Satisfied Clients

 

"We have tried a number of migration companies in Australia within the last few years, and Glenn is a breath of fresh air. We've had problems with promises made by other agents before, but GW Migration are very open, honest and trustworthy. Glenn's experience was clear to see right from the initial enquiry and there is no way we would every consider choosing a different agent ever again - Glenn and GW Migration come highly recommended from the team at Bean Media Group"
 
Bean Media Group – Subclass 457 Visa Sponsorship
 
“Hi Glenn,
            It was great to get the visa and Ket arrived on the 24th December (my Xmas present). It was all thanks to you and as you know I wrote and wrote letters with no result, it was not until I came to you and you pointed out the responses required that we made progress. I would most certainly recommend you to anyone who is frustrated with the visa system, you know how to get results”

John English – Prospective Marriage and Spouse Visa
 
"GW Migration handled our business's recent Visa application professionally and efficiently. Staff were even made available after hours to ensure that the application was submitted in the most timely manner. Most impressive of all was that the application came back approved within just 2 business days! I highly recommend GW for all your Visa needs."

“We are very happy to choose Glenn’s service for our PR application.  To my great satisfaction, he displayed a great sense of responsibility for the pieces of work. We highly appreciate his capability, responsibility, and great perseverance in all jobs required for our PR application. I believe that Glenn has possessed most of the good qualities that we expect from an immigration agent who ensures the success of the application.”
 
Mr Nguyen, The University of Queensland – Skilled Migration Visa
 
I would like to thank Glenn Wellburn from GW Migration, for being so instrumental in bringing my husband Juan to Australia. His professional and personalised service was much appreciated.  I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the visa was granted – approx 2 ½ months from lodgement of the forms to the grant of the 309 Spouse Visa.  Glenn was particularly helpful in keeping us informed during the entire procedure (including while he was on leave) - this kept us in the loop and less stressed as we always knew the status of everything. This gave me confidence in his ability and expertise.
It was such a relief to have Glenn organise our paperwork as it seem quite daunting to lodge so many forms by yourself. I don’t doubt for one minute that it helped us avoid many issues and misunderstanding which we could have encountered had I done it myself! We will definitely be contacting GW Migration in two years time to help us through the process in applying for the Permanent Residency Visa.
I would highly recommend GW Migration to anyone - they truly took the hassles and worry out of the equation. Thanks again for your friendly and professional service Glenn.
Jeannette Saez & Juan Chulles - Spouse Visa
 
We were so relieved to find someone who not only knew what they were doing but who also were genuinely interested in our plight to get a visa for my partner to be able to stay in Australia. From our first phone call we felt the stress and confusion of the whole process fading away. Not only was Glenn very friendly and approachable he also suggested better options for us which in turned gave us a more secure outcome. We will be retuning to GW Migration to finalise the process in two years time.
