Thank you again for everything. I really appreciate all your help, your professionalism, and the time you took to answer my questions throughout the process.
Sanling, thank you so much for sharing the amazing news with us today! We’ve been waiting for this moment for such a long time and we’re absolutely over the moon that it finally happened. We’re truly grateful for all your help, support, and advice from the very beginning, you’ve made such a big difference in this journey. Thanks again for everything, we really appreciate it!
I am pleased to highly recommend SanLing Chan for anyone seeking visa processing and any legal immigration matters dealing with the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs. SanLing was a outstanding choice as she achieved all my wife’s visa clearances leading up to citizenship successfully, smoothly, and in extraordinary quick time beyond my expectations.
You will always be dealing with the principal of the legal practice providing clear guidance, communication, and resolve to achieve the best possible outcome. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment together with you the client providing your input will make the entire process less stressful and will have the best opportunity for success. In my case I took SanLing advice on a matter which was contrary to my thoughts which in the end was the correct choice and I shall be forever grateful.
SanLing’s unpretentious character, honesty, and fairness is a stand out. I appreciate her genuine care and shall be engaging SanLing for all future dealings with the Australian Government of Home Affairs no matter how small. I genuinely and strongly recommend SanLing Chan to anyone requiring immigration visa processing, resident permits, etc, leading to citizenship, as an excellent choice.
Furthermore, I went on reading some of her ‘case studies’ she represented and again demonstrated the art of service in a professional capacity.
I telephoned SanLing Chan Lawyers and the call was received by SanLing in the flesh. After exchanging the pleasantries I went on to deliver what my enquiries was about and if she will be available to render her services.
She politely advised her expertise, commented on the matter in question and solemnly made referral of engaging another professional whom she has very high regards for. In this case it wasn’t just another ‘lawyer’. She made a point of directing me to a lawyer that is a specialist.
Although she was in the process of attending a meeting, she still chose to give me her undivided attention. Gave me details of direction which I accepted. Provided peace of mind and comfort on what and where to go next. In life it’s not all about what you know but who you know. Thank you SanLing.
In summary SanLing was not available for me but the essences of this ‘review’ is that she still served me and it was in the capacity of a brief acquaintances over the phone. Normally enquiries are addressed by making an appointment and at the conclusion of that appointment comes the cost.
SanLing you have an eye of being ‘true’ to form. True to your follow men. True to the profession you have chosen. The ‘blessings’ of service will prevail one day.
I wish to let others know of my admiration and respect for Sanling. She can take on anything! My partner and I would like to express our thanks and gratitude for Sanling’s professional services. She has made our lives so much easier.
We are so grateful for the services of SanLing, as she made a really stressful situation so much easier. Her knowledge & experience in this field is incredible and we are forever grateful.
I also noticed that aside from her thorough knowledge of the law, she is compassionate and very accommodating of every question we raised. We decided to continue having her services. I will strongly recommend her to my own congregation and to every other congregation where I am invited to speak. And to all my relatives, friends and acquaintances who would be needing the services of an Immigration Lawyer and Migration Agent.
We engaged SanLing’s services to assist us in preparing for my fiancees’ prospective Marriage Visa. SanLing provided expert and professional advice during the process. She outlined all the areas of the application process in a very straightforward manner. Her experience and expertise was invaluable and definitely assisted us in our application. SanLing was not only willing to answer any questions that we had, she also responded to them in a prompt and professional manner. She went the extra mile at all times to ensure that we were well informed and up to date about our application process.
Now that my fiancees’ visa is approved, we can look forward to our future together. We would like to thank SanLing for the highly professional service that she provided.
She was quick to arrange a meeting where I was able to explain my situation to her. The advice received at that meeting put me in the picture as to what I was up against. She showed me how to organise my documents and my subsequent response to DIPB. In the final decision I was granted permanent residency.
A few weeks ago, I had another issue with DIPB. This time it was concerning a citizenship application. Again, I retained the services of SanLing Chan. Within a matter of days, I received comprehensive written legal advice which allowed me to make an informed decision as to how to proceed with my application.
From my experience, SanLing is knowledgeable, efficient and well connected with regards to immigration matters. I have found the charge for her services to be quite realistic.
We could not have done this without your assistance. You were so meticulous and amazing. Your work and effort far exceeded the fee. Having failed previously, I can’t thank you enough.
It is due to you and the work you did on my behalf that this is happening.
I can’t thank you enough.
She kept in touch with me frequently and made sure my application was processed in time and all the right documents provided.
It’s been a smooth process and I highly recommend her.
I think the thing that we appreciated the most was the honesty and integrity, throughout the whole process.
We applied for the Partner Visa (subclass 820) in May last year, and are based in a remote community in WA. I thought that this would prove to be an obstacle as we never had any face to face support, but SanLing was always available to offer her support and knowledge.
Not only did they guide and keep me informed each step of the way in my visa application but SanLing was always looking out for my best interests. Being advised to rewrite my IELTS proficiency test to achieve a band 7 and more in all sections was one such example.
Her advice only made my visa application that much more worthy for consideration.
I am truly grateful to SanLing and her team in helping me get my Visa Application Grant.
