Mastrovasilis family

“Margie is really professional and became a friend throughout the process,” says Michail.  “Without the Migration Corporation dueo Margie and Ceiclia, we wouldn’t be here, they helped my family greatly.”

Michail’s home is well and truly Australia. His sisters were born here and he, himself studied onshore Australia.  His father, however, relocated back to Greece many years ago and did not take up Australian citizenship before he left. Due to the many legislative changes, Michail knew it was time to get expert help.  He found Migration Corporation duo Margie Dizon and Cecilia dela Vega. After obtaining permanent residency for himself and his family last year through an employer-sponsored visa, Michail was ready to help his brother experience the beautiful life we have come to know that is synonmous to Australia. Stavros now works for his older brother Michail at 4Kitchens.

Michail’s son, Ioannis, has now joined his father and uncle in their trade at 4Kitchens, commencing an apprenticeship in cabinet-making.  Michail praises Margie for her tenacity and expertise with their case.

Mr. and Mrs. Froilan Cruz, Permanent residents of Australia

“Salamat din po sa pagtatiyaga ninyo, Margie and Cecilia took care of everything for our family.  They they advised us of the requirements as we faced challenges throughout with changes in circumstances.  They worked very well as a team and we cooperated as much as we can.  We know we could not have achieved this without their help.  Tuwang tuwa po kami ngayon, maraming maraming salamat sa lahat po ng tinabraho ninyo, Ms Margie and Cecilia.  Alam namin na hindi madali ang maglakad ng papeles. Hindi lang po papeles ang inaasikaso ninyo, buhay po ang iniiba ninyo.  Salamat po sa aming permanent residency. Ipagsasabi po namin sa lahat sa sobrang tuwa namin.”

Felix and Crezel Bolivar, Permanent Residents

“Good day! It was really good news for us that our Permanent visa granted already. On the day that you called my husband, we are still expecting that you need more documents from us. We cannot express our happiness on that time, it was so surprising. We really pleased and satisfied with your granted services. Many thanks for the help support and assistance for all of you have done during the process of our visa.

We wish you and your company every success and bright future.

Regards,
Crezel and Felix”

Antonios Kalidonis

You are the best,” confirms Theo Kalidonis, Kalidonis Pty Ltd Director and Builder; President of the Greek Community (Kalymnos) Club.

Theo Kalidonis is the owner of Darwin’s largest privately owned formwork and concreting companies in Darwin and had not seen his older brother Antonios for over 20 years until MCA duo Margie Dizon and Cecilia dela Vega helped reunite their families.

When Theo first came to Darwin almost 20 years ago, Antonios remained in Greece and established a successful construction business there.  Theo has been trying to get his brother to Australia, particularly as Antonios is highly-skilled in his trade.

“Everyone told me this was impossible, but the best immigration consultants, Darwin Migration Agents Margie and Cecilia made it happen.  They have been excellent,” says Theo.  Antonios is now a Building Supervisor for formwork and concreting at Kalidonis Pty Ltd.

Having the right papers and choosing the right processes meant it was possible to secure a temporary visa for Antonios.  MCA is now working towards ganing permanent residency for him.  “It makes our work even more worthwhile, being in a position to reunite families,” says Margie and Cecilia.  “Many people give up on complex case.  We never give up.”

Wang Qing (Jack), owner of Regent Court Chinese Restaurant, Katherine, NT

Jack’s journey from Shenzen, China to Northern Territory, Australia is a great one to share.  Guests who were impressed with the food and service at Shangri-La left their contact details with the restaurant staff.  Fortunately for Jack, the Chef that the calling card was left with did not have dreams outside China.  Jack, on the hand, grabbed the opportunity to contact the employer directly.  Four years later and with the help of Margie Dizon, Registered Migration Agent and Psychologist at Migration Corporation of Australia (MCA), Jack enjoys the ultimate prize, his Australian citizenship.

“At the start, Jack could not even call me.  We couldn’t even talk to each other as he spoke minimal English, ” remembers Margie.  Jack initially came on his own on a subclass 457 visa.  He battled homesickness and the compulsion to give it all up at the time.  It was not until 6 months after and many repeated phone calls that we got together for dinner and his English improvement was phenomenal then. Eventually, his family decided to join him.  Now, all three family members speak very good English and Jerry, their only son, speaks English like a local.  They obtained their permanent residency in 2009 and Jack qualified for Australian citizenship in 2010.

