Australia Visa Processing: To match visas to your situation and background we need you to provide information about yourself. Please complete the Service Request Questionnaire on the next page. There is space at the bottom of the questionnaire for you to input information you think may be important and reflect your particular situation. It is important you tell us about any medical issue affecting you or a member of your family, any prior court issue and your immigration status in the country you are presently reside. Please note: if you are resident in the U.S. you must have a lawful immigration status before we can assist you.

You will be required to have read and agreed to the " Migration Service Agreement" and accept the terms of this agreement in its entirety before sending us any information. I am also required to provide you with a document " "Information and regulation of the Migration Advice Profession". Before we can start assisting you, you need to have read this document and acknowledge you have this document.

As a registered Migration Agent I am by law required to give you the opportunity to read and have access to this document. This document is published by the Migration Agent Registration Authority, an organization the Australian government has authorized to monitor the activities of Registered Migration Agents. It is always available to you by returning to this web site page. The document spoken about in the "Information and Regulation of the Migration Advice Profession" is called the Code of Conduct. This document is the full legal text and can be found via this link "Code of Conduct". All these documents provide you with details of your rights when applying for an Australian visa and using a Registered Migration Agent.

Once you have sent us the completed questionnaire and if we think we can assist you obtain an Australian visa we will contact you. When we contact you we will provide you with information about possible visa options, costs and an estimate of processing times once the application is submitted. Until this point you do not need to pay Noel Hewitt Associates LLC anything. If you wish to engage Noel Hewitt Associates LLC after this appraisal, you will be sent a contract between yourself and Noel Hewitt Associates LLC (Migration Agent Service Agreement) for you to sign and send back with the agreed fee (check or credit card payment) negotiated between yourself and Noel Hewitt Associates LLC.

The funds deposited by you are placed in a Client Trust account. We will deduct one third of the funds from this trust account once we have all the requested documentary evidence and the application forms are correctly completed and returned to our office. The next one third of the fees will be withdrawn from the Client Trust account at the time the application is submitted to the Australian Immigration Department (if you want us to pay for the government visa fees and paid us these government fees, these funds are also withdrawn at this time) and the remaining funds are withdrawn once the visa has been granted.

In the visa processing stage, after you have engaged us to help you obtain the Australian visa, you should provide us with accurate information and any requested documents. If during or after the collection of information and documentation an issue is discovered that was not revealed in prior communication or documentation, and this new information or evidence may jeopardize your application, we will notify you of those concerns and provide you with options. Providing requested information and you identifying any concerns you may have with your background or documentation helps in reducing processing costs and time taken to process the application. In situations where there may be problems with an issue, I can research this issue and perhaps identify alternative sources of evidence or address the issue via legislation and policy.

You can make a credit card payment via the Paypal link on the next page or send a personal check. Please be advised - Paypal charges a fee for funds processed through them. If you wish to pay by credit card we will pass this cost to you. Credit card payment by Paypal can be found at the following link. Paypal administration fee is 5% on top of the stated and agreed terms.

If you pay by check , we will commence the visa application once the check has been cleared by our bank.
