Client’s story
The Australian Migration Regulations are constantly changing. And those who are members of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) are always the first to receive information about any types of changes.
Hence, working with a MIA member when lodging for a visa means you’ll also receive those latest updates such as: the applicants’ rights, visa requirements, cost, processing times, etc. If you’re not updated soon enough, your documents may not fulfil the requirements of the Australian Department of Migration.
Mrs Thi Ngoc Diem Huynh – VEM’s client – is a typical example for this case. Because Mr Phong Cao (CEO of VEM) is a MIA member. That’s why he’s able to receive early changes about visas during COVID-19.
He had advised Mrs Diem to quickly finish her papers then apply for a visa. Thanks to that, her Prospective Marriage visa – Subclass 300 is approved sooner than the usual processing times.
Specifically, at the time Mrs Diem applied for a Subclass 300 visa, the processing times on the official Australian Government website would be 12 to 18 months.
But due to the fast updates and accurate consultancy from Mr Phong Cao, Mrs Diem was granted a 300 visa on 16th March, 2021 which was 8 months and 10 days after her visa lodgement.