He has also embraced the Australian life with the purchase of his home and taking up fishing as a hobby.  According to Jack, his journey from China to Australia, and everything that followed wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless efforts of Margie Dizon, Cecilia dela Vega and the team at MCA.

Jack now owns his own restaurant called the Regent Court Chinese Restaurant (25 First Street) in the booming town of Katherine in the Northern Territory.  He boasts cooking the best Chinese food in the locality.  With his passion and flair for cooking, we believe him.

 

Sombun Vichaisorn, Permanent Resident of Australia, Head Chef, Hanuman Restaurant Darwin

Sombun Vichaisorn was an accomplished Chef from Bangkok, Thailand for 19 years prior to taking over the Hanuman Restaurant’s kitchen in 2005.  Jimmy Shu of the Hanuman Group dynasty (Darwin, Alice Springs, Cairns and soon Adelaide) trusted Migration Corporation of Australia duo Margie Dizon and Cecilia dela Vega for Sombun’s initial visa in 2005 and again when he moved Sombun to Hanuman Alice Springs several years after.

For some time, Sombun thought he was going to keep Thailand as his home whilst he toiled and sent all treasures back to his family there.  Like many other overseas skilled workers, it may take some time to decide that Australia, after all, is the best country to call home.

It was only recently that Sombun was convinced that Darwin was his new home and applied for permanent residency.    He trusted only Darwin’s best Migration Agents Margie Dizon and Cecilia dela Vega to hold his hand throughout the process and received his permanent residency grant accordingly.   He understands that Migration Corporation of Australia is experienced in making very good submissions, especially under exceptional circumstances.

Now that Sombun is back as Head Chef in Hanuman Darwin, he has begun embracing Darwin for all that it could offer:  great city with a great outdoor life.  Sombun enjoys fishing during his free time and of course, boasts about the fish he catches and cooks.

Jaysheel Bhatt, Restaurant Manager, Hanuman Restaurant Darwin

“I am delighted to write to you on how excited me and my family are since my RSMS visa approval on the 15th of december. It couldn’t have come on a better time considering christmas is just around the corner and now we have more than one reason to celebrate. I would thus like to take this opportunity to thank you and your excellent team at Migration Corporation of Australia without who all this would not have been possible and in such a short time period. 3 and 1/2 weeks is just fantastic!

You have been a great guide during the whole visa application process and i truly appreciate your counselling with related matters during the same.  Kindly also convey my sincere thank you to Sylvia who has been very co-operative in anwering all my queries and for her valuable support.

Thank you once again Margie for looking after my case.“

Danilo Mallari

Danilo Mallari did not realise that his skills in carpenty would mean that one day, he would be living permanently in Australia with his family.  After spending a lot of time under the sun, come rain or shine, his hands-on work as a self-employed carpenter finally won him a job offer to work in the Territory.  Danilo first came to Australia on a 457 work visa in  October 2006.  He endured three years of establishing himself before he decided that it was time for his family to join him.  When they did, Migration Corporation of Australia P/L celebrated the family reunion in Darwin with receiving the family’s permanent residency visa grant a few days after their arrival.  All children have settled well in the community and in their respective schools.  Mrs Mallari also enjoys her full time work in the hospitality industry.  Danilo trusted us with the work and we are happy to say that we certainly deliver.

Jacob Santillan Beltran

Jacob Santillan Beltran stole Janet’s heart whilst she lived and worked in Egypt a few years ago. They appointed Margie Dizon with a partner visa and Jacob now enjoys permanent residency with Janet in Queensland with two beautiful children.

“We are so happy today. For three years I have been studying and today, I’m so happy.  When I found out, I was so surprised, it was only 14 days when you have lodged my application.  I did not expect it….it was approved so fast.  I studied all day and then night time, go for work; we did very hard work…[visa approved]…I’m very happy today, I don’t have to study anymore, I can work full time and both me and my husband can save money.  Your service is  very good, fantastic, it’s very good!!!  And when we came to see you before we applied for the visa and now, everything is the same way, everything alright.  It is very good.  Thank you, Margie and Cecilia and the whole Migration Corporation team”

“MCA was very helpful to me in attaining my Permanent Residency. I found Margie and her staff very appoachable and friendly. My questions over the phone were always quickly addressed. MCA made my migration process simpler and hassle-free.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Margie and her staff achieving my dream to become a Permanent Resident and beginning a new life in Australia.”

