🎓 Supporting international students through student visa challenges.

🚨 Has your 407 Training visa nomination been refused?

A refusal can feel like the end of your Australian visa journey, BUT the right strategy can make a real difference.

Our client had already started their 407 visa process when the employer's nomination was refused, putting the visa application at risk.

💼 We reviewed the refusal, rebuilt the training plan and re-lodged the nomination with a stronger strategy.
🤓 We also prepared alternative options, including a potential 482 visa pathway. 🧠

With the right advice and strategy, there may still be a way forward. 🧑🏾‍⚖️

📩 Contact our team for strategic advice about your 407 visa or nomination refusal.

MMMigration on the move 🇦🇺

At the end of August, our CEO, Melanie Macfarlane, attended two training sessions in Sydney and Adelaide. She met international students starting their careers and others planning to live in Australia after completing their studies. 🎓

During the event, Melanie explained what it looks like to study in areas of skills shortage in Australia, such as engineering, IT, construction, cookery, child care and aged care, and what migration pathways may be available. She also discussed the key migration changes happening now.

“I want to talk about the opportunities you have in Australia, the migration pathway, and the skills you bring to stay in the country after your studies.”

She also highlighted how important it is to make good decisions about what you study and how you see yourself working in the future. She emphasised how important it is to study and work in an area that you are passionate about. This choice will guide a big part of your life. 💼

Thank you to all the students who joined us in Sydney and Adelaide. 🙌

We continue supporting the international community in Australia. 🇦🇺
