“It is imperative that you would have searched dozen sites and blogs for the “Best Migration Agent” to handle your unique case. You are not alone. First things first… The reason you are reading this testimonial is that you are searching for the trusted agent, with whom you can share all your details and also get the feeling that you will get the PR. Since you have not got anyone till now, continue reading.
Dr. Anna is the best possible person you can trust to ensure that he represents you at the best. Note: As per the Migration Agent code of conduct, no person should guarantee the PR. If any one does, it is not correct.
Dr. Anna takes very pragmatic, professional approach for each of the case as very unique case. He understands that how important is PR for the client. Very Professional, ethical, fast and responsive to the stupidest (you may think it is stupid) question. He always replies with the answer, which is correct, legal. He doesn’t please the client, by showering false promises.
So, should you go ahead and ask Dr. Anna to process your PR based on these testimonials? You may think twice. But look at his studies and degrees. Amazing. It’s the simple fact that knowledgeable persons are rare to see these days and Dr. Anna is GEM of that lot. Trust Anna.
I got my PR in flat 100 days from the time I took the PTE exam. The journey has been quite fast from 17th Dec 2015 to 24th March 2016 (Grant). In fact, if I take the date of ACS submission, I would say that ACS, EOI and Grant were completed in 60 days flat. This implies that your documents should be clean and Dr. Anna would ensure that you give the required documents.
Wishing you all the very best and see you soon in Australia.”
