Very satisfied about the service from Migration Affairs, recommend Taraneh to anyone who needs infos about visas and answers to stay in Australia ! Great job 🙏

There is nothing but great things to say about Migration Affairs!! When starting with them over 6 months ago, we were told of the complexity of our situation and how much needed to be done with the process. Also giving us easy to follow checklist all the time. We would recommend them 100%!

Absolutely loved working with Migration Affairs especially Thivya and Taraneh. The service has been incredible from the initial assessment regarding my situation all the way till my visa was granted. They were extremely knowledgeable in regards to all of the requirements and took the time and effort to elaborate on queries that I had. Initially I was worried that communication might be difficult as I was based outside of NSW, however they always replied to my queries quickly and even made the effort to text or call me to provide me with important updates.

Best immigration agent I have worked with. Brilliant advise from the start. Also very reasonable fee. Highly recommended 😊

As someone approaching a migration agent for the first time, I am glad that I chose Migration Affairs and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great agency service!

Migration Affairs has been a delight to work with. They have listened to me and provided the best migration pathway. They have given clear instructions all the way. The communication has been so easy and they always got back to me quickly. Will recommend them 100%! Thank you

Migration Affairs was attentive and prompt from our first information request. They demonstrated a clear understanding of the migration process from the US to AU. They welcomed my input, allowing me to participate, all while directing me through the visa process. It was clear, Migration Affairs had developed a system within a system based on their extensive experience and positive client outcomes. I can only offer my highest recommendation of Migration Affairs, and will be grateful for their service.

I can not recommend Migration Affairs highly enough! Taraneh and her team worked tirelessly to keep my partner from being deported to New Zealand. They worked from the office, they worked from home, they worked on the weekends and through their holidays! It was obviously worth more than the money to Tara and her team to win my partners appeal. Thank you Migration Affairs I will be forever grateful! You have achieved the impossible!

“Tara recently represented my brother who has been on Christmas Island awaiting deportation due to the cancellation of his visa. "....: Tears of joy and pure elation that my brother now has a second chance at life in the country that has always been his home. Without the tireless efforts from Tara and the team and Migration Affairs, I have no doubt the outcome may have been very different. Thank you to Migration Affairs for going above and beyond and bringing my family together again. ”

There are no words that describe the service and support , and the belief that Migration Affairs bring to the table for there clients. This organisation are second to none. From my own experience I'm happy to say I'm honoured to have had them represent me they never gave up on me for a moment when there were moments that I had given up myself. Thank u migration Affairs and a special thank u Tara.

Our experience with Migration Affairs was professional, proficient, without stress. Thank you for your work to all at Migration Affairs.

Taraneh and her team are very knowledgeable and can provide the best solution for any case. They were being punctual and supportive. Besides, they spend a lot of time and write your application carefully. Highly recommended

Thivya, Taraneh and all Migration Affairs team have delivered to us an exceptional service. Excellent professionalism, knowledge and empathy with our case. It went beyond our expectations. We are grateful for all the support during our process. We highly recommend them.

Great service and guidance through a lengthy and complicated (and expensive) process. Thanks to Thivya and Taraneh. Can't thank you enough for your patience.

Thank you once again MIGRATION AFFAIRS PTY LTD especially for TARANEH and THIVYA for the overwhelming support. Friendly and professional team. Definitely the place, I will recommend to everyone, I know should they need assistance with visa or anything that is related with it. God bless you all!

Thank you very much from my bottom of heart Taraneh and Jenny for helping me to remove 8107 condition.

Thank you to Migration Affairs who helped my fiancée and I when other agents said they couldn't. They were very helpful, gave regular updates and we got a positive quick response for our visa. Thank you once again to Taraneh and Jenny for the fabulous result. VERY SATISFIED

Migration affairs is a fantastic organisation to work with if you are looking to get a VISA process done. My experience has been amazing and was second to none. Both Thiviya and Taraneh helped me to obtain my partner visa. They facilitated the process and led me to success. Very professional, prompt and genuine. I would definitely recommend Migration Affairs for anyone seeking assistance with a VISA process.

Professional and efficient service. The team at Migration Affairs gave me and my family all the relevant information and guidance to achieve the desired outcome. Would definitely recommend. Both Taraneh and Thiviya provided a fantastic service.

