24.01.2022 Hi Guys, voicemail system has crashed and burned..We had such a huge response to the ABC interview which has been amazing but our system has been overwhelmed. We have deleted over 400 messages already. I am not ignoring you, I just havent received your message so anyone awaiting a response please email me on [email protected] and the team will work through responses next week have a lovely weekend

24.01.2022 Nothing kills those Monday blues like a lil thank you pressie I have the best clients

24.01.2022 KCM on the news

24.01.2022 Yes this made my day. Atleast someone recognises

24.01.2022 The KCM hamper is looking good for Friday nights North Perth United fundraiser quiz prizes I just want to keep them for myself though thanks to the Lemon Laine Collective for an amazing prize for the ladies too

23.01.2022 People need to know - an employer or partner CANNOT cancel your visa or have you deported! We hear this threat so many times and it can be terrifying to hear that your future is in somebody elses control but know this: Only the department of home affairs can cancel your visa and I have never had a client deported! Worst they can do is notify the department that the relationship (or employment) has ceased... You still have rights - like the right to comment on this information or the right to appeal a refusal or cancellation decision if you get the right advice before it gets to that stage there may even be other pathways to PR So often people are under the impression that partner visas are an easy way to PR. Those days are long gone, government fees are expensive and it can take years before you get PR. In some cases it may be the best option but it is not a quick fix by any means and if it all falls apart please remember this post - you have control over your future, nobody else and we will be here to help you put a strategy in place if you need it or just a chat to get your ducks in a row. We forget that with COVID many people are left here isolated, afraid to leave in case they cant get back and unable to have family over to visit. Even if you just need a chat please reach out and know I am always here with a cuppa tea and am pretty good at solving the most complex issues or a good rant so hit me with it Edwina

23.01.2022 It was great to chat with ABC and get the message out there, how difficult it is to actually obtain a travel exemption into Australia at present on de facto or compelling grounds - most definitely a flawed system and it breaks my heart having to tell people their matter is not compelling enough when they are grieving https://www.abc.net.au//no-compassion:-calls-for-/12945502

22.01.2022 ! Since a number of Perth Migration Agents have had their registration cancelled we have received extensive enquiries in relation to fraudulent and unethical behaviour so we wanted to make this very clear: We do not assist applicants who fabricate work experience We do not assist companies who fabricate positions or who have a reputation for 'selling visas' or other adverse information... Most importantly we do not tolerate clients who lie to us (and yes - concealing or deviating from the truth is also a form of lying). There may be some misconception because of the unbelievable results we achieve but rest assured we achieve these outcomes because we know the legislation and policy inside out and fight for clients who place their trust in us and act with honesty. So please do not waste my time and yours - we have built an excellent relationship with Department of Home Affairs and integrity, honesty and ethics are our primary considerations. We will not be sacrificing this or my registration so you can take the lazy way out and most likely end up with a refusal or ban. There are plenty of other agents who will take your money and promise you the world. We are not a visa factory and don't give the cheapest price or easiest option - for the select clients we do assist we plan overall strategy to achieve outcome in the best way feasible. While we enjoy the banter and a good loophole we want to make our policy very clear so we can continue to assist those who really need it and are willing to follow our direction. This may sound harsh but I fought for nearly 10 years to get my own citizenship and I have seen plenty burned over the years but some never learn and will be the ones back home begging me to help them after they mess up! It is actually an insult to the industry.

22.01.2022 Out of the office today and got a picture from the girls of these lovely flowers that arrived for me from clients that I managed to get a really difficult travel exemption across the line for The appreciation really does mean a lot to me - often you only see the good times on Facebook but believe me there are always difficult times too!! ... These little gestures from clients, that really appreciate the support, make it all worth while Edwina

22.01.2022 - & Anyone looking for further information in relation to the changes to specified work in medical and health care sectors we will answer as many Qs as possible here This is the standard working holiday visa program and normal requirements apply (such as days worked) - just this type of work has been added - details to apply here and clarification on counting the days https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au//work-holid/specified-work... The 408 (COVID stream) visa is a different visa process and links to a particular position and employer - details of this pathway here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au//australian-government-end We do not have further clarification yet on what is deemed "treatment" and what other occupations may be suitable but once we do we will share here - see below for info available on occupations This is definitely true - you can see the link to the legislation released today here https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L01033 Extract on details also below for reference Hopefully the good news keeps coming

