Conditions are complex and constantly changing. Therefore we recommend you to use professional migration advisers. Lawyers are not particularly the best experts in Australian immigration so we advise you to consult the Australian migration agents accredited by MARA or MIA. The list is very long and quality agents are rare, so we have selected a very reliable agency based in Sydney, Australia.
