FAQ
Common questions.
Short answers to what people ask us most. For advice on your own case, book a consultation.
Who will handle my visa application?
A Registered Migration Agent prepares and lodges your application: Pawan Khatiwada (MARN 2518931) or Pradip Mishra (MARN 2619448). Pradip is also a New Zealand Licensed Immigration Adviser (licence 202604740).
How much do your services cost?
It depends on the visa and your situation. After the first consultation we give you a written service agreement setting out our professional fees, government charges and other costs before any paid work starts.
Can you guarantee my visa will be granted?
No. Visa decisions are made by the Department of Home Affairs (or Immigration New Zealand). Our job is to give you honest advice and prepare the strongest application possible.
Can I meet online if I’m overseas?
Yes. Choose a video or phone call when you book. We also have offices in Glenroy, Parramatta and Kathmandu (Putalisadak and Maharajgunj).
Do you help with New Zealand visas?
Yes. Pradip Mishra holds a Full Licence with the Immigration Advisers Authority (licence 202604740), so we can advise on New Zealand immigration as well as Australia.
Are the online points calculators accurate?
They give an estimate based on published government rules at the date shown. They are not advice and can’t cover every rule that applies to you, so please book a consultation before you rely on a result.