21.01.2022 The times they are a changing..and the suspense is killing me. As previously predicted, my guess is there will be a big shake up of the skilled lists. It may be a case of lodge now or forever hold your peace if your occupation is removed Source https://www.google.com.au//s/amp.abc.net./article/12580028

21.01.2022 We have had lots of questions asking if certain work can count for the new working holiday visa announcement - particularly in aged care, pharmacy and different sectors of nursing and medical work. The department have now updated their website with of what may and may not count https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au//work-holid/specified-work Remember the department website is a source of law and the legislation states including but not limited to the work listed - ...my interpretation is that this is very broad definition and open to argument!! While we can not give a yes or no answer - where the legislation is silent there is possibility and we have had some success with similiar wording in the subclass 408 (COVID stream) visa - there is never a guarantee and always a risk when a term is open to interpretation. We cannot give specific advice without conducting an assessment unique to your situation so if you do need further help please book in a phone consult and we will try to post GENERAL information here.

20.01.2022 INSPIRATION So proud of my (not so) little brother. He has been doing Tae Kwon-do since he was 6 years old and has just been promoted to 4th degree black belt. He is the most level headed person I know and has been committed to improving his skill since such a young age, winning 4 medals at the world championships under 18!... The height of that kick is just unbelievable and makes you wonder what you can actually do when you put your mind to it and don’t give up Proud sister moment Edwina

20.01.2022 You asked and we listened..we have now opened up some extra consultation slots for booking online (link below). You can opt for a short phone call or a face to face meeting. Unfortunately we do have very limited availability at present so the fastest way to have your visa problems solved is to lock in a time through our website booking system (as this will show available times slots) These slots are booking up fast so try to secure your spot a couple of weeks in advance to ensure you dont miss out https://www.kingcorporatemigration.com.au/book-online

20.01.2022 The KCM team have started preparing for Xmas early some dance moves #ElfYourself

19.01.2022 Finally got the long awaited email for my own citizenship appointment After such a tough PR battle I put this on the long finger as I had just had enough..despite doing everyone elses Then we realised we needed citizenship approved to get the federal grant in time for our new house build so the pressure was on! Moral of the story do not be like Edwina and put things on the long finger. No matter how long you are in this country you are not secure until you have it and COVID has really brought that fact home. Now just to make sure I dont fail the test and know the national anthem

18.01.2022 This feedback is everything #reviews #Sunday #appreciation #happyclients

18.01.2022 A little more clarity around visa refunds and extensions in today’s announcement

17.01.2022 Lockdown in Perth from 6pm tonight for 5 days!! Anyone with a face to face consult booked for this week we can change to phone consult and will be in touch and only taking phone consultations for the foreseeable future. Stay safe everyone

17.01.2022 Backpackers - the struggle is real

English language requirement implemented for Partner visa applicants and permanent resident sponsors!!

16.01.2022 Only reason I come to work on Fridays anymore is to tell people their PR has been approved I told Jon his PR was going to be refused as there was a critical error made but we would do our best to save it and low and behold it was approved. Just call me Harry Potter - Visa Wizard

16.01.2022 Excellent news for those providing medical treatment, nurses and support services - such as cleaning of medical and health care facilities & equipment, who did not do the standard regional work - anywhere in Australia can be used for this type of critical COVID-19 work. Feel free to contact us for more details Official source https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L01033

15.01.2022 After all my stressing we passed the citizenship test this morning, with a score of 100% for the King. Not bad for someone who didn’t know the national anthem until this week Would highly recommend this app for anyone preparing https://apps.apple.com//australia-citizenship-/id543949259 Edwina...

15.01.2022 I FRIDAYS My clients know me so well - sure I’ll have to go casino now 2 x GTI visas granted; 2 X WA 190 invites; and Flowers for the king

15.01.2022 We now have a portal to lodge travel exemption requests through small steps but getting there https://travel-exemptions.homeaffairs.gov.au/tep

14.01.2022 Visa tips - working holiday visa changes, specified work, 6 month work limitation, travel restrictions, the budget, partner visa changes

