What should I consider when choosing an immigration lawyer in Queensland?

Choosing an immigration lawyer in Queensland is an important decision that can have a significant impact on the success of your visa application. Based on Steven’s experience as a former Registered Migration Agent and an immigration lawyer here are some factors to consider when choosing one:

• Registration: It’s important to choose a migration agent who is either registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) or as a solicitor with Queensland Law Society. This ensures that the agent is qualified and meets the professional standards required by the Australian government.
• Experience: Look for an immigration lawyer who has experience in handling visa applications similar to yours. This will ensure that they have the knowledge and expertise needed to provide you with the best possible advice and guidance.
• Reputation: Check the reputation of the immigration lawyer by reading reviews and testimonials from previous clients. This will give you an idea of their track record and the level of service they provide.
• Communication: Choose an immigration lawyer who communicates clearly and regularly with you throughout the visa application process. This will ensure that you are kept informed of any updates or changes to your application.
• Fees: Consider the fees charged by the immigration lawyer and ensure that they are transparent and reasonable. Be wary of individuals who charge excessively high fees or make promises of guaranteed success.
• Personal connection: Choose an immigration lawyer who you feel comfortable working with and who understands your individual needs and circumstances. A good immigration lawyer will work with you to develop a personalized strategy for your visa application.
