I recently worked with Bilal Ahmad from Gold Migration on my protection visa matter, which was rejected last year by Department, due to non-satisfactory grounds and proceeded to the Tribunal.Due to the high‑risk nature of the case, not many lawyers were willing to take chances with my case not to affect their records.I am extremely grateful for the successful outcome and truly believe that Bilal’s expertise and dedication played a major role in achieving this result. As the whole process was sorted and positive outcome was received within matter of months .From the beginning, Bilal took the time to understand the complexities of my protection claims and the difficult circumstances. He approached every part of my case with professionalism, empathy, and deep knowledge of protection‑based legislation and Tribunal processes.Throughout the entire journey, Bilal:⦁ helped me organise and present my evidence clearly and consistently⦁ prepared strong written submissions addressing credibility, country information, and all relevant legal criteria⦁ explained each stage of the Tribunal process in a calm and clear way⦁ supported me during an emotionally challenging time with patience and respectAt the Tribunal hearing, His advocacy ensured that my situation was fully understood and that the key facts and risks were communicated accurately and respectfully.Thanks to his hard work, the Tribunal accepted my protection claims and granted a positive decision. This outcome has changed my life, and I am incredibly thankful for Bilal’s dedication and professionalism.I highly recommend Bilal Ahmad and the team at Gold Migration to anyone seeking support with protection or refugee matters.

frequently asked questions
Who can be a Sponsoring Business for a TSS (482) Visa?
The Sponsor must prove that they are an eligible, legally established and genuine business in Australia. Ultimately, they need to provide evidence that they are a real company.
What are the stages for that lead to a TSS (482) Visa?
There are 3 stages. In the first stage, the business needs to become a Standard Business Sponsor (SBS). In the second stage, the business nominated a migrant for a particular eligible position within the business. In the third stage, the migrant applies for the visa.
Do I need to prove that I have two years experience to be eligible for a TSS (482) Visa.
Yes, you must. You need to provide evidence that you have at least two years of full time (or equivalent) experience in the nominated occupation. Some exemptions apply.
Would I be eligible for Permanent Residency after working 3 years full time for a TSS (482) Visa?
It depends. There are two stages in the ENS (186) Visa process, as your Sponsor will need to nominate you. Furthermore, you may only be eligible if your occupation was on the Medium to Long Term Occupations List (MLTSSL).
Can I change Sponsors halfway through my TSS (482) Visa?
Yes, you can. However, the new potential employer must successfully nominate you for the same position within the business. You are not allowed to work for anyone other than a Sponsor who have nominated you and it has been approved by the DHA.
What are the most common reasons for a Partner Visa refusal?
If insufficient evidence was provided to the DHA, didn’t respond to further requests from the DHA, if the Sponsor didn’t meet the eligibility criteria, the DHA wasn’t satisfied that the Position is genuinely required within the business, etc.
