I cannot express my gratitude enough for Aishwarya and her incredible team at Emerson Migration Law. Aishwarya helped me navigate the intricate process of applying for my permanent residency, and I am thrilled to say that I received it in an astounding three months' time. The level of professionalism and expertise exhibited by Aishwarya and her team not only met but exceeded my highest expectations.From the very beginning of our journey, Aishwarya provided me with expert guidance, unparalleled attention to detail, and a warm, supportive approach that made the immigration process significantly less daunting. Her knowledge of immigration laws and regulations is truly commendable, and it is evident that she and her team are committed to delivering results with the utmost dedication.What sets Aishwarya's practice apart is the comprehensive teamwork that ensures a seamless experience. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Amelia, the legal assistant, whose support and diligence were invaluable throughout the process. Her prompt responses and assistance made the entire journey smoother.I'd also like to acknowledge Ben at the front desk, who handled all my inquiries and ensured that all administrative aspects were managed with precision and efficiency. Their collective effort played a pivotal role in achieving the remarkable three-month turnaround for my permanent residency.Throughout the entire process, I was kept well-informed, and any questions or concerns I had were promptly addressed. Aishwarya's ability to streamline the permanent residency application process was truly remarkable, resulting in a smooth and efficient experience for me.I highly recommend Aishwarya's legal services to anyone seeking assistance with immigration matters. If you are in search of a professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable immigration lawyer, look no further. Aishwarya and her team are simply exceptional. I am incredibly grateful for their support and for helping me achieve my permanent residency status in record time.Thank you, Aishwarya, Amelia, and Ben, and your entire team, for making this life-changing process such a positive and successful experience.

Partner visa in 2 months! We used Emerson Migration for our Partner Visa. We had a few consultations with other companies before meeting with Aishwarya. She was by far the most professional, confident, "peace giving" and competent lawyer we spoke to (and a great price!). We also worked closely with Amelia who was our case manager. She was absolutely brilliant - super helpful with our questions and concerns and made the process very smooth. We thought the process could take up to 12 + months but it only took 2 months! We are super grateful for Aishwayra, Amelia and the Emerson team. Much love and thanks!

My partner started the process, and Covid shook our world. Thanks to the amazing support from EML, and the meticulous attention to detail, my partner is now a permanent resident of Australia. No way would I ever consider trying to do this process myself - get a professional, and make sure they are up to the task. EML definitely meets the requirements!!

I cannot recommend Emerson enough! I first contacted them in April 2022, but due to some life events, I was only able to submit my partner visa application in February 2023. Throughout that time, and post-application, I always felt supported and cared for. All my questions and concerns were answered, and they always made sure I felt comfortable to ask anything. I truly could not have gone through this experience without them, especially with the numerous stressful life events I have gone through this past year. A special thank you to Aishwarya, Grace and Ben - I am so happy I got you all on my team.

I needed to get a visa for my partner to come to Australia. I had done an application myself and the visa was declined. After working with Emerson Law we got the visa approved in one week. Emerson Law were very helpful and professional.

A very good outcome yesterday with my complex visa situation since 2019 it was so complicated that I have doubts and lost my hope about not being able to gain my Australian dream to life living here in Australia with my partner and my Australian kids.I found out about Emerson migration online, in 2021 I trust and have faith, that they are professionally experts and one of the leading migration experts in Brisbane.and they will get me through i engage them with so much of my complicated situation.they help me withdraw my previous visa which I was meant to leave Australia and leave my Australian children behind to apply offshore for new partner visa. Sarv, and Aishwarya helped me in every step of my situation guide and lead me through until the 25/05 /2023 yesterday I received and unexpected shocking news, that brings me tears of joy! my advice to anyone who is looking to migrate to Australia is please trust me and my words I count on Emerson migration because thankfully they help me walk me across the scariest bridge, I would not even be able to make it without them. Sarv, aishwarya, Amelia and Grace and the team so thankfully blessed to have chosen you only 11 months after they have been dealing my complex visa situation yesterday I was double granted.