Migration Affairs is a trustable and number one migration firm. Taraneh and Thivya are knowledgeable, hardworking, and timely to get a visa application successfully granted. A distinct advantage of this agency, compare to other agencies from my experience, is that Taraneh and Thivya are caring about clients and do their best in doing the job. .... However, Migration Affairs's personalized workflow and checklist to prepare a strong visa application finally led to getting the visa. All in all, Migration Affairs is recommended.

Finally got invited for 491 visa SA . Thivya and Taraneh helped me with the Visa application and they approach and directions helped me to get through in the process.

Honestly the best people to handle your visa needs. I have worked with Thivya and Taranah for over 4 years and after going to a load of visa “experts”, it was Thivya and Taranah that got my visa sorted and approved. 10/10

...Taraneh took the time to go through my CV and recommended that I pursued permanent residency via the Global Talent Independent(GTI) Visa route. ... Jenny handled my case exceptionally well and all my queries throughout the process were dealt with promptly. .... Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. I really felt they were truly invested in me as their client and advocated for me well. I would strongly recommend using Migration Affairs , especially for the Global Talent Independent Visa Programme. ..

I extremely grateful to know Taraneh and Thivya. They very Professional and Competent for the whole process . Help me prepared well to my concern until my visa is Granted. Would highly recommend their services and will be using them again in future.

Thivya helped me with my Visa 820 and I couldn't have done this without her. She communicated clearly regarding what she required and helped me make my application strong. Also, thanks to Taraneh for her support. :)

Migration Affairs is a very diligent, professional and trustworthy agency. I highly recommend it and I’m very thankful for their great services and kindness!!! 😃🙌

Thank you so much for your support and professional services. I found Migration Affairs very expert in managing my partner and tourist visa applications per my specific circumstances to get a positive outcome for my visa. More specifically, Taraneh and Thiviya were caring about my application throughout my visa journey. Thanks indeed.

Jenny did such amazing work on my global talent EOI resubmission. Very impressed with her effort and the outcome, and grateful to have her and Taraneh's help throughout what is an undoubtedly stressful and confusing process.

I highly recommend Taraneh and Thivya. They were very professional and I wouldn't have been able get my visa without them. They assisted me with every step along the way. What an amazing team. I will surely use them in the future. Thank you!

My partner and I cannot thank Taraneh and Thivya enough for their hard work and kind professionalism throughout the visa application process. They are always a pleasure to deal with and have exceeded our expectations with an amazing result. We continue to use their services for our remaining visa needs. I would recommend them without hesitation to anybody looking for fast and effective services.

My husband and I got our pr yesterday. Taraneh and Jenny made our dreams come true within only 2 months. They are professional, dedicated and always respond quickly. As we need our visa grant this year, they even worked at night, on weekends and holiday to achieve this. They never guaranteed something, but they always do things beyond our expectation. MA is the best agent I've ever met!

Very good service!

I personally had a good experience with Migration Affairs. I would like to mention Taraneh and Thivya as they have helped me throughout the process. The best part of being a client of Migration affairs was that connecting with the consultants was very easy and convenient.

I gave Taraneh (founder of Migration Affairs) an impossible task. In spite of all odds stacked against us and many hurdles that other immigration lawyers would have found too difficult or time consuming, Taraneh and Jenny didn’t give up and managed to get the desired outcome of securing a global talent visa permanent residency AND didn’t charge me for the extra work they did. They have relentless devotion, passion and drive. Would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone pursuing a visa to Australia.

She is highly professional and cooperative as well as responding promptly to any queries nicely and formally. Thanks for your great efforts.

Thivya is very attentive and gives you all time you need to talk about visa matters. It made the process much easier for me and my partner. I would definitely recommend their services should you want a much smoother visa process.

Massive thanks to Taraneh and Thivya for helping me get PR visa. It took a lot of work and a long time but I wouldn’t have been able to get through it all without their help. Highly recommend

After going through a few consultation sessions with different agencies, I found Migration Affairs the best one to trust. Taraneh is very knowledgeable about different migration pathways and my session with her was very insightful. One thing that I loved about them was that after the consultation they send you every single detail of the meeting together with the advice which is super helpful. During the process of my assessment with VETASSESS, they were very professional, responsive and quick and they got me a positive result! I’m very happy with their service and highly recommend it to everyone who is looking for a reliable, professional and friendly migration team.
