  • I have had an opportunity to work with Stephanie during my visa transition process. She is a goal oriented individual who works with timelines and perfectness in mind. Such a professional. The process was a hustle-free one, and it was as if she was doing this for herself more than for me. The care, time and effort she puts in her job is just incomparable. I will never hesitate to recommend anyone to Stephanie.

  • Our experience with Forward Migration in just one word would probably be “EASY”. Organising a meeting with Stephanie was so quick and she was very flexible with the time and location, which was a great help. She listened to our requirements and then gave us different options and a clear explanation on the path to follow and documents needed. She was there all the way through, during a visa application the part that concerned us the most was making sure the documents comply with what was required, Stephanie definitely took this stressful part away from me. She was always spot on and her replies were clear and prompt. It goes without mentioning that she did an awesome job putting up with my 3 billion questions (mostly driven by fear, but she was there to answer these and making us feel safe, end of the day my partner and I future depends on this visa!). We did consider applying for this visa on our own, but after speaking with Stephanie, we had no doubt that we could trust her and her work and going back we would do the same. Forward Migration: Highly recommended. When looking for a good person in this ocean of agents, I can vouch for Forward Migration, there is a caring heart behind this business that really will look after you as human being and customer

  • I approached Forward migration when my partner and I decided to applied for the partner visa. As my visa situation was complicated I knew Forward Migration was the right company to choose with their knowledge in that industry. They provided us with transparency in their advice and they respond quickly to our requests. One thing I liked about Forward Migration was the prompt action undertaken. I would highly recommend their service to anyone who need immigration advice or visa services.
