I highly recommend Gold migration for everyone that is in need of help with their partner visas.Migrating to another country to be with the one you love can be a scary and frankly very confusing process with all the forms and relationship evidence that needs to be presented to Immigration. Luckily for me and my partner, our agent Emad Khraim, made the process a lot easier by giving us the confidence to and clarity to know what to focus on at any given time.With his friendly demeanor, Emad was never more than a phone call or mail away and he was always quick to reply to any enquiries we had, big or small (or stupid). With his expertise he made sure that we were always up to date on the latest immigration law changes and what piece of relationship evidence we should prioritize on procuring next, making this daunting (and at times overwhelming) process a lot less stressfull than it could have been had we gone about it alone. All in all it has been a absolute pleasure working with Emad and I can confidently say that we've been well taken care of all the way through this journey.As of now writing this, me and my partner were a couple of days ago granted our partner visa and we can't thank Gold migration enough for all their help they've provided in getting us here.read more

I'd like to thank Walt Calis and the firm for their exceptional work on our partner visa.They made the process incredibly easy and made us feel comfortable regarding any questions we had.Our partner visa 820 was granted today and we are absolutely over the moon!After a few delays while trying to get a difficult police clearance, after everything was submitted, we still received the visa within 3 months which we never thought would be possible.If you have any doubt about going to Gold Migration, don't. We would never have been able to go through this process without them, and have the visa approved so quickly.Thank you and forever grateful!read more

Only 3 MONTHS from submission to approval for our Subclass 300 Marriage visa! It went beyond our expectations and Saemeh Ghasemi from Gold Migration was with us every step of the way. My partner and I chose this service after reading the many positive reviews and after I first met Saemeh via Zoom call, for our initial consultation. Saemeh is not only professional, but genuinely cares about her clients. We are so grateful we trusted Gold Migration and Saemeh Ghasemi - thank you!read more

I was recommended to go to Gold Migration Lawyers earlier this year by a family friend to get assistance in applying for my wife’s onshore partner visa. Walt Calis was our lawyer there and he was fantastic. He was very approachable, caring and incredibly dedicated in helping us with the visa application from the very beginning. We were successful in getting my wife’s partner visa granted surprisingly in just under 3 months from the time the application was lodged, which was amazing. I’m really grateful for Gold Migration lawyers, and in particular Walt Calis for his honesty, openness and dedication, and I highly recommend him and Gold Migration Lawyers in general to anyone that is looking for assistance in lodging a partner visa application.read more

My partner and I applied for Subclass 820/801 through Gold Migration Laywers and it was granted in less than a month. Whole process was streamlined and efficient. Big thank you to Emad, Ben and Kathryn.In the first consutaltion (face to face), Emad and Ben explained how the visa application process will be, including the expected timeframe. Preparing requirements were done via email communication. Emad provided us advice on documentations and ensured that we were on track.Before I had the first consultation I thought the application process would be tiring and time consuming. However, Gold Migration Lawyers made it so simple and easy!read more