Rochelle Calderon

Rochelle was specifically selected by her employer for a work/sponsor visa and thanks to the direction and expertise provided by Margie Dizon and Cecilia Dela Vega of Migration Corporation of Australia, who were with her during the entire process, MCA easily facilitated her entry and clearly outlined all the visa options available to her, during her journey. She is now firmly on the path to Permanent Residency thanks to an Immigration Agent that goes the extra mile and really cares.

She happily says:

“Worth every minute spent discussing options over with Ms Margie.  Gave me a sense of direction regarding my visa and peace of mind! Excellent service and very accommodating!

Maria Emma Apura Aliviado

Maria was thankful for the professional advice she got from Migration Corporation of Australia regarding the process with regard to Permanent Residency in Australia. She herself was unaware of the many potential implications and pitfalls involved and was somewhat daunted by the whole visa process. After consulting with Margie Dizon of MCA and receiving individual advice based on her set of circumstances she was able to tackle and resolve any issues.

She says:

“thank you Ms. Margie for all the information that you shared to me last night.  Even though we have not signed a contract with your agency.  You gave us hope and not waste more money.  Daghan kaayong Salamat MS. MARGIE…”

Kim Sadler

Kim was very grateful for the timely professional advice and help she got to get her visa approved.  Her visa was on the verge of  being cancelled when she approached Margie Dizon of Migration Corporation of Australia, who went to bat for her and despite time constraints successfully applied for and had a temporary visa granted. This in turn lead to Permanent Residency and has all resulted in a most favourable outcome for Kim.

She says:

“Had a really good experience with Margie she really knows her stuff and helps you as much as possible! I had very little time to get my visa sorted and it all went through thanks to Margie”

Virna Bermudo Puno

Virna was appreciative of the advice she received regarding her plans to pursue Australian Permanent Residency for her family. Despite having another agent she was referred to Margie Dizon and Migration Corporation of Australia who were happy to provide her with advice regarding her options and what to anticipate and expect moving forward. This has resulted in an ethical outcome which had priority over any possible financial gain for MCA.

She says:

“Ms Margie, enlightened me about my visa status and give me important information that will help us to get to the right pathway to get stay here permanently. Cheers”

Rich Lara

“I am very pleased to see Margie and talk about my visa options after I graduate.  I am amazed with her enthusiastic and visual approach in making me understand the different pathways I have.  She has given me tips and information which I had not known for and was not able to find on the internet.  The time I spent with her was all worth it.  Strongly recommends (sic) her and her company.  Thanks Margie!”

Stephanie Lima

Stephanie was extremely happy with our professional service and despite setbacks and an initial refusal, has now acquired all the knowledge and understanding required to make an informed decision regarding her Permanent Residency visa strategy.  Another client with high hopes for the future thanks to the dedicated work by Margie Dizon of Migration Corporation of Australia. Margie has provided ongoing support to Stephanie’s employer and confidence that Stephanie would keep what she loves doing as a Dental Technician.  Thank you to Stephanie, for choosing us, as the best Australian Immigration Agent!

She declares:

“Margie is awesome!!  Nobody else like her!!! My visa situation got very complicated and at first the government refused my 457! Margie helped me tremendously and now I have just applied for citizenship.  I couldn’t have done it all without her.  She’s so supportive and extremely knowledgeable, 100% recommend her”

Maria Christina Ting-Flor

“The BEST people that you can trust to handle your visas either 457 visa, partner visa or family sponsored visas!!!! Very professional and efficient in going through step by step together with you till you obtain your visa.

Migration Corporation of Australia can make your life changing to a good future ahead.

I know because I and my family were one of the many very lucky people whom they handled and were able to be granted a chance to live the Australian way of life.”

Migration Corporation of Australia team Margie Dizon and Cecilia Dela Vega took a personal interest in making Maria’s dream come true. Working away from her family and loved ones for a mere pittance in very trying circumstances, almost akin to slave labour, Margie recognised her inherent skills, versatility and attributes and proceeded to take on her case. Now happily residing in Australia thanks to expert guidance from Margie, Maria and her immediate family are on the pathway to permanent residents, much to the benefit of Australia and its denizens. Maria more than appreciated the life-changing work that Margie did to bring her family to live and work in Australia. Thanks to Margie and Cecilia, Maria is now gainfully employed and earning a wage that truly reflects her qualities and skill level. Her son Gregory has also managed to maximise his opportunity of applying at the same time as her.  Their lives are permanently changed for the better.

