Distinguished Talent Applicant Subclass 858 Visa - “Our trip to Australia started when we saw the possibility of applying for the Distinguished Talent Visa but we started in Melbourne with a Student Visa since my partner wanted to study there and my children also wanted to see the prospect of being able to study in another culture.

That year it served to give us an idea of ​​life in Australia, make contacts, creating a network of in my case artists in both Australia and New Zealand. And one of the most important things during this time was finding a Migration Agent specialized in this type of visa, since the first immigration agent told us that we could not apply for the Distinguished Talent Visa because it was very difficult to obtain it.

Once we were lucky enough to find Michelle Lingham, recommended by another immigration agent as the best Distinguished Talent Visa specialist in Australia and after passing an evaluation with her, we started to collect all the data we needed for the application. We are in time against time as the student visa was running out and we had to do a great job to get the documentation.

I can say that this was not easy, it took five months to get everything ready, working with Michelle almost every day. Once Michelle made the application and was uploaded to migration, I think the most difficult season came because you are in no man's land, assuming one day that it is possible but also having the possibility of being denied. I think that is why it is very important to have an immigration agent specialized in this type of visa because in the dark moments you know that you have the support of Michelle and she as a specialist generates a lot of confidence in the whole process, you feel that you have the support of someone who it takes many visa processes like these.

After 13 eternal months of waiting, the department of migration contacted us, and the most fantastic thing is that he did not ask us for any extra documentation,  only the medical test and data update. I think this is because the application was sent with great success, once the documentation was updated in a couple of days, we received permanent residence.

I want to thank Michelle for her professionalism and all her support during the immigration process and of course I highly recommend her services.”

Distinguished Talent Applicant Subclass 858 Visa - “I was recently awarded a Distinguished Talent Visa (subclass 858) thanks to the hard work of my Visa Consultant Michelle Lingham. I first met her on the Gold Coast in 2016 through a friend who was also her client. Initially I was daunted by the challenge of all the requirements needed for a permanent visa but Michelle reassured me that she could guide me through that path.  

Having said that it was still a long and difficult path to get a permanent visa. She always encouraged me when there were obstacles. For example when I lost confidence in being able to pass the IELTS test or when I couldn't understand something she would get her Japanese colleague to explain it to me. She was always there for me even when I was in Japan we maintained good communication through phone and internet to complete all the tasks.  

Currently it is difficult to get a permanent visa in Australia but I was able to achieve my goal with Michelle because of her enthusiasm to work, strong communication skills and considerate nature.  

I really appreciate her dedication and I'm proud of the work we did together.

Distinguished Talent Applicant Subclass 124 Visa - “I was approved my distinguished talent visa in February, 2018 and I am currently working in a film industry. I was introduced Michelle Lingham by my friend who also used her company and got approved his PR visa as well. When I first met her at her office in Sydney, she was very friendly and serious about my consultation. Plus, she looked she had a confidence about my case. My case might be unique because I applied my VISA from my country not in Australia.

She recommend to apply it in Australia because the process was easier than from out of country, but I chose applying from my country because I already had my plan in my country. However, she accepted my opinion. So, we started to work together between my county and Australia. The most difficulty for working together was time difference and we sometimes missed chances talking on the phone even though made the time to chat. But she patiently continued to make another time to have a calling time even though she was very busy.

Every time, she gave me assessments and advice how to do them gently. I have experience to apply another type of VISA in a different of county and the service of the visa consulting company was so bad. They were not helpful for my assessment. They just told me to get documents without advise and no help basically. So, I was very struggled with collecting my documents. But Michelle always listened to my words and helped me how I can solve a problem.

This was my first good experience for using Visa consulting company. She was not only helpful her clients but also her job was excellent high level. I would not be able be approved my VISA without her steady support. She understands a feeling of second language speaker. I had an anxiety about English because there were a lot of difficult words in the application document and assessments. But she explained them until I made clear.

I believe Michelle Lingham and her company are specialized for Immigrant VISA, especially Permanent Residency visa including Distinguished Talent visa.”
