How to Emigrate to Australia
Aldous
Franx asks Web
Migration some of the most common questions for people wanting to
emigrate down-under:
Q.
How will I know if I qualify to emigrate to Australia?
A. By undertaking the Quick Eligibility Assessment. Once this assessment
has been completed and forwarded to us, via email or fax, we will be
able to report on your ability to migrate. Our report will be based
on the criteria set by D.I.M.I.A. (Department of Immigration, Migration,
and Indigenous Affairs). To ensure the accuracy of this process you
must be as clear and concise as possible when answering or entering
your data on the Quick Eligibility Assessment available in the right-hand
column on our website.
Q. What steps will I need to undertake to migrate to Australia?
A. Once the visa category applicable to your background has been established,
we will then make the necessary arrangements to have your qualifications
assessed. On receipt of the positive response from the assessing authority
we prepare the main submission to D.I.M.I.A. We then lead, guide and
advise you from the time you appoint us, as your agent, to the issuance
of your visa.
Q. What do you mean by 'No Visa No Fee'?
A. Web Migration will not accept cases that have little chance of success
and we therefore make the offer that we will not charge for our time
and efforts in preparing a visa application which is subsequently rejected
by D.I.M.I.A. (Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous
Affairs), provided that you, the client, have provided to us, in a timely
manner, complete, detailed and correct information and there have been
no changes in Government policy or legislation. Please note that there
is no refund for fees paid to Government Departments or Assessing Authorities.
Q. How long will my application take?
A. The processing time for a skilled visa application is approximately
40 weeks, although this time can vary from one case to another. Other
types of visas may take longer. Delays will occur if the application
is incomplete, you fail to respond to us in a timely manner, there is
missing supporting documentation, or the embassy is inundated with work.
Q. How can I find out how my application is going?
A. In managing the migration program, the Australian government may
suspend processing and/or apply limit caps to the number of visas granted.
When a cap is applied applications continue to be processed, however,
no visas will be granted once the maximun number has been reached. We
will keep you informed as appropriate.
Q. Can you help me find employment in Australia?
A. When your visa application reaches its concluding stage we will give
you detailed advice about employment, including how to find a job, working
conditions and information regarding income tax. However, we recommend
you assess your job prospects in Australia, as the labour market can
vary from time to time.
Q. Should I sell my assets once my application is lodged?
A. No. When the application is approved the embassy will allow several
months for you to settle your affairs before leaving your current location.
Q. Will I qualify for Social Security payments?
A. No, not for two years. However, you will qualify for family allowance
payments, if you have children, and rent assistance might be available
in some cases.
Q. If I arrive in Australia as a permanent resident but have not been
granted citizenship, can I leave Australia for holidays or work or family
reasons?
A. Yes. Permanent residents can leave Australia temporarily, provided
they have applied to the Immigration Department for a return Visa. Please
check with us or D.I.M.I.A.(Department of Immigation, Multiculural and
Indigenous Affairs) before leaving Australia.
Q.
Do you have an office in my country?
A. Webb Migration is based in Perth, Western Australia, however, we
do have affiliated agents in other parts of the world. A list of participating
agents is available from us. However you can communicate with us online,
from anywhere in the world. This is our prefered method of communication.
Q.
Are you qualified to provide Immigration Advice and are you a registered
company?

is 9801949. We are also a member of the Migration Institute of Australia
(MIA). We are also a registered company, our Australian Company Number