14.01.2022 () & TSS grants have been flooding in this week - overcoming obstacles such s48 bars and character issues makes it all the more rewarding - fingers crossed this is a sign of onshore temporary employer sponsored visas returning to normal processing times ... On the other hand, there seems to be significant delays with outbound travel exemption requests. My guess is we will soon see some new policy in this regard and in the interim we are pushing to move these applications to decision for our clients, who are often stuck in difficult circumstances I think this image of lady justice is so powerful and couldn't' be any more appropriate. It seems like the Department are holding the scales right now and weighing the evidence according to undefined standards. The lack of consideration of extremely compelling circumstances and the finality of the decision on travel exemptions has truly been a double edged sword #philosophical Sundays #reflecting on the week Anyone looking for a consultation or guidance, the fastest way to secure a time is to book in on our online system as my schedule is packed at the moment and consultations are limited. https://www.kingcorporatemigration.com.au/book-online We apologise for any delays in response right now but we have tried to focus on helping as many people as possible, who are really stuck in difficult situations. Unfortunately we don't have capacity to help everyone but with the help of Jennie Bardsley at British Travel Australia we have been trying our best Edwina

14.01.2022 Subclass 801 Permanent Partner visa granted within 12 days!! I knew I was good but this is a new record even for me I think this confirms my sneaky suspicion that the department are prioritising partner visas at the moment. After a long day I will definitely cheers to that and what better way than with a bottle of father in law

14.01.2022 We now have PMSOL and new travel exemptions for 17 occupations on this list in medical, health care, construction and IT. A move in the right direction to fill labour shortages with temporary overseas workers

14.01.2022 Absolutely delighted for our client - what a result I’m sure there will be serious celebrations this weekend

14.01.2022 KCM in the news Great to chat with the West Australian about the budget and benefits for the KCM team

13.01.2022 On a roll! Keep them coming guys no better feeling than telling someone their PR has been granted The kind words and appreciation make it all worthwhile

13.01.2022 Nothing brightens up my day like flowers and some appreciation - best clients ever

13.01.2022 WORKING HOLIDAY VISA WOES When the Department requests your bank statements to evidence payment for specified work and you need to spend hours redacting the ONLY FANS transations for the last 6 months. FIFO life..the struggle is real KCM are here to help with these real world issues

12.01.2022 NOTICE TO ALL PARTNER VISA CLIENTS The department have set a deadline to process 70,000 partner visa applications by June 2021! We have started receiving general automated notices over the weekend for ALL applications lodged over the last 2 years. We will send specific instructions via email but at this stage please forward current evidence of relationship (4 pillars), book medicals (bupa is already booking up) and organise new police checks if current are over 12 months. We will be in touch individually but wanted to give everyone a heads up that things are on the move at last and government priority right now is getting partner visas granted quickly

11.01.2022 The good news keeps coming - suitable work on a 408 (COVID stream) Visa may be counted for a working holiday visa!!

11.01.2022 What a week and 2 glowing reviews to finish it off So blessed to have an amazing team to make the magic happen - this is why we do

09.01.2022 We have finally reopened online bookings!! 2 options - in person or online/phone assessment. We don’t offer a 30 minute option anymore as realistically it takes a lot longer than 30 mins to review documents, assess, determine strategy, discuss and follow up with an email so we charge by service, not time. If the time you want does not show this means it has been booked so please get in early and book in advance to secure the time you want and allow enough time prior to your d...eadline. Remember times are AWST so don’t mix up with time differences. Also we have 2 new team members starting in the coming weeks - both highly experienced and ex Department so we are excited to see the new dimensions they bring to our services. Looking forward to solving some new problems - bring it on! Edwina https://www.kingcorporatemigration.com.au/book-online

07.01.2022 Celebrating KCMs number 1 employee reward hard work

07.01.2022 #newofficeviews #atonewithnature #meetingtime #fridays #kcm

07.01.2022 So proud of my two new team members..they have smashed it this week and work so hard behind the scenes to allow me the capacity to build and grow the KCM dream it is so exciting to see them grow and expand their knowledge and build client relationships

07.01.2022 This week we finished a long battle for PR and achieved our best outcome yet. This should have been impossible as usually you need to do a 482 visa on the labour agreement first. Our clients had already been in Australia for over 6 years and were messed around by their employer and thought they had lost their PR opportunity. We looked at things from a completely different perspective and assessed the applicant’s partner, who was told he had no options as a driver. ... The state government told us to withdraw our application as we would not get the 186 and to accept the 482 visa. Using our knowledge of contract law we found a way to argue for the 186 and the client agreed to take the risk and fight for it. I have never had someone put so much faith in me and trust our guidance every step of the way, despite having everything at stake. With their little girl here and another on the way they can finally call Australia home Others told me I was crazy and to accept the 482 but the moral of the story is we don’t take no for an answer, we fight for what we believe is right and the best outcome for our clients. We do not let clients throw money and time away if we can find a better pathway

