We were very excited to receive the news that the 801 visa had been granted and my partner who is from Thailand can now permanently live with me and work in Australia. We would like to acknowledge and thank the wonderful immigration lawyers and staff at Augustine and Co for their guidance and assistance in the granting of the 801 visa. They were very helpful in all the steps along the way to the granting of the visa and I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to permanently live in Australia.

I'm 66 yo female American citizen with an Australian partner of +15 years. Our journey to obtaining a partner visa was long and difficult and in the end would have been almost impossible without the input of Augustine and Co.Calvin and Annie, a key associate at , guided us through the process of collecting the necessary documents and medical records for the 801 visa submission. The web portal that is set up for the documentation was particularly useful in data collection and structuring the submission.I am pleased to provide this testimonial supporting Augustine and Co for Australian immigration. One additional positive was the fact that services were provided on a lump sum fee basis. Calvin and Annie and the team were great! I very much appreciated their expertise and guidance.

Mark M.
We are delighted to share this five-star review for Calvin, Annie, and the entire team at Augustine & Co. Our Partner visa application was very complex and stretched over several years, marked by significant challenges including outright rejections, repeated correspondence related to health issues, and the need for multiple specialist medical examinations and cost assessments. With significant effort and guidance from Augustine & Co, we were able to successfully appeal an adverse MOC ruling which resulted in granting of the Partner visa. We wholeheartedly recommend Augustine & Co. to anyone navigating a challenging immigration process.

Our case has been a complex one since the beginning we applied for the application. A friend of mine has recommended me Augustine & Co Immigration due to their professional service and high-efficiency communication in the previous cases. The result turned out to be positive as our case has recently been approved even there was a slim chance of approval according to the VACCU. We are very glad that we chose Augustine & Co. the only regret would be that we should reach them earlier. The team has been patient and easy to reach whenever we raise any concern towards basically any issues we came across during the whole process. I would recommended them to anyone I know might need advice and help for their immigration matters. Thank you Calvin, Annie and your entire team for the whole effort and help you provided!

Thanks so much for helping us with our partner visa application! We reached out to them as we haven't heard any progress on our self-lodged application for several months. Calvin explained to us how they can help and Annie was very helpful and thorough in going through our application and figuring out what we might be missing and helped us satisfy those as well. Our case turned out to be a bit more complicated as originally thought as we had to apply for Bridging Visa B twice and received an s57, but they were all very helpful, knew exactly what we needed, and guided us throughout the entire process. We're very grateful for helping us get a double grant!

We were immensely impressed by the exceptional service provided by Augustine & Co. throughout our partner visa application process. Calvin, Annie, Richa, and the entire team exhibited remarkable professionalism and assistance, guiding us through what turned out to be a complex journey. Despite encountering unforeseen challenges along the way, particularly given the unique circumstances of our case, Augustine & Co. approached each hurdle with expertise and determination. Their unwavering commitment and expertise became evident when, despite moments of uncertainty, they persevered and collaborated closely with the department, presenting compelling arguments that ultimately led to the successful issuance of a double grant for my partner, who is a Filipino citizen.Throughout the process, Augustine & Co. consistently demonstrated prompt responsiveness to our inquiries, providing clarity and reassurance during what could have otherwise been a daunting experience. Their patience and professionalism were evident even in the face of frustration, ensuring that we felt supported and informed at every step. Thanks to the dedication and proficiency of Augustine & Co., we now have the privilege of embarking on our future together with the certainty provided by our partner visa. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Augustine & Co. for any Australian visa requirements. Thank you once again for your outstanding service!

I knew I made the best decision when I engaged Calvin and his team to assist me with my Sc189 permanent residency application. This is the second time I was engaging them (they previously assisted me with my 485 graduate visa a few years ago). No words can express how thankful I am for the professionalism, thorough attention to detail and step by step guidance Calvin, Annie and team Augustine and Co provided to me from beginning to end. A massive thank you to team Augustine and Co for being on this journey with me! I am forever grateful for everything you have all done and because of all your guidance, I can finally call myself an Australian permanent resident!

Augustine & Co have been exceptional. The service I received with the processing of my citizenship application was superb. As I moved from the UK 5 years ago, I have worked with numerous immigration agencies, and none have come close to the great service I received from Annie and Calvin. They were always prompt in their replies with any questions that I had, provided clear guidance and were very pragmatic with my situation. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a premium experience for their immigration needs.

Calvin and his specialised team were very thorough and precise in the process of the de facto relationship for me and my partner from the United Kingdom. The team helped us with the application to ensuring that everything is precise and correct to make sure that the application is easy and straightforward. They outlined everything that was required for a successful completion of this application. I couldn’t recommend any other immigration lawyer firm that was so helpful and wonderful through the whole journey of me and my partner obtaining permanent residency.Thank you Calvin and the team at Augustine & Co immigration.

I would like to thank Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers for assisting my wife and I to get a Visa subclass sc309.

Alfred Nathan S.
Calvin and Annie had been such a great help in assisting/consulting me to get my visa 190. I’ve been through so many migration agents and lawyers, wasting a lot of money. The team Augustine & Co is the best! They guided me throughout the whole application process and supported/advice me during difference circumstances. I really appreciate them and will highly recommend them to anyone with any migration issues.

We have been delighted with the guidance and support Augustine & Co., Immigration Lawyers have provided my wife and I for the Partner Visa SC100 application for my wife. Normally ours wouldn’t have been a complex case, my wife is a US Citizen and having been married 14 years. However, on account of Covid interruptions and many international borders being closed and our somewhat nomadic lifestyle during the last 2 years, there were added complexities obtaining fingerprints, police reports, medical checks, and biometrics from various foreign countries where English was not always the prevalent language. Augustine & Co. were supremely patient and supportive and extremely helpful in their guidance along the way, and so we made it! January 2022 and the official notification of acceptance came through – a great way to start the year!
Our sincere thanks to Augustine and Co.!!

Thinking of a visa pathway to PR has got to be one of the most stressful things to do and research yourself. True, all the information is online but even so, it is super overwhelming. l am so glad to have contacted and cosulted with Calvin. Despite all my initial thoughts on which visas I wanted to get, he is very direct to tell you if you're elidgible or not. I needed to hear that so I don't spend thousands on applying for something that will give me nothing. He give me advise on a pathway to PR and is very knowledgeable about this stuff. He forwards the document to read and summary of our conversation which proves very helpful. I commend Calvin for his work.
