Case Study - Linda King (Skilled Migration)

Background to Case

This made it very difficult for her to reach the pass mark for most kinds of skilled migration.

However, in her case, we were able to recommend a very innovative solution which led to Linda obtaining permanent residence in Australia. We applied for a Skilled - Designated Area Sponsored visa for Linda. This type of visa did not require Linda to pass a points test, so that obtaining only 40 points for occupation did not make a critical difference to her application.

Linda had been in contact with other migration agents who had not been able to come up with the solution. At Acacia Immigration, we take the time to look carefully at each person's situation. Our deep and thourough understanding of Australian immigration regulations enables us to come up with solutions that others may not be able to offer.

Testimonial from Linda

I just wanted to thank you for all the work that you have put it into my application for me. I do appreciate your patience, your guidance, support and your ability to put what is a very complicated process into 'English'!

When I started the visa trail 18 months ago I was told by an agent in the UK that I wouldn't stand a chance in gaining a visa for residency in Australia due to my job title. He told me to go back to college and retrain and then maybe try again in 2/3 years ... my heart sank. To be honest when I found Acacia Immigration on the internet, it was the first real time I had gone and searched for anything on the web, best 10 minutes I ever spent on a computer! I was determined that it wasn't necessary for me to retrain in anything, surely having a sister there, my languages, my office skills etc would be of benefit to someone in Australia?!! .. and you proved me right!

I can honestly say that it has been a true delight working with you on this long-winded process and I would like to thank you for putting up with my incessant questions and my constant nagging - when you're half way round the world and wondering what on earth is going on, it is good to know that when you ask a question, you will have a response the following day. That is what I call excellent customer service.

I haven't worked out my plan of action yet but I have no doubt I shall be in Sydney before Christmas and will call on you and ensure I buy you that pint!

On behalf of the Parkers (Mum and Dad), Kings (me!) and the Fitzgeralds (sister, bro-in-law, niece and the new arrival - due next week!), I thank you very much for everything you have done throughout the last 12 months, including staying positive!