06.01.2022 Was amazing to finally meet baby Sadie today and see the amazing little family I helped bring together in Australia during COVID 19 - you can see the terror in my face holding something so tiny and precious - all in a days work, turning into a politician

06.01.2022 !! So happy this amazing family got their PR through this week, after a few battles What a way to end the week - sure Ill have to have a Moet tomorrow now to help them celebrate

06.01.2022 Free trade movement negotiations well underway with the UK and Aus time to renew those Uk passports interesting times ahead! We will keep you updated https://youtu.be/rdJwImbWZ_s

05.01.2022 Hi Guys - very limited availability for consults at present. While usually we can accommodate at present we are catching up on rescheduled appointments from lockdown and moving office. You can see available times and book on our website. Unfortunately if it is not showing it means it is not available. Will do another post when we open up face to face options and further availability thank you all for your patience https://www.kingcorporatemigration.com.au/book-online

05.01.2022 It was great to speak with ABC and really voice the issues people are having with travel exemptions at the moment. https://www.google.com.au//s/amp.abc.net./article/12388946

05.01.2022 EOFY and June has been the icing on the cake of a year of achievements In the last month alone KCM has: taken over an AAT appeal hearing from a lawyer, just days before the hearing, and secured a win on our submissions alone - yes they were that good! - Meaning the hearing was cancelled and our client could spend his day on more pressing matters Negotiated unprecedented terms in a 186 labour agreement - meaning pathway to direct PR for an off list occupation... received an invitation for PR for an occupation that should have been removed from the list obtained an invitation for the new global independent distinguished talent visa within days of our interest submissions partner visa grants have been flooding in started working with Vibe Legal to expand our legal horizons Ms King, our Principal Agent, is completing additional studies to practice in other areas of Australian law While it is disappointing that we should be in Ireland now, celebrating our friends wedding, we are so thankful for the amazing year and business we have built here Slainte and thank you to all our amazing clients

05.01.2022 Changes are looming - prepare for immi account to go down on 30 Jun 2020 and ensure you lodge your visa in advance of expiry to allow for any issues in immi account. This time of year is known for technical issues

04.01.2022 I feel like Carrie from Sex and the City - spending my Friday nights writing The topic may not be as exciting but this is my take on the legality of decision making on travel exemptions, for those that are interested #legallyblonde http://www.kingcorporatemigration.com.au//covid-19-has-aus

03.01.2022 Hi Guys - just wanted to share as we have seen a huge increase in working holiday visa refusals and cancellations. So much for the department being lenient during COVID! The main reason for refusals is the work completed doesnt come under the definition of specified work - yes there is actually a definition! Particularly for Mining and Construction work you have to refer to the ANZSIC codes (links below). If it is not covered within the codes it likely wont count. Back i...n the day the Department were very lenient in terms of the relevancy and people got away with housekeeping and all sorts. This is not the case now and the department website particularly states cooking, catering and cleaning on a mine site is NOT eligible work. I have posted the relevant links below and please read and do your due diligence before wasting 3 months in the sticks https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au//work-holid/specified-work https://www.abs.gov.au///5F75040625DF52F7CA257B9500133C44 https://www.abs.gov.au///4B85CFC8E4AB4A02CA257B9500133B79

03.01.2022 Absolutely delighted for our client - what a result Im sure there will be serious celebrations this weekend

03.01.2022 NEW PHONE NUMBER +61 86 313 3395 Hi All, we have been moving office so had a temporary mobile number while getting the new landline set up. The above number is our current number. Apologies to anyone who was calling our old numbers. I’m not ignoring you Also fastest way to get me is always by email as I can check faster between consults

