67 VISA APPROVALS FOR JANUARY 2023

In 2022, we were able to get more than 650 Australian visas granted for our clients. We are off to another good start for this year with 67 visas granted for January (26 permanent visas and 41 temporary visas).

We cannot win all the time, it is impossible for us to achieve 100% approval rating given the number of cases we handle and the fact that we are not afraid of handling complex visa applications but I am proud of our team/ family at Bridges Immigration. Thank you guys for your hard work.

Congratulations to everyone who got their visa approval. Thank you for your patience.

For those who are still waiting, your time will come, please have more patience and bear with us a little longer.
