Advantage Migration Pty Ltd Testimonials
August 2009
It is thanks to Advantage Migration (especially Dianne
Perry), that I am able to write this testimonial from my home here in
beautiful Perth. I asked for guidance from three of AMA's competitors
prior to speaking to Dianne and was knocked back by all - one even going
so far as to tell me I was 'both too old, and too thick!' to ever successfully
make it to Oz!
Their assessment may well have been 'spot on' on a
number of fronts, but only Dianne was willing to go the extra mile to
correctly assess my actual chances of achieving my goal to live in Australia.
Advantage Migration provided me with a college course and a student
visa, together with more than enough experience, expertise, guidance
and simple encouragement needed to see the planning and application
journey through to a smooth conclusion.
Dianne has always been both approachable, friendly
and available (despite the obvious time differences) then was even good
enough to provide us with much needed (and it should be said - luxury)
accommodation upon my family's arrival in Perth. Two years down the
track, we are settled, I have graduated and now applying for permanent
residency. We have called on Dianne's services again and would not hesitate
to recommend others families looking to better their lives to do the
same.
Thanks AMA and many thanks Dianne.

Thank you Dianne for organising our Visa, we were so happy with the
friendly and professional manor we received. There was also a high level
of correspondence to us, keeping us informed of the current situation
and steps to follow during the visa process.
I would definitely recommend Advantage Migration to
anyone considering moving to Australia and seeking a visa.
Take care and don't work too hard.

Thank you Dianne, for all your help and understanding getting us to
Perth. We decided to use your Advantage Migration service because we
went to many seminars and some agents told us we would have the subclass136
in three months. Dianne was straight with us from start to finish and
made applying for the visa as easy as possible.
On arriving in Perth we were picked up at the airport
and taken to Dianne’s transit apartment, there we found food,
cereal etc in the cupboard and milk, juice etc. in the fridge to get
us by till we got ourselves on our feet. This service is first class
and more than we expected. If I had to do it again I would go back to
Dianne without hesitation.
After working in the country for three months I received
an email from Dianne about a grant I was entitled to with the Brickies
Foundation, I asked my friends at work and they didn’t know about
it. So a big thanks to Dianne for getting all the boys at work their
$2,000 grant as well as me, none of their agents knew about it.
Many thanks,
Mickey Towe and family

Hi Dianne,

Dear Dianne,
I am so pleased that it was your company that we approached about emigration.
You have been such a help to me and my family, If all Australian citizens
show the same warmth and dedication as yourself, especially towards
complete strangers, then I will not give up hope of emigration and will
seek to gain some extra qualifications that may help our case. You have
been a real inspiration to me and I sincerely thank you.
Yours,
Den

Hi Dianne,
Thank you, I am thrilled at the news, I made it!!!
Hey, it’s hard work and sometimes the bureaucracy is head wrecking
but there is nothing like the feeling of getting the message that you
have your visa! It’s just a great feeling.
I definitely think that it makes things much more bearable
having you to guide me through with direction and sound advice. And
a little heads up every now and then.
No more dreaming about it, I am going to be there!!!
Thank you very much for the support.
OZ, here I come!

Hello Dianne,
We are so glad we met you at the expo in Amsterdam 2 years ago. After
months of waiting to qualify, then all the paperwork and of course a
lot of help from you we finally received our grant letter!
Your email with the great news came as a complete surprise.
We are still a little bit in heaven! And we still can't believe it.
Our passports are already on their way to Berlin, Germany. We are now
sorting out our stuff and are looking for movers to get everything down
under.
Again, thank you so much for everything you did for
us!!!
You're the best!!!