03.01.2022 Happy long weekend Absolutely buzzing for my lil doll of a client - Got to call her yesterday with the amazing news that herself and her partner had gotten a year 408 (COVID) visa granted! It may seem straight forward but this couple were about to pay almost $10k for a ONE YEAR sponsored visa (because the employer wanted to save costs on their side) and their previous lawyer advised this was the ONLY option. They came to me and I told them they were absolutely mad to pay t...hat money and I could get them the same one year visa for FREE. I think they thought I was mad. Now they are off enjoying their long weekend and we got his skills assessment stage 1 through in record time and a lovely PR pathway set up - where their hard earned cash can be better used Remember guys there is more than one way to skin a cat and our goal is always to find the fastest, cheapest and most risk averse way to achieve your goals (No cats were harmed in the making of this post ). That’s my dose of positivity for the weekend. Enjoy guys Edwina

03.01.2022 It was great to discuss our insights on the Global Talent Visa with MeiLin Chew. This visa has gotten some negative press recently and I genuinely don’t understand it. For years we have been lobbying for visa options for those highly talented and over 45. There has been a gap in the market to attract this level of candidate since the retirement visa closed and in my opinion this is an excellent move to build technology, business and further economic growth and jobs #globaltalentvisa #business #technology #mining #thewestaustralian #KCM #migration

03.01.2022 KCM 2nd birthday tomorrow I can’t believe it has been 2 YEARS!! It is amazing to see how far we have come and I could not have done any of this without the support of my amazing clients, particularly the Irish community 2 years ago I had a little medical scare that made me rethink everything. I upped and walked away from a job in a law firm - when I am ONLY an agent and should have been privileged to work there I sat at the kitchen table not knowing what I wanted to d...o. I was supposed to be resting but after a couple of hours I had thought of a name, logo, designed business cards, made a domain, created a website, registered an ABN, opened business bank accounts and all of a sudden I had a business I don’t do things by halves anyway and I did it all myself - with Gary Nolan cheering me on To be honest I had no idea how to run a business. I just knew I loved migration law and helping people who were in situations like I was in. I spent my days calling people and fixing the problems I actually wanted to fix - using my skills and specialized knowledge to help those who really needed it. I was hooked and this has been my driving factor since. It has been a roller coaster, but 2 years on I just want to say thank you so much to those who supported me from day one, who trusted me with their future before I had reviews and was not well known and to those that still go out of their way to sing my praises..you will never know how much this genuinely means to me and makes the battles all worthwhile.. to many more years changing lives and to always commiting to giving back to my community - I will never forget where I came from and those who supported me when I had nothing. If you are ever stuck with a visa issue please reach out and I will do my best to help Edwina

03.01.2022 Well done to the boys at North Perth United who won the premier league title today. I think the KCM kit brought you good luck

02.01.2022 Another travel exemption request approved today and my two tricky ones finally approved last week - after months of arguing and extensive submissions!! I cannot explain the happiness this brings me Because we are doing so well here in WA sometimes I think people forget we are in the midst of a global pandemic and even people who should qualify for an exemption are struggling. It is not realistic to try get someone in from overseas on a temporary visa right now unless they m...eet one of the grounds and have a strong argument - as difficult as this may be. Generally I specialize in skilled and partner visas and dont touch on the humanitarian side of migration but this area of work has been completely different and has brought me back to my Psychology days. My tenacity seems to work to my advantage and I have been fighting non stop for these people - one who was separated from her partner and forced to have an emergency termination at 16 weeks and medical negligence during quarantine. I cannot imagine what that poor girl has gone through and am so happy we could give them the gift of reuniting. Just wanted to share a little insight as sometimes it may look like I live the life of Reilly but rest assured I am constantly fighting for my clients and these wins are what mean the most to me. At KCM we really are changing lives Edwina

01.01.2022 Excellent news for recent international graduates who got stuck overseas after studying in Australia. This new measure allows individuals to apply for the subclass 485 visa while overseas during the concession period and to be granted the visa while overseas (which was not previously possible). This is critical for people who were close to 6 months since completing studies! Other changes also included :) https://www.legislation.gov.au//Explanatory%20Stateme/Text

01.01.2022 Legislation now implemented work on a 408 (COVID stream) visa in medical or healthcare sectors (anywhere in Australia) to count as specified work (for working holiday visas) now implemented subclass 124 offshore significant talent visa has been removed and offshore applications will fall under the subclass 858 visa... Full legislation linked below but this is the key gist of it https://www.legislation.gov.au//Explanatory%20Stateme/Text

01.01.2022 This is why we do
