I was in Singapore and my fiance's in Australia when we searched for a company to help with our Prospective Visa application. Gold Migration Lawyers for us was a little bit pricey, but it was all worth it. We had an initial meeting via video call with our then lawyer named Emad to assess both of us. Emad left and was taken over by Katherine and finally Jualiana Aywaz, who helped us go through the application until we were approved. It was a pleasant experience. She was very professional, helped us with our forms thoroughly, and advised us for the best possible outcome. I liked that Juliana was prompt on her replies and clear with her instructions. We highly recommend Gold Migration Lawyers! Thanks again, Juliana!read more
