Consultations or Initial Assessments

In an initial Assessment we will evaluate your chances to migrate to Australia.

In most cases, consultations consist of a written summary and a follow-up call to discuss your questions. First, I’ll collect all information required. This may require a detailed CV plus some additional information and it will take a few days to complete.

We will discuss whether there is a chance for you to migrate to Australia and identify potential issues. If possible, we’ll also talk about a strategy on how to deal with them. You will also be provided with information about the visa category best suited to your needs, a brief overview of the application process, length, and cost.

To get started complete my contact form providing as much information as possible. I’ll then run an initial screening free of charge. Alternatively, you may also email an up-to-date CV along with a few sentences about your situation to margot(at)migration-advice.com.

A consultation will typically evolve around a particular question you have. You have probably started to gather documents for your application and have struck a dead end.

I charge a fee (A$ 240, or GBP 125, or 145 EUR) for either. Because (frankly) I suck at sales talks. So, I’ve decided to charge a fair fee for my time. That way you get proper advice, and I don’t have to pretend I have marketing skills. If you then decide to engage my service to apply for your visa, I’ll be thrilled. And if not, that’s OK, too.

Migration Agent fees vary depending on what is involved in your application. The following is therefore only a guide. You will receive a complete fee estimate during your initial assessment or consultation.
