I don't know which visa I need. Can you still help?

Yes. You do not need the visa number. Tell us who you are, who you are with, and what you are trying to do. The first conversation is to advise which visa applies.

Do I have to come to Melbourne?

No. The office is at Level 14, 333 Collins Street if you want to sit down in person. Most clients use Zoom, from Australia or overseas.

How does an initial consultation work?

You can meet us at Level 14, 333 Collins Street, or on Zoom. We look at your history, explain the options that actually apply, and say what a proper application would involve. Booking a consultation is not a client engagement.

Do I have to come to the Melbourne office?

No. You are welcome at Level 14, 333 Collins Street. We also meet clients across Australia and overseas on Zoom, and you can call or message the practice.

“I'm very grateful for the support I received from EMC throughout my visa process. My situation was quite complex, as I initially came on a student visa, faced a refusal, lodged an appeal, and later transitioned to a Subclass 309 application. At one point, I genuinely thought I would have to return overseas to continue the process. However, EMC carefully assessed my circumstances and found a solution that allowed me to remain onshore, which made a significant difference both emotionally and practically.”

“I had a very positive experience with EMC Australia for my partner visa application. They were professional, supportive, and guided us clearly throughout the process. Thanks to their help, my permanent partner visa was approved much sooner than expected, I applied on 29 May and received the approval on 3 June, just 5 days!! I really appreciate their efficient service and support. I would highly recommend EMC Australia to anyone looking for reliable assistance with their visa application.”

“Thank you, EMC Australia, for helping me throughout my visa journey. They assisted me from my Partner Visa (820) application which only took 7 months all the way to my Permanent Partner Visa (801) approval in less than a week. The team was helpful, professional, and always ready to answer our questions. Their guidance made the whole process much easier and less stressful. I am very grateful for their support and highly recommend EMC Australia to anyone needing migration assistance.”

“Responsive and efficient service. EMC and the proprietor demonstrated professionalism, competence, and a human-centered approach while meeting the prescribed timeline and successfully achieving my goals.”

“We had an amazing experience with EMC! They helped us obtain our Partner Visa (Subclass 820) in under 14 months, and we couldn't be happier with the result. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive. They guided us through every step of the process. Their communication was always clear and reassuring, which made a very stressful process much easier. Thanks to their help, everything went smoothly and successfully. We are extremely grateful and would highly recommend EMC.”
