I contacted Gold Migration Lawyer in April this year (2024). On 30 August 2024 we received the fantastic news that our visas have been double granted. This is life changing for my partner. I would like to express our sincerest gratitude for the extraordinary time and work Gold Migration lawyers have done for us both (and a special shout out to our amazing lawyer Oliver Christiansen who helped make this possible with his support, expertise and professionalism, James Scott (our very first point of contact) and Aileen Chour-our last & bearer of great news). The professionalism, a friendly voice at the other end of the telephone line, the guidance and expert advice given was exceptionally outstanding and beyond words. Highly recommended without a doubt. Dreams do come true! Thank you for changing our lives Gold Migration Lawyers. Henry & Leonaread more

Justin and his team were AMAZING! My immigration agent had disappeared and only 1 month was left on my visa! I was very distressed. I reached out to Justin and I couldn’t have found better help! They’re extremely knowledgeable! In less than a month, they built a strong decision-ready application. My visa was granted within 3 months instead of 5! I cannot thanks Justin and his team enough for all their help and support! I would recommend them anytime without a doubt.read more