Banks Family

“Excellent service! Margie Dizon, the company’s director, really took pride in supporting her clients on their journey to reside permanently in Australia! We are 5 in the family and we have been lucky and so grateful to be permanent residents through their help, and later on became Australian citizens.  Thank you for guiding us all the way! If you need full information and support, do not hesitate to call them”

Migration Corporation of Australia personally witnessed and was an integral part of a ten-year journey that, despite numerous pitfalls and hurdles, has resulted in the Permanent Residency and citizenship for the Banks family. His was a case hand-picked from hundreds by Margie Dizon of MCA, as he clearly exhibited all the characteristics, work ethic and attributes that would ensure a successful, prosperous integration. He was the first to gain PR followed by his family, whose nomination was initially refused. MCA fought and successfully appealed the decision, on behalf of the family, which was then eventually overturned by the tribunal.  Thanks to the singular commitment, dedication and hard work by Migration Corporation of Australia, the Banks family will be eternally grateful for the happy outcome and opportunities afforded them, thanks to Registered Migration Agents Margie Dizon and Cecilia Dela Vega, easily the most trusted Migration Agents in Darwin.

Stephen Moss

“Margie Dizon is the best migration agent in Darwin.  She knows exactly what’s going on with every visa and comes up with solutions quickly.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for information on visas and also to use her to apply for any visa you need to go for.”

Wilfredo P. Alvarez

Thanks to Margie Dizon and Cecilia Dela Vega of Migration Corporation of Australia skillfully preempting and anticipating possible complications and delays with Wilfredo’s visa application, he remained confident throughout the process that his application with his wife Victoria would go smoothly. All thanks to the able assistance of the BEST migration agents in the Northern Territory that assisted Victoria’s employer to become a DAMA-approved sponsor and obtaining visa grants for both Wilfredo and his wife.

Here’s what he had to say:

“Never had any doubts our visa application will encounter any problems.  Margie and Cecilia laid out everything to us in details.  Very professional team.”

Nancy Crawford

“Where do I start and I’ve only had a 40min consultation with Margie! Absolutely recommend this beautiful lady to help with any visa enquiries or application.  The law and changes behind visa applicants is confusing enough let alone always changing but having Margie there to explain it (especially using visual contents like the whiteboard is so much easier for me lol) assisted A LOT with the next process for my family.  First impression of her with her big smile and laugh was so welcoming and just gave me the biggest warmth and reassurance that I picked the right person to ask for help.  It was like we could talk for ages! Thank you so much for your assistance and guidance Margie, you’re an awesome chick!”

Establishing a good rapport with Nancy was easy when she sought out Migration Corporation of Australia and Margie Dizon to help her. She was confused and feeling increasingly flustered with the constant changes in Migration Legislation and Immigration Rules. By seeking professional advice from the best and most ethical Migration Agent in the Northern Territory regarding all manner of visa matters (employer-sponsored, student-visas, Permanent Residency) all of Nancy’s concerns were quickly allayed. She most definitely chose well by approaching Margie to speak with, to clarify and resolve her concerns with all matters pertaining to visa applications.

Ron RD

Ron made an auspicious choice after shopping around for a Migration Agent when, after visiting the Migration Corporation of Australia office, he entrusted Registered Migration Agent Margie Dizon of MCA to facilitate his path to Permanent Residency. Imagine the mutual surprise when it turned out Ron had attended the same University school as Margie, some 25 years earlier! He opted for the Budget Package which provided him with all the necessary checklists, skills, expertise and know-how with regard to obtaining the requisite visa but furthermore saved him a lot of money.

Here’s what he had to say:

“I made the right decision of choosing the BEST immigration agent in Northern Territory… I am now waiting for my permanent residency after they helped me in my VISA 187 RSMS.  I am looking positively that it would be granted under the guidance of MCA Team.  Thank you so much Margie, Cecilia and Greg!!! – Ron and Denice”

Vic De Guzman

Victor had trusted Migration Corporation of Australia duo Margie Dizon and Cecilia Dela Vega to manage his visa process for many years. Margie and Cecilia provided ongoing support and were instrumental in securing his very first temporary employer-sponsored visa and assisted him all the way on his final path to Permanent Residency for both himself and his family.

