I am from India and engaged Augustine & Co. to assist me with my migration jounrney to Australia via the Subclass 189/190 pathways, which was recently granted.From the beginning, they felt professional, well-informed and efficient, which has been consistent throughout the 4 year process. Annie, Calvin and the team are responsive, open to questions, thorough and timely – they also manage expectations delicately and effectively, and communicate with clarity. Their process is digestible and they systematically collect the relevant information in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. Having them act as a filter between myself and the intricate nature of the PR process helped immensely in what can otherwise feel like an intimidating journey.I would happily recommend their services!

Joan I.
I cannot thank Annie and the team enough for their help throughout my visa process.After separating from my husband, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure what would happen with my Partner Visa application. The entire team was incredibly helpful throughout the process, always taking the time to explain things clearly and making what felt like a very stressful situation much easier to navigate.Everyone who assisted me was always responsive, professional, and supportive. Every step of the way they clearly explained what documents were required, what information needed to be updated, and if anything needed to be amended. They were always quick to answer my questions and made the whole process feel far less overwhelming.They prepared and submitted all the necessary documents relating to my separation, and I was amazed by the outcome. My visa application had been lodged in July 2025 and had not even been opened yet. Less than three weeks after the updated information was submitted, I was granted Permanent Residency.I honestly could not believe how quickly everything happened. The best part is knowing that my future in Australia is now secure and that I can continue raising my son here without any uncertainty about my visa status.I would highly recommend Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers to anyone needing immigration assistance. Thank you again for everything.

After a highly disappointing experience with an overseas consultancy that mishandled our Subclass 309 visa application, we were left feeling extremely distressed and uncertain about our future.

Thanks to their expertise and genuine support, our visa was successfully granted in may/2026. We are truly grateful and would highly recommend Augustine & Co to anyone seeking reliable migration assistance.

I would like to share my experience and journey with Augustine which has been a long process but definitely worth it.Jeff (my partner from Australia) and myself coming from Mauritius contacted Augustine in view of helping us in lodging our partner Visa (visa 820) i came on a visitors visa and lodge the application onshore. Jeff and i both decided to trust Augustine’s advice and we did exactly what they asked us to do.. anytime we needed some clarifications they always responded in view of giving us some clarity and help. After a year, we then added my daughter to my partner visa while i was still on bridging visa and again we did exactly what they told us to do.. after nearly two years of waiting period, our partner visa was granted.I definitely recommend Augustine as they are very trustful and professional advisors!Forever grateful to them!A big thanks to Annie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Clothilde & Jeff S.
Thank you for all the staff at Augustine.We are a Maldivian couple.We have been trying to get our visa for years with constant issues.

Yameen N.
If you want peace of mind with your visa, look no further than Augustine and Co. We originally applied through a consultancy that made the process an absolute nightmare with zero follow-ups. Calvin took over our messy case and completely changed the game. His communication was crystal clear and always prompt. We now have our Subclass 309 visa grant, all thanks to him. They truly are the best in the business!
Sandeep P
There are not enough words to thank Augustine & Co for all the help they have given me and my husband over the years. I placed my trust in them three years ago and now we are celebrating PR!!When we initially worked with them for the first visa, I was always anxious and had concerns which they were always quick to address. By the time we came to the final visa for PR, I was a lot more calmer and confident, even during the waiting period, as I knew we were in great hands. The application process is tough, and we went through it several times as we progressed through the Partner visas, but the Augustine & Co team never failed us. They 100% know what they are doing, understand exactly what requirements need to be fulfilled, and ensure everything is handled thoroughly and efficiently to achieve the best outcome.I will always recommend Augustine & Co to anyone who seeks help with their Australian dream.
Richelle Mae A.

I’m originally from India and recently received my Australian Permanent Residency through the Subclass 190 Skilled Migration Visa with the help of Augustine & Co.The entire process took close to 3 years, and throughout that time the team was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and dedicated.

I came to Augustine & Co for help with my PR visa application and honestly, I cannot recommend them enough!From the very beginning, they took the time to explain all my options clearly, and when I moved from Sydney to Melbourne, they helped me navigate the 189/190 visa process without any stress at all.What really stood out to me was how kind and patient the whole team is and they never made me feel like I was asking too many questions and always made sure I understood every step of the process and the timeline involved!You can genuinely tell that the team care about helping their clients through their migration journey and not just getting the job done.Sincere, warm, and so easy to work with :)Thank you once again!