Dianne,
My apologies for a somewhat muted reaction this morning when you rang
personally to tell me our visa had been granted, you caught me and Betty
unaware as we had just woken up.
This is absolutely fantastic news and we are all really
delighted, I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for
me and my family and if you were standing in front of me I would have
thrown my arms around you! It’s also great that we have done it
in 15 weeks; a new record for you.
Hearing the news has set the dream into reality now
so it is all about doing the move now. Hopefully I will speak to you
very soon. And again thank you, you have given me and my family a new
head start in life.
Regards and this is not goodbye, it is just Au Revoir,

When I began my research into how I could migrate
to Australia, I was left bemused by the minefield that is the migration
process. I didn’t know where to start, family and friends offered
advice, but with all the best intentions in the world, we still didn’t
understand what I needed to do. After being told by different agents,
I had to wait another 2 years to apply, I attended a Free Seminar in
Liverpool then in a one hour personal consultation, Dianne managed to
clarify everything. When I first signed up to work with Dianne’s
Company, I have to admit I was a little unsure how well we would work
together.
I knew nothing of Dianne or her
credentials and there was the distance and time difference in terms
of communication. However, any reservations I had were soon dispelled
from the first email I received. From the moment we began this journey
until now, not once has Dianne let me down. She has walked me through
my skills assessment and state sponsorship, explained everything I needed
to do and basically done the donkey work for me. Anything I was unsure
of, Dianne answered promptly with clarity.
A work colleague who is a computer
analyst has applied with his fiancé to migrate to the Gold coast.
He has not used a migration agent and has done it himself with the help
of family in Australia. Twelve months on and he is going nowhere. He
keeps finding out that there are more and more stages to his application,
more forms to fill in and even then he has admitted to me that he is
not too sure if he has filled them in correctly. I have not once had
to worry about a thing, apart from receiving approval from Vetassess
and the State. I know I could have saved money by trying to apply myself,
but if you are totally serious about migrating, seeking professional
advice is a must.
Without a shadow of a doubt, using
Dianne’s Migration Company is the best thing I could have done.
I can’t wait to be back in Australia.
Thanks again,
Ben - Liverpool, UK

When I first considered the prospect of immigrating to Australia I
spent many hours of research considering how I was going to deal with
the daunting task of the application process. Cleary there was a good
case to use an immigration agent to guide me through the application.
The problem was finding a competent agent who I could trust. I spent
days searching the internet for immigration agents. Quite by luck I
stumbled onto the web site for www.advantagemigration.com I was pleasantly
surprised to find this Perth, Australia based company listed contact
details.
I took the opportunity to call the owner of the company Dianne Perry
who appeared on the web site. I got directly through to Dianne, no switchboard
and no "I'm afraid someone will have to call you back", it
was a pleasant surprise. Dianne Perry clearly understood the immigration
application process and gave helpful initial advice followed by a fixed
quote to manage my TRA & VISA application.
Throughout the whole process Dianne's expert advice has proved invaluable.
Dianne dealt with all of my many queries in her prompt, helpful &
proactive manner. The whole process of collecting & submitting the
documents required for the TRA application, VISA application, medicals
and police checks took approx 5 months to present to the authorities.
A month later and thanks to Dianne anticipating everything that the
authorities would require our application for Immigration was approved
today.
Dianne, I just can't thank you enough for the excellent service you
have given us which has resulted in our application being successful.
Big hugs and continuous praise are in order when we see you next week!

Hi Dianne,
W e are now on the net and have a new home address. Thank you for the
apartment rental it was a great start. The 2nd house we rented was a
dump and we went out and rented this place with 2 weeks still left on
that rental we just had to get out of it, I would be ashamed to rent
that place out. Still you learn by your mistakes.The kids are in school
I have a nice job in a small chemical factory in Balcata and Allison
is working, so everything is starting to come together.
Keep in touch and take care,
Tony, Allison, Sam and Kate.

update email to let you know that me and Eamonn are still alive and

is out surfing everyday after work so is loving the 3pm finishing time.

Hi Dianne,
Just had to let you know we have our passports back with what must be
the most beautiful piece of paper ever printed. We are at the stage
now where we are experiencing all emotions about our move. It can't
come quick enough for us. We just hope this house sells quickly. Are
you still coming to Newcastle? Thanks again for all your help and support.

