LML5001 Applied Australian Migration Law And Practice

Question:

You are registered as a migration agent in a company.

At an agreed time, you will conduct twenty minute telephone interviews with potential clients (your assessor/ instructor).

Your client has made initial contact with your company and you have been given the following file:

“Ruth Fitzgerald (a Canadian citizen) is currently visiting Australia with her children on a Visitor visa. Subclass 600

Ruth wants to find out if she can obtain an onshore Parent Visa to permanently stay in Australia.

Before you meet with your client, you should do some research on the Migration Regulations and Act. This will help you be ready to phone her and answer all her questions.

While communication skills will be the main focus of this part, it is also important to remember that clients are not expected to trust you with their information.

The potential client must establish a professional rapport with you. You should also demonstrate the ability to gather relevant facts and information.

If you cannot answer the client’s questions, then you should respond accordingly.

It is important to follow a structured interview: listen to the client, ask questions, gather information, advise, close.

I’m in great health.

Based on what I have seen and subjected to further review, I believe you may qualify.

A subclass 600 visitor’s Visa that allows you to stay in Australia and visit your loved ones for an unspecified time.

Because most of your family lives in Australia, you can become eligible for citizenship in New Zealand. As a Canadian resident, you should be familiarized with the commonwealth laws that apply to those three countries.

If necessary, we will discuss your visa conditions with you, how they affect your situation, and what we can do.

A visitor’s Visa subclass 600 allows you to stay and visit your loved ones in Australia for a unspecified time.

The majority of your family members are located in Australia and eligible for citizenship in New Zealand. You should therefore be familiar with the laws of the commonwealth.

The visa conditions are very good and need to be eliminated.

Within the next 2 days, I’ll write you to outline your visa options in depth and tell you what documents are required.

In order to determine the visa option, there are several documents you might need.

The passport is the first document.

This document provides the required details for the individual who is applying for the visa.

The colored passport is an additional document.

The purpose of a colored passport is to make it easy for the applicant to be identified.

An accredited medical institution must also issue a medical checkup certification.

If you are satisfied by my advice and need further assistance, please call my office and set up an appointment.

And we’ll take it from there.
