Dear James

We would like to extend our grateful thanks for your patience and understanding throughout the whole process starting from application of retirement visa and later to this Permanent Resident visa. There had been times when there were delays and misunderstandings on our part and never once did you retaliate angrily over that.

We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone whom we know that may be of need of your services.

We take this opportunity to wish you future success and God’s choicest blessing on you and your family.

Yours sincerely

Edward & Shirley

Dear James

I like to take this opportunity to “thank you very much” for your professional support. I have thoroughly enjoyed dealing with you because of your friendly service, patience and father-like support thought the application process. The result of my application is evidence of your impeccable attention to detail and comprehensive knowledge of the immigration legislation and procedures. With your help I was able to marry the man of my dreams and embark on my new life in Australia with confidence.

I would like you potential clients to know that you were an honourable guest at our wedding because of our high respects to you as a friend and solicitor. I hope you have enjoyed my wedding as much as we have appreciated you celebrating it with us.

I have no qualms in recommending anyone to you because of your integrity and professionalism.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Tan

Thank you for your excellent counsel and service in enabling us to obtain permanent residency in Australia. All along we knew that it was going to be an uphill task in view of the fact that I am 60 and I don’t have any formal qualifications for the pastoral position in our church.

We acknowledge divine help in this matter and are surely thankful to our God in leading us to you so that we could get the most able professional service – first in my obtaining the work visa two years ago and now this permanent residency.

On behalf of my wife and myself, we would like to say that we are greatly indebted to you.

Warmest regards

Dear James

We hope these couple of lines are not read as one of the usual ‘thank you letters,’ but as our honest and true feelings about your expertise and services. Not only did you arrange and process all necessary application and documentation in an extremely professional manner, but in particular you experience and accuracy in combination with your special sensitiveness to recognise the best possible approaches, has made us feel very comfortable and confident during the whole application process.

To become permanent residents in Australia was a very important issue to us, as it does give us a new direction in life and provides peace of mind to our family. For this reason we consider ourselves lucky to have consulted you from the very beginning to arrange this important step in life for us.

It was certainly not only your professionalism and experience to achieve the set out goal, but it was your patient and amicable way of working with us, which made it easy for us. For this reason, we would without any hesitation, recommend to anyone to make use of your experience and comprehensive knowledge.

Sincerely yours

Jacqueline, Jordan and Christian
Austria

Dear James

To be honest my wife and I were in great doubt as to succeeding again in our application.

Your extensive experience, your knowledge of dealing with the Department of Immigration, our way to word arguments and facts to convince the officer in charge is unique. Eventually that has made the application successful, not just for 2 years as expected, even for 4 years and even as it has been an exceptional case due to my age being beyond 45 years.

Consequently we now are in the position to work hard to fulfil the requirements for our future application for permanent residency. Of course, in about two years time we will ask you to do our final application and we will recommend you whenever we are asked for an immigration lawyer.

Thank you for all your efforts and for what you have done for us.

With compliments

Dear Mr Tan

Firstly thank you very much for expediting my permanent residentship with much patience and diligence. I sigh with relief with this hurdle over and am preparing to make my initial entry to Australia.

Quite a number of my business associates and friends have asked me for your contact address and telephone number……so expect them to call on you.

Oh!! If I might add it’s been great having you as my migration agent.

God bless,

Alan

Dear James

I am writing to thank you for your assistance in helping us to obtain a standard business sponsorship thus enabling our restaurant to employ a chef from India.

I am happy to inform you that our restaurant has already begun to reap the benefits of employing another specialized chef. We appreciate the advice on what documentation we required, what our responsibilities are as a business sponsor and your help in selecting the right candidate for our business.

Thank you also for keeping us informed about the progress of our application and answering our questions in a manner which we found easy to understand.

Good luck and we look forward to seeking your assistance once again when our business grows and we need to expand.

Yours faithfully

Peter – Director

Dear James

I was delighted to receive the confirmation letter from the DIMIA stating that our application to migrate to Australia has been approved.

This is the culmination of months of hard work and dedication on your behalf. Even during the times when obtaining this visa seemed a daunting task, you persevered and always assured me that we would succeed. Without these words of encouragement & your positive & thoroughly professional attitude, I would have thrown in the towel long time ago.

It is rare in this day and age to find a person such as yourself. Not only do you provide a professional service for a realistic fee, you also care for the client’s feelings and thoughts, an enviable trait I must say.

It has been a pleasure working together with you, and I will not hesitate in recommending you and the services you provide to anyone seeking migration to Australia. Once again, a big thank you from my family and myself.

Yours sincerely

Dear James

As you are aware, we were granted Australian Permanent Residency recently and I would like to extend my appreciation to you for all your advice and help in preparing and submitting our application. Right from our first meeting you took the time and effort to explain all the procedures involved in submitting our application. Your help in getting my skills assessed was particularly helpful.

Apart from this, your constant updates on the progress of our application were appreciated. In addition to this your advice on where to finally move to in Australia was very useful. Now that we have been granted our Permanent Residency we are in the process of settling all our matters here in Malaysia and look forward to move to Australia later this year. We will keep in touch and perhaps arrange to meet after we have settled into life there. Hope that the New Year brings you success in everything that you do.

Yours truly

Dear James

I want to thank you for the excellent service you have provided me not only in my initial application for the Business Skills Visa but also for your guidance to me during my 36 month probation period in submitting the survey forms to the Immigration Department.  My family and I are now considered by the Australian Department of Immigration as bona fide permanent residents of Australia.

During the application process you have always kept me informed of the progress and your submission to the Department of Immigration have been very thorough and complete. Your service thoughout has been superb and first class and I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to my German friends in the future.

Once again thank you for your very professional service.

Warmest Regards

Dear Mr Tan

I would like to thank you for the professional service rendered to me and my family to get the status of a permanent resident in Australia.

As a business professional I highly appreciate working together with someone like you, who offered excellent service from the early beginning, i.e. the right advice for starting the application as well as timeliness and accurate answer thoughout the whole process.

I think for business people the advice of an immigration lawyer is absolutely worth the money spent as a professional immigration lawyer can do the right things at the right time and therefore gave us the good feeling that we could concentrate on all other private and business matters linked with a move to another country.

I will recommend you as a person as well as your office to anyone who needs professional immigration advice for moving to Australia.

Best wishes

Dear James

After having been recommended by Jan I feel I must write and thank you for the excellent service I received from you as my Immigration Lawyer during my successful application for Trade Skill assessment and Permanent Residency in Australia.

Your actions were always very prompt, efficient and I was kept fully informed of every stage thoughout. In addition you made the form filling as easy as is possible, including helping and advising me on the provision of additional material that aided the speedy and successful conclusion of my application.

I always felt we were working as part of a team, as opposed to a client/lawyer situation, with you always having my best interest as your goal.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any of my friends, who is contemplating emigrating to Australia.

Regards and thanks,

Colin

Dear Mr Tan

I wish to take this opportunity to express my profound thanks and appreciation in your swift and efficient handling of my immigration process. I have found your services to be highly professional, trustworthy and reliable.

You have made it such an easy and painless procedure! It certainly wasn’t what I had expected due to the many hairy personal experiences that I had heard from other sources.

What a pleasure it will be to move to Australia! Thank you so so much! With your permission, I would be most happy to refer your name to my friends and contacts here in Malaysia who required a good immigration consultant.

Thank you again.