The team at Augustine & Co. were phenomenal throughout my entire SC 190 visa application process. They managed everything seamlessly, from the initial skills assessment through to guiding me on the precise information and documentation required at each stage, and ultimately lodging my visa application.I genuinely don’t think I could have navigated the process with the level of speed and accuracy on my own. The team provided clear advice, answered every question patiently and gave me full confidence that I had made the right choice.I was fortunate to receive my PR invitation and visa grant without any additional requests or clarifications from the DHA, which speaks volumes about the quality and thoroughness of their work.I was referred to Augustine & Co. by a friend, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking migration support.

I contacted Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers for the application of my wife's sc309 and sc100 visa. We trusted to go with them after the positive results from sc309 visa. Throughout the process was smooth and easy. All our queries were answered even post application. We were recently granted with sc100 visa as well. We thank them for supporting us on our journey. We highly recommend their services.

After receiving my sc309 visa with the assistance of Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers, we proceeded with the application of my sc100 visa with them.

Thanks to them (again), I was granted sc100 visa in less than an year. I cannot thank them enough for their support throughout my journey. Will always recommend their services!
Sukhbir K.
I had a very complex and stressful immigration matter, and working with Augustine & Co. Immigration Lawyers made a significant difference in how I understood and approached my case.What stood out immediately was their depth of legal insight. Immigration law is not just complicated—it is highly technical, procedural, and often unforgiving when it comes to deadlines and evidentiary requirements. They took the time to break down the legal framework in a way that was clear and structured, especially around jurisdictional issues, tribunal processes, and the distinction between merits review and judicial review. This was something I struggled to fully grasp before engaging them.My case involved multiple layers, including a prior refusal, tribunal review, and the need to consider further legal pathways. Instead of giving generic advice, they carefully assessed the facts, identified the legal pressure points, and explained the realistic options available. They were very transparent about risks, prospects, and the limitations of the system, which I appreciated because it allowed me to make informed decisions rather than relying on false hope.Communication was also professional and responsive. They were able to explain complex legal concepts in practical terms, which is critical for someone navigating the immigration system without a legal background.Overall, Augustine & Co. provided not just legal services, but clarity in a very confusing legal landscape. If your case involves complications, refusals, or appeals, having a firm that truly understands the structure and strategy of immigration law is essential—and they demonstrated that capability throughout my experience.

I initially received negative feedback from a few lawyers due to their insufficient research. However, after conducting my own research, I came across this company.

Annie and the team at Augustine supported us (country of origin: India) with our Temporary Work (International Relations) subclass 403 visa and ensured that the process was seamless and systematically handled throughout. We were nervous venturing into this journey given the niche nature of the visa stream but quickly developed confidence in the Augustine team’s strategic approach to our application. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and we have always appreciated how responsive, punctual and detail-oriented the team is. Very thankful for their expert assistance on our successful visa application and look forward to continuing our permanent residency journey with them!

My partner and I hired Augustine & Co. to prepare our paperwork and walk us through the process of applying for citizenship in Australia. We couldn't recommend them more. From our initial meeting to being approved by local council was about six months.The pricing was upfront without any hidden fees and reasonable. They answered all our questions in a timely fashion. When my application became more complicated, the helped me with that to ensure it would be accepted the first time around.

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.

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.
Tim G.

Both Calvin and Annie were very helpful along the process, answering every question we had, no matter how silly we thought it to be. They were kind, courteous and ensured that we were on the right path towards a successful application. The rest of the team that were in contact with us, be it over the phone to email communications were understanding and also responded in a professional and timely manner.Calvin, Annie, and Raunak were the first to make sure that every document was filled out to the standard that the government requests, which then led to the successful application and a visa being granted within a reasonable timeframe.I cannot speak highly enough about the Augustine & Co. team, and should there be anyone in our sphere who may need immigration law support, or any of their extended services, they would be the first Law Firm I would recommend!

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.

Joey T.
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.
