Service # 2:
Telephone or Face-to-face Consultations

Clients who wish to attend one of our offices for a face-to-face consultation will  need to  contact us to pre-book the consultation. You will be informed of the fixed fee at the time you book your consultation, and asked whether you wish to proceed.

It is also easy to have a telephone consultation (in urgent cases, within 2-3 days of your request). So, as an emailer, if you wish to have a 'realtime' telephone  consultation with our chief Australian immigration lawyer, you can do this by following these easy steps:

Step 1:    email us with your request for a telephone consultation, providing details about:

	your case; and
	a list of the questions you wish to discuss during the telephone consultation; and
	the approximate day and time you wish to have it.

Australian Immigration & Citizenship Law Advisers will then email you with the estimated time needed to discuss your case and your questions, and give you the fixed fee to be pre-paid by you before you can  have your consultation with our chief Australian immigration lawyer.

Step 2:    You will then need to make the payment as advised. After you make the payment, you need to advise us by email as to the payment details.

Step 3:    After we confirm payment has been made, we email you to make arrangements for us to telephone you for your telephone consultation. 

Step 4:    On the pre-arranged day and time, Australian Immigration & Citizenship Law Advisers will telephone you to conduct the telephone consultation.

Service # 3:
FULL, COMPREHENSIVE, TOTAL  -  Management of your Australian Immigration Case 'from start to finish'

For a reasonable fixed fee, we will FULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY  manage your entire Australian immigration matter for you (whether it is a Australian visa application to the Australian Immigration Office (DIMA), or an appeal case to the MRT (Migration Review Tribunal), RRT (Refugee Review Tribunal), AAT (Administrative Appeals Tribunal) or the Australian courts. That is, we will manage your Australian immigration case from when you engage us to when your application result is received. There are no hidden costs whatsoever.

Australian Immigration & Citizenship Law Advisers will be responsible for everything and will do everything for you including dealing with all third parties and any person or organization that has or could have anything to do with the success of your case. In this way, we are very different from other 'Australian migration agents' (our competitors) because as your Australian immigration lawyers, we can take on very much more responsibility than any non-lawyer migration agents can or are able to do for you.

These are the benefits you get:

• we sort and select out all important and relevant information in the process of informing, discussing and advising you;
  
  
• we give you a detailed legal Australian immigration assessment of your case and we advise you on the probability of obtaining the correct Australian visa to suit your indicated needs based on your information; (we also  advise you on legal options for obtaining other 'alternative' Australian visa/s that will allow you to do what you want to do in Australia);
  
  
• we advise you on any other legal strategies or work which should first be done before lodgment of the correct application; we obtain crucially important documents from third parties where necessary;
  
  
• we prepare for you all application papers for the agreed visa type (including all official forms and legal documents such as statutory declarations and affidavits) and we gather together all evidentiary documents needed in the application;
  
  
• we contact, discuss and arrange with all third parties (e.g. Accountants, psychologists, doctors, hospitals, employers, etc.) for the provision of 'expert' opinion which in our legal opinion are necessary for achieving success in your Australian application. (Usually this involves us entering into legal-technical discussions with these experts for some legal 'redesigning  of their papers to make them more relevant to the applied law. Their answers and reports will form the 'expert opinions' to be submitted along with the Australian visa application  forms and other annexures);
  
  
• we get you to check and then sign all papers including official Australian visa forms (after we are fully satisfied as to the quality and completion of the prepared Australian visa application papers and attachments);
  
  
• we lodge for you all Australian visa application papers at the correct Australian immigration office;
  
  
• we conduct for you all follow-up work and case management until the application decision is received from the immigration office. (This can involve us having to answer further questions or making further legal submissions to immigration officers and arranging further technical/legal discussions and meetings with them and any third parties about issues raised by the immigration officers);
  
  
• we advise you and prepare you in advance for your interview with the Australian immigration office; (This includes discussing with you so-called 'difficult' questions you are  likely to be asked at the interview. This will help you not to give any misleading or unclear answers which may be used against you by the Australian immigration officers.
  
