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).
