The VEM’s team, for example, has an experience with Dang Vu Phong Dan – one of our clients. Even though he has finished 2 master courses in Australia, he still cannot apply for a visa to stay in this country.

Facing his visa expiration, Phong Dan has found us. VEM has shown him clearly step by step and helped him to apply for his new visa. Fortunately, he has been granted a student visa the third time with the right course to stay in Australia.

Besides, he has successfully passed the skills assessment. Our VEM’s team continues to help him to complete his application for Subclass 189 visa.

Phong Dan said: “I came to VEM, and Phong Cao helped me a lot with my problems and also gave me useful advice. Without him, I could not have the right direction.