  You should note that it not difficult to 'fail' at an interview based on the type of answers you give or the type of words you use at the interview. Therefore, you should never take the interview lightly); almost always, one of our specialist Australian immigration  lawyers  will attend the interview with you;
  
  
• we complete for you all important post-decision work (including further advice as necessary);

When you use this service, you may, if you wish, refuse to contact or be contacted by any immigration officer from any immigration office during the entire processing period of your application. As your representative, we will handle, for you and on behalf of you, all necessary and related communications, negotiations, responses and all legal work in dealing with Australian immigration officers. There is no further fee to use our consultant lawyers for this service - it is included in the fixed  fee you pay.

If you receive any letters or other communications from any Australian immigration officer, you may legally refuse to speak or deal with them by saying that you have full legal representation and then simply referring them to Australian Immigration & Citizenship Law Advisers. The only exception to this rule is where you are asked to attend an interview before a decision on your case is made, and as stated above, usually one of our Australian immigration lawyers will also attend the interview with you.

Our paramount and overall objective always  is simply this:  THE SUCCESS OF YOUR AUSTRALIAN VISA APPLICATION. We are most mindful that this is what you pay us to use our best efforts to achieve.

Service # 4:
Pre-lodgement Application Check (PAC)

(Note: Please DO NOT send us your  original documents!)

This  is a 'You Do It, We Check It' service. It is for those clients wanting effective specialist legal  Australian immigration assistance with the minimum of cost. Typically in this situation, you prepare the entire Australian visa application papers. Then, before you lodge your Australian visa application (which you think is complete), you contact us to obtain a PAC on your visa application papers. Your PAC will give you our chief Australian immigration lawyer's opinion as to whether your visa application papers are ready for lodging - that is, you get this opinion before you lodge it.

This is VERY IMPORTANT as without this check, you could be lodging a defective Australian visa application resulting in a visa application  failure. An Austraian visa application failure should ALWAYS be regarded as a SERIOUS AND  DAMAGING 'immigration' event to your future wishes to enter or remain permanently in Australia. It should be avoided, if possible, at all costs.

After we receive your instructions requesting a PAC, we will tell you exactly when to send ONE PHOTOCOPY of all your Australian application papers to our office by courier. (On rare occasions, you may be able to fax it to us, as when urgent service is important). (Please DO NOT SEND YOUR ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS as we will NOT be sending back any papers to you. The purpose of this policy is to keep down costs to you and protect against loss of your originals in the mail).

Upon receipt of your Australian visa application papers, we will carry out our examination/assessment of your entire visa application papers and then prepare our PAC  for you. Our work includes reading and making notes on  any legally conflicting facts, conducting  legal research to ensure the correct laws are obeyed in your Australian visa application, and commenting on any documentary  deficiencies in your Australian application papers, ensuring there are no fatal factual or legal errors in your papers and whether any further attachments  are required or recommended.

Based on this work, we then prepare and send you your PAC.

If you are interested in obtaining your PAC, please contact us (click on: Contact Us) to discuss further.

Service # 5:
Small Australian Immigration Assignments

On your instructions, we are able to deal with any 'follow-up work' including any particular or specific aspect of your Australian immigration application after or before  you lodge  it.  Perhaps your application  is taking too long to be processed by the Australian Embassy or High Commission. Or they have asked you a "difficult" question and you are worried and not sure  how best  to deal with it.

Some clients contact us for assistance to help 'speed up the processing of the case' (common especially when dealing with Australian immigration officers at Australian Embassies or High Commissions) or checking post-lodgement papers and then advising on, for instance, medical criteria,  sponsorships, assurances of support (mandatory or discretionary), or any other unexpected matters raised by Australian immigration officers during the processing of the application. Australian Immigration & Citizenship Law Advisers is experienced in dealing with all such matters.

Also, if necessary, we can  prepare and lodge further documents and legal submissions for strengthening your case or monitor and follow-up on your case until a decision is made by Australian immigration authorities. We are experienced at advising and assisting clients in small jobs such as these. 

So if you have only a specific or particular aspect of your post-lodgement processing stage that is worrying you, why not contact us for help and assistance. For negotiated fee, we will expertly work to legally settle your worries or concerns to your advantage, which should greatly give you peace of mind.

PLEASE NOTE: As in the case of our comprehensive/total management service (see 2 above) if you use this service, you may, if you wish, refuse to talk to or be contacted by any Australian immigration officer during the period of our engagement as Australian Immigration & Citizenship Law Advisers will handle ALL communications with Australian immigration officers for you.

If interested in this service, please contact us (click on: Contact Us) to discuss further.
