Visa grant period
“2019-2020 was and is such a difficult time. Especially for visa applications as you need to put your trust in the system hoping that your financial commitment will bare fruits. Knowing that another outbreak can cause all visa applications to stop or be cancelled. For my wife and I applying for Australian Permanent Residency was a big step and receiving it a dream come true. Having AHWC on our side, to walk this road with us and taking care of all the paperwork and communications, was truly a stress relief and weight off our shoulders. Thank you AHWC for all you have done. We received our PR, despite living in Melbourne, in the height of the pandemic. My children now have a future in this great and wonderful country”