We were very impressed with her professionalism and knowledge on migration law. She’s provided us with relevant and accurate information regarding our situation and the visa we wanted to apply for.
SanLing also showed that she cared about us and did not treat us just as a case. She and her team responded quickly to our many queries and showed a lot of patience towards us. SanLing always explained the different procedures and steps regarding the visa application in a way we could easily understand.
Our visa has now been granted. Thanks to SanLing and her team, this was a very smooth process. We will definitely recommend SanLing to anyone looking for a professional, caring and reliable migration agent.
We are grateful to SanLing and her team for helping us to be together here in Australia.
Overall we found your service courteous and professional. During the process we were concerned about some of the issues that arose with respect to the application but in the end everything was resolved.
We were surprised how fast the Immigration Department responded to the application, questions and special requests.
We would suggest that in future you recommend that new applicants from South Africa get their full birth certificates as soon as possible as this is a major delay in South Africa.
Overall it was definitely worthwhile, and we now have an employee with skills and experience we could not find in Australia.
I wanted to let you know that I received a letter from the Department of Immigration today advising that my Partner subclass 801 visa had been granted and that I now have permanent residency status in Australia. My wife, Sandra, and I are extremely happy and relieved.
I would like to thank you once again for all your assistance with the initial stages of the visa. We would definitely recommend your services to anyone who is seeking assistance with a visa application.
Thank you thank you, so very much!
I look forward to seeing you when in Perth in the new year, and to a smooth PR application, you have been fantastic!
I believe that without your extensive knowledge and experience in the field I would not have been able to get an approval on my second application. Once again I would like to thank you for all your help.
Thank you SanLing for your expertise and for advising me from times before I was eligible for PR to when I’m finally eligible (including chasing me up on documents!).
Much appreciated.
We are very pleased that we obtained approval in a few short months as we expected longer.
Trust that we will recommend your services to others in the future.
As everyone knows already, applying for any visa can be a long and terrifying journey, but working with you has made the journey seem easy and stress free.
It has been over a year since we first met and I have no regrets that I chose you to help me.
You described everything from day one and has been very organised, which gave me confidence in my applications.
I now feel relieved and looking forward for my future with my PR in ands.
Thank you!
My advice is use the services of a professional like SanLing Chan from the start of your application. We did not, our application was rejected and we ended up in front of the Tribunal.
SanLing’s professionalism and knowledge at the Tribunal was instrumental in having the rejection overturned and achieving a positive outcome.
You help us going through our case, and finally you send me an email about the good news from MRT. Thank you so much for your help.
We will definitely be recommending you to those in need.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much.
This afternoon I received notice from the Australian Government that my PR subclass 187 has been granted. I wanted you to be the first to know and thank you for your wonderful assistance in working through this long process with Sheri, Christine and me.
It is truly a blessing to complete this process that we started over a year ago.
I have come to appreciate the difficult and challenging work that you have undertaken. I truly appreciate your service and friendship.
It’s been a long, long, long journey but we’ve made it with your exceptional devotion. From start to finish it has been a huge battle to get this genuine sponsorship case through and I can finally say that we did it. In between all the stress and despair you have given us confidence, hope and determination to attain our goal and most of all happiness. Today my wife and I can say that we are breathing and it’s all because of you that we are now permanent residents. I remember that there wasn’t one night that you were emailing or calling me, and even the day before the MRT hearing you were relentlessly working on every aspect of it.
If you people reading this are in the same situation as we were, I can tell you one thing: you won’t regret taking SanLing as your Solicitor, she is a true gem.
Thank you again SanLing and I wish you all the very best.
You were able to make a very complex and complicated situation, seem so easy to solve with your very clear, concise and experienced advice. Had we not engaged your services, I fear that we would not have been able to navigate the very complex migration act, and the future of our candidate looked very bleak.
As it turns out, he has been approved, he and his partner are now able to stay in Australia as they rightfully should be, but most importantly, I retain a very valued employee in my company. I very much urge any company director that finds themselves in the situation I did, to engage your services to achieve a successful outcome.
Thank you SanLing, and I very much hope that we get to work together again at some stage in the future.
SanLing made the process very easy for me, sending me the forms I would need to fill out and what documents I would need to provide.
Today I received notification of grant of my permanent residency visa, only a few months after we lodged the application.
Thank you SanLing! Great Job Done!
Your knowledge and experience has made this application a success, and we really appreciate your help and guidance at every level.
You have been amazing, we will be recommending you and your business to everybody we know.
Thank you very much.
Through my personal experience, SanLing handled with my case professionally. She demonstrated her professionalism as what she proclaimed on her own website.
Besides, during the tough times, she dealt with my negative emotions.
SanLing showed me she had a genuine heart for her clients and that allowed me to put my trust in her.
I am grateful I can find a migration agent / solicitor like SanLing. I will not have any doubt to recommend her service to those in need.
In particular, your assistance with the MRT case is appreciated.
Thank you for the wonderful news today which we received of our daughter’s permanent residence visa which we have been waiting for patiently.
We really appreciate your efficient and swift services, plus your valuable knowledge and input when DIAC was going through some major problems in October 2012, and teething problems with Skill Select due to the change of laws.