Vic sums it up rather succinctly when he says:

“The commitment and the service was awesome!!! They did a great job!”

Victoria Mu

Victoria has been a long-term client consulting with Migration Corporation of Australia for many years. She relies implicitly upon up to date, relevant information regarding legislation that guides her in making the correct decisions regarding the visa process. She was very grateful to MCA and Margie Dizon for the honest, straightforward advice for all her Australian immigration questions and for the help in granting her family’s visa applications.

She says:

“You have been helping me and my whole family for more than five years now.  You make my family’s visa applications very successful.  You are a very honest business and I am happy to pay you for your honest service and not trust anyone else.  Thank you and I will continue to refer you to my friends, family and businesses because I know you are honest and you will tell them exactly what their visa options are.”

Michael Hartwell

“Very knowledgable and super professional, Margie knows her business and I recommend her to anyone seeking help with a visa for people coming to Australia [smiley inserted here]..anytime and I am not easy to impress…but u succeeded…MONEY WELL-SPENT.  It is definitely worth the money, every cent, consulting with you for migration advice.  Margie’s a great girl.  I can tell just from the tone of her voice when I first spoke to her on the phone.  There is no bullshit, she definitely knows what she’s talking about. I’m really happy I have come and consulted with Margie Dizon today.  I’m really glad I found you on the directory.  I have so many things to learn.  I will come and see you again.”

Farrah

“Dear Ms. Margie, This is to say thank you for your professional service as our visa consultant! We have been granted permanent residency today! You know too well our dilemmas and worries when we first started with the process. We had some setbacks because of the medical issue of our son, but because of your expertise not just on the matter of migration but on the area of child development psychology as well, you were able to guide us on the right and ethical process. The few hours spent on consultation with you was well worth it. Not listening to unsolocited advices from non-experts, and going to MCA instead, saved us more headaches. Again, thank you!
Sincerely,
Farrah”

Sophie Tutaki

Sophie Tutaki believes that having all your options laid out in front of you allowed her to know exactly what to do and “in positive spirits”. She is proud to recommend us to anyone going through the daunting immigration process. She also loves our coffee!!!

“I have just recently had a Visa refusal Partner 820 due to my past lawyer going into liquidation and submitting me for the wrong visa!!.. It has been a crazy 2 years of not being told what going on. I went to see Margie today and she gave me all my options and made me feel so at ease, she is very understanding and compassionate and makes you understand all your options. After two years of not knowing what’s going on and a recent refusal i have left her office today knowing exactly what my options are and in positive spirit. I now know how to move forward and with Margie’s help and support i have no doubt i will have a very positive outcome. I recommend her to anyone going through the sometimes daunting visa process   . Also 10/10 for the coffee!!!”

Shirley Ann Mendoza, Value Travel

“Dear Ms. Margie,

Thank you very much for helping us to stay. My only dream is to work abroad, any country in the world. Until we came here in Darwin, as a Student visa. It was a predicament as I call, but I never imagined that miracles do happen.

Me and my husband have so many worst and not so many good things we had experienced We fought a lot, we cried so much, we’ve had sleepless nights, we sacrificed by being far from our daughter (like many have gone through too). We even thought of ending this problem. But we have been tested by faith, God has a purpose for us.

This experience has put us in a great place, despite of being rejected and criticized by so many, and I will truly be forever grateful. To all of you who have been my so called “Angels in disguise”,  I will be forever thankful, and to all the people who have become part of our roller coaster journey, Thank you also. You are all blessing to us, I hope someday, we will be a blessing to others too.

Like in the bible verse “God does not see what man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”

Thank you Ms. Margie, Ms. Cecilia and Ms. Kate for helping us and other people to come to Australia and have much better life than in our/their own country.

God bless you more.”

Richie Lara

Richie Lara was doing all her research and had some friends advise her on what to do.  She was motivated with one of her friends follow us on Facebook so she thought she would follow us also.  Witnessing her friend’s family’s lives change with their permanent residency visa grants prompted her to delay no longer.  Richie has these kind words to say:

“I am very pleased to see March and talk about my visa options after I graduate.  I am amazed with her enthusiastic and visual approach in making me understand the different pathways I have.  She has given me tips and information which I had not known for and was not able to find on the internet.  The time I spent with her was all worth it.  Strongly recommend her and her company.  Thanks Margie!”
