Client Testimonials

Illegal to legal

cleint photo When Cupid called on Merry from one of the Pacific Islands and her Australian Citizen husband Justin, separation was unthinkable and she overstayed her visa – by years!. Dreading the knock on the door and the swift trip to Villawood and out of Australia, they brought their fears to The Australian Immigration Place. David Coote and his team worked on their case immediately. Outcome ? Even though Merry had to leave (she could not stay in Australia), she is now back with Justinorem

Visa cancellation

Ramos nearly wasn’t a Permanent Resident.! He was threatened with visa cancellation, and it took a Migration Review Tribunal hearing to reverse that.   Strike 1 to David Coote! Then he was reconciled with his South American wife. He wanted to bring her to Australia, of course. Detailed preparation from our team meant there was no need for an appeal this time! Welcometo Australia, Catarina!


Migration Review Tribunal appeal

Dragan is an Australian citizen of Montenegran descent. His Montenegran fiancée had her visa application refused. It was Dragan’s third sponsorship, so he had to show compelling circumstances (strike out twice and live lonely!). Was the appeal upheld? Yes it was. How did David Coote do it? He says it is a trade secret! But it may have something to do with his long and successful experience (since 1995)..

Employer Sponsored Visas

Welcome back to an Indian client who just landed back in Australia with his family. He applied for a Protection Visa in Australia before coming to David Coote. His application was refused – but he was working in a trade listed on the MODL and the employer was very keen to keep him and was even prepared to wait for him to come back. We are frequently preparing technical applications for Indian trades people in the same situation. Is this your situation? Talk to us. If you are an employer with a worker you want to keep, check with us, about what can be done