We’re indeed thankful for your dedication and commitment to giving us this positive outcome and we will definitely refer your services.
Hope you are well! Wanted to share our good news. We got our PR visa grant yesterday. Had to share it with you. Can’t forget the time you saw us through!
Thank you.
We are so happy about the grant of our Business Skills Residence Visa. Without your very professional help and advice it would not be possible for us to get it.
We wish you all the best and we are very sure, that you make lots of other people happy like us today.
You were very patient and have provided me with sound and valuable guidance, thus I was then able to write a better resume of my career and provided more solid evidence of my past achievements for submission.
Although you were away on holidays, you even took the effort to reply to me. Again, I must say, without your assistance, my Visa Grant would not have been successful.
Now as l leave Perth to go offshore and apply for the 190 visa, I believe that it shall go well. l know in normal thinking it’s best not to count your eggs before they hatch, but I am reminded of 2 Cor 5:7, ‘ for we walk by faith not by sight’… It shall go well…
Thank you SanLing!
Hi SanLing,
I was so touched to receive the email below. This email confirms (pretty much what we already knew) that SanLing is an excellent referral for us when dealing with enquiries that need the assistance of a Migration Lawyer.
Many thanks to you SanLing!
Hi Kylie
Just wanted to write you a quick thank you, for referring my case to SanLing.
I spoke to you on the phone a few weeks ago about my visa situation and you were the only one I spoke to that offered any beneficial help.
SanLing was absolutely amazing and gave us a clear picture of what we needed to supply to DIAC.
We had an email from DIAC a few days ago saying that they have decided to waive the 12-month relationship requirement in this instance and the visa has been processed to the final stages.
We are so happy and relieved.
Thanks again,
Mitch P
From a fellow lawyer to another: Well done – very professionally done.
Thank you so much for all your advice and support. Fortunately my employer was willing to renew my 457 visa.
Anyway Lucky and I got married last week on Thursday the 6th December.
Got our Nomination Number on Friday 30th November.
Submitted our 457 visa online on Sunday night 9th December.
We had the medicals done Monday morning the 10th.
Got our 457 visa granted today 14th December 2012.
We were going to be sitting and waiting for the Pool only to be told we got 28 days to leave the country had we not received your advice.
You are really appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend your service to anyone.
We have been separated for nearly five years and have gone through all different channels just to get my wife’s visa but, everything changed when we were introduced to Miss SanLing. Our hope for our marriage was bright again.
Miss SanLing carried us through the whole process and we won the case with the Migration Review Tribunal. I will recommend anyone to Ms SanLing Chan and I am proud to tell about our story.
Finally, thanks to Miss SanLing and on behalf of my wife and I, we will always appreciate her services.
It was nice meeting you.
I would recommend SanLing to anyone that is nervous, scared and insecure. SanLing was able to reassure me and explain the entire process to me. Thank you very much for your help! Thanks to you, my partner and I will now be able to travel overseas and see my family that I haven’t seen for 3 years!
Your knowledge and expertise in mitigation law exceeded all my expectations and i was fully impressed with your services. I commend your time and the commitment you spent on my case and I will forever be thankful to you for helping me through this uncertain time in my life.
I cant thankyou enough you truely are a wonderful person and a terrific mitigation lawyer and i would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future.
Thank you for all that you have done me and my family.
We really appreciated your assistance in taking care of everything.
God bless you always.
I recommend her services unhesitantly, I trust that your assistance would be extended to all your customers alike.
Thanks you for your help.
SanLing was very helpful and always prepared making it a very smooth experience.
I believe that SanLing was extremely beneficial to my RRV process and made it all painless.
SanLing is simply excellent!
SanLing Chan not only accepted my case but she provided me with information, strategies, ideas and support.
A month after I met her I am an Australian PR.
I strongly recommend Mrs Chan as an migration lawyer who has a personal approach to each client.
I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank you and for all of your help during our process.
You have always acted in a very professional and dignified manner, and at no point have I had any doubts about the quality of service you offer!
If anyone is looking for a solid, reliable immigration Solicitor who will bend over backwards to provide a good service, keep you in the picture at all times and always respond to questions within a day (sometimes within an hour!) I can highly recommend SanLing.
Just to let you know that last Tuesday we all took our Aussie oath up at Midland. Yet again, can we all thank you for all you had to put up with. Take care and you deserve a happy and long life!
Thanks a million SanLing!
Once again thanking you very much SanLing and God Bless you and your family.
It was a great outcome and a wonderful early anniversary present for us.
I cannot be successful without your help.
You came to her help without conditions attached. And you persevered through the process, even though things seemed daunting at times.
THANK YOU for your sincere and experienced support that resulted in mum getting her permanent residency approved in October 2008!
Thank you sooo much! You obviously made all the difference in this! Can’t thank you enough again!
Taken from her e-mail to a good friend, recommending SanLing’s services:
“…The lawyer that helps me with my immigration case in Australia is Ms. San Ling Chan. She is really great…”
I’ve already passed on your contacts to a couple of my friends!
You are the BEST!