Well where do we begin!!! We met Dianne from Advantage Migration in
the winter of 2005, we had read an advertisement in our local newspaper
which had ‘escape to Australia’ highlighted in it, we went
to a seminar on a rainy, cold dark evening in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. We
were really enthused and impressed with the presentation. We signed
up for a one to one session and felt that Dianne was genuinely interested
in us and would do all she could for us…
We arrived in Australia in July 2005 for a three week ‘Rekkie’
and took in Gold Coast, Cairns and finally Perth, Dianne arranged to
spend a day with us in Perth and took us out and about, I remember her
kindness and how we fell in love with Perth that day, Dianne never asked
for us to sign on any dotted line nor did she ask for any payment….
we were allowed to take our times as it was a big decision to involve
an emigration agent…and boy did we make the right choice when
we (eventually) did sign in August 2005. Dianne has been fantastic and
has been there for us every step of the way, our visas were granted
on 9th March 2006 while Dianne was in Ireland and she was straight on
the telephone to congratulate us!!! (She had received a call from the
case officer at 5 am that day).
I would recommend Advantage Migration to anyone, the personal and caring
service Dianne gives is wonderful, she really does love her job, and
genuinely cares about her clients, which is something which is often
rare in the world of business, we can’t wait to arrive in Perth
on June 26th to start our ‘Escape to Australia’
Thanks again Dianne, you’ve made our dreams come true

We got your message yesterday afternoon and still can’t believe
it !
We would both like to say a big thank you for all your help & assistance,
you have been great ! Given us good advice and kept us positive at all
times especially when we became anxious over our medicals.
Can I just say that we are both very happy and wouldn’t hesitate
in recommending you to anyone who was interested in migrating to Australia.
We have a lot to do now and I have to say that its hard to concentrate
at work while this is all still sinking in.
Speak with you soon

I used the services of Advantage Migration Australia
to obtain a skilled migration visa for an Accountant. We met up in December
2004 and by August 2005 I was granted my permanent visa. The key to
their success is that they provide a highly professional service with
excellent communication at all stages of the visa process. I am now
happily settled and enjoying my new life in Brisbane thanks to Advantage
Migration Australia.

If you are reading this, you must be considering emigrating to Australia!
Let me save you lots of time, heartache and MONEY!!! When my husband
and I considered emigrating to Australia we attended a seminar in London
and happened upon Advantage Migration Australia and a lady who was really
interested in what we were saying. Not just focusing on the fact that
we wanted to emigrate, she took an interest in why we wanted to go and
what we wanted for our future lives in the land down under!
Guiding us step by step along the way, Dianne has turned out to be not
only a fantastic agent but the rock of stability when things have waivered
and the fountain of all knowledge in things both domestic and Australian!!
With passionate devotion to her clients, nothing is ever too much trouble
- not even at 01.30 in the morning or from the desert of Dubai, from
where she phoned to tell us that our visas had been granted!
The complexities of the migration process can catch out even the most
discerning applicant and I can only recommend that you get Advantage
Migration Australia on your side. A consumate professional, Dianne knows
her onions and knows the Department of Immigration and Multicultural
and Indigenous Affairs even better! If you want to go Waltzing Matilda
don't wait until your billy has boiled, get Dianne onto it for you now!
This woman is fast, furious and fantastic! A true professional, she
has earned every penny of the realistic fee that was invoiced and we
can't wait to call ourselves her "Neighbours" in October of
2005. There is, simply, no better.

Dianne,
Many thanks for all of your efforts, the main reason I wanted a Migration
Agent was because I did not know my way around the system and I needed
a professional. I was extremely lucky to have found you, especially
as you have managed to get me to Perth (where we really wanted to be)
through a window that appears to have been open for only a few days.
I know that there is still some way to go but I am confident because
you are telling me to be so, and I trust your judgement.
Obviously I was delighted by your phone call and I look forward to hearing
from you next week wrt timings etc. We would really like to plan a move
date and avoiding a significant dead time between me leaving and getting
out to get some serious job hunting done is important to us, as is making
sure that Kieran does not get caught in the middle of two school terms.
Once again, many thanks and I hope you can enjoy Windsor and that you
are not too busy to get out a little!
Warm Regards,
Paul.

Hi Craig,
Yes, we did use Advantage Migration Australia, and the agent was Dianne
Perry. We got an excellent service from her, always replied to your
emails promptly within 24hrs and answered all the questions we had.
Would definitely recommend using her, as we got our visa in 7 months
from the time we first met up with her. She quite
often does trips over here to do seminars so its worth checking out
her website to find out when she is next over, I think it might be June.
Lindsay.
