with an additional 2 years in the country with full work rights. The main applicant secured a great job and planned to apply for a permanent employer sponsored visa, but he simply lacked the work experience required for this visa, so they decided to be smarter than the system.
In mid-2022, the secondary applicant applied for a student visa to study English for 12 months, after four years of living and working in Australia… And you ask, where’s the logic? The migration officer didn’t find it appealing as well and refused the student visa.
At that point, the couple didn’t lose hope and applied for tribunal appeal to buy time, stay in the country legally, and continue obtaining work experience. They have requested for our professional support in December 2022.
The Process
We started developing hypotheses, crafting a strategy for the case, and gathering evidence. Every three months, we secured another bridging visa (BVE) for the couple, ultimately obtaining about 13!!! visas along our time working on this case. Our ex-graduate (now a dependent applicant in the ministerial case) kept working, and we even secured a nomination for a 186 visa, confirming the expertise and demand of his professional skills in Australia.
Everything was going according to plan until the main applicant suddenly and unexpectedly left Australia moving to home country due to family circumstances in early 2024. At that point, our hearts stopped, and we almost didn’t brief checking IMMI Account for case updates 😱 Because under such circumstances the Minister could have immediately refused the application and not considered our case any further.
The Result
About six months later, we received two brand-new graduate visas (485) valid until July 2026! This means full work rights, the overseas applicant may now return, family to be reunited, and the couple will have enough time to secure a sponsored PR visa with no rush or stress!
I’m genuinely happy for our clients, for the entire team who worked on the case, and for myself! This is another successful case in my ministerial intervention collection: my personal success rate is 4 out of 5.
