3. Does Australia practice a discriminatory immigration policy?
No. Australia does not practice a
discriminatory immigration policy. Anyone from any country can apply to
immigrate to Australia, regardless of his/her ethnic origin, gender,
colour or religion. The White Australia Policy was got rid of in the
1950s and since then there have been thousands of immigrants from all
over the world arriving in Australia to make it their home. Today
Australia is a truly multicultural country accepting immigrants from all
corners of the world to contribute to the richness of their land.
4. What is the best time to apply?
The best time to apply is 'NOW'. The
migration act and regulations constantly review their policy making it
increasingly more difficult to migrate.
5. How do I begin the process of obtaining a visa to
Australia?
The first step is to complete our
Free Assessment Form.
Once we have your details, you will be sent a brief statement regarding
the viability of your application for an Australian visa.
6. What if I don't know how to answer a question on
the Assessment form?
Ideally, you should fill in the relevant
questions to the best of your knowledge. However, if you don't know how
to answer a question or two on the Assessment form you may leave blank
or contact us by phone or by e-mail and we will guide you through the
process. Please note that the more detailed your application, the more
accurately we are able to assess your likely success in receiving a
visa.
7. Would I be eligible to migrate even if my
qualifications and work experience are in different fields?
We will evaluate your case meticulously
after your submission of the assessment form to us. Once we have your
details, you will be sent a brief statement regarding the feasibility of
your application for an Australian visa.
8. How long does it take to process my application?
The time it takes to process an
application is dependant upon the complexity of the case. As each
individual's situation is different, it is therefore impossible to give
a time frame as to when an application for a visa or for permanent
residency will be finalized.
Although it is
important to note, that there are many factors which can impede the
progress of an application. These factors include:
However at Aussie Migration Consultancy
we will work diligently with you in gaining the best
outcome.
9. Can you guarantee that my migration application
will be approved?
We will not accept your instructions to
proceed with your application unless we are convinced that your
application has a good chance of being approved. We will endeavour to
ensure that your application is presented in the best way along with a
legal submission covering all aspects of the migration regulations and
the procedures advice manual PAM3, that the visa officers use.
10. Can I get a refund of the fees paid if my
migration application is refused?
In the unfortunate event of a skill
assessment or migration applications being rejected or refused, we would
not charge our client any further fee quoted at the time of signing an
agreement. So you would not incur any further loss. We charge our fee in
installments and only when our client clears a stage an invoice is
raised for the next stage of the application process. We would not
advise you to apply, if your chance of succeeding is not good.
Any fee paid to the
skills assessment bodies or the Department of Immigration would not be
refunded to you. For more details, you could request for a sample
agreement from us.
11. What are your fees?
Our fees are based on the amount of work
required to get your application to the stage of being assessed by the
Australian Immigration Department. It is difficult to give estimates of
the fees involved in finalizing an application, as no two cases are the
same. Once we have assessed your situation we will send you a schedule
of our service fees.
12. What is your mode of payment?
For Malaysian applicant, we accept direct
cash bank-in to our bank account or crossed cheque issued to our company
name. For Non-Malaysian applicant, due of security concerns we will only
accept payment via a bank draft or telegraphic transfer. You will
receive information regarding our payment methods and fee structure
after we have assessed your application.
13. What kind of personal privacy do I get?
We take seriously the issue of privacy.
That is why we give you the option of emailing, faxing or posting your
particulars to us. We will not under any circumstance allow your private
and confidential information be handed to a third party, unless that
which is required under Australian migration law. Your personal
information will not be sold onto other business unless with your prior
consent.
14. What sort of assistance we get from you to
settle in the new country?
We offer settlement advice for all our
clients. This includes information about the job market in Australia,
finding accommodation, getting a tax file number, applying for driver's
license, preparation of resumes, etc. The whole aim is to make your
initial period of settlement in the new country as comfortable as
possible.
