James Tan Immigration Advisory Service

Thank you for accessing our website. One of the most frequently asked questions by an intending immigrant to Australia is "Why can't I apply to migrate to Australia myself?" Of course you can!

You can simply pick up the forms from your nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate, or Department of Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs office and complete the questions and then submit the forms and sit back and hope for the best.

In spite of this there are hundreds of hopeful immigrants who seek out the services of an immigration lawyer or professional to assist them to immigrate to Australia. At James Tan Immigration Consultants our mission is to provide friendly professional advice and assistance until you succeed in your objective to settle in Australia.

POST-ARRIVAL ASSISTANCE

When you and your family arrive in Australia we are able to provide you through our contacts and associates with optional services to assist you and your family to settle in.

If you are a business migrant we are also able to assist you through our contacts to establish your business. The services we can assist you in or recommend you to are: -

1. Taxation and accounting services;
   
2. Home building or purchase;
   
3. Schooling for your children;
   
4. Banking;
   
5. Travel arrangements to Australia;
   
6. Investment or business opportunities;
   
7. Any other queries you may have.

ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE PROVIDED UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE

As soon as we receive your query whether by e-mail, fax or by any other means we will provide you with our undivided attention to ensure that your concerns and questions are answered.

Upon receiving your completed questionnaire we will do one or more or the following: -

1. Assess your chances of success or otherwise to immigrate to Australia. If yours is a border line case we will advise you on how you can change your circumstances to increase your chance of success;
   
2. Provide you with a second opinion on your chance of success if you have already received an opinion somewhere else that you are not completely satisfied with;
   
3. Assist you to avoid costly mistakes based on gossip and rumour. We will be able to advise you to put in the necessary information to ensure you do not waste unnecessary time and expense which may not be refundable by the Australian Department of Immigration;
   
4. Package your application in such a way that it is more presentable and convincing to the immigration officer processing your application. After all Australian immigration officers are only human and they do have a certain amount of discretion and flexibility. A well-presented application often does make the difference between approval and refusal by the officer that is assessing your application. At James Tan Immigration Consultants  we know how to package such applications;
   
5. Advise you on the right category of visa to apply for. Quite often the difference between success or failure of your application depends on which visa category you should  apply for;
   
6. Provide you with timely advice as to whether there is a time constraint in the category of visa you are applying for. If there is, we are able to expedite the lodgement of your application to ensure you meet the dateline for your application; and
   
7. Advise you as to which Embassy, High commission, Consulate or Department of Immigration office to lodge your application. Occasionally due to the residential status of an applicant, the choice of lodging the application at an Immigration Office, which may not have a huge backlog of applications, may mean that the application might be processed much faster.
