“We worked with Academic Link and Mr Taner for more than a year and a half on our permanent residency journey. Despite constantly changing regulations and document requirements, our case was managed with great care and we achieved a successful outcome. Throughout the process, we saw how important it is to work with a registered and professional adviser who understands Australian migration law. We believe choosing Academic Link was the right decision.”

“I managed my Australian migration process with Academic Link. With his knowledge and experience, Mr Taner played a very important role in helping me obtain permanent residency. Because the process is complex, I believe professional advice is essential. I can confidently recommend Academic Link to anyone planning to settle in Australia.”

“When we decided to build a life in Australia, the complex visa options and procedures were worrying. Mr Taner prepared separate assessments for my partner and me and identified the most suitable pathway for our family. From skills assessment through to visa approval, he was accessible, systematic and professional. Our application was prepared so thoroughly that no additional documents were requested at any stage. Academic Link was a trusted partner throughout the entire process.”

“I needed a Subclass 400 visa to attend a professional training seminar. After contacting Mr Taner, all I needed to do was provide the required documents. Even though it was just before a public holiday period, my visa was granted within four days. His experience, attention to detail and professional approach played a major role in making the process so fast and smooth.”

“Although the Subclass 402 visa required a difficult and detailed document preparation process, Mr Taner’s reassuring approach and command of the subject gave me the confidence to apply through Academic Link. Thanks to the careful preparation of my documents and disciplined case management, I received my visa on time. I am now working as a Research Assistant in Nanotechnology at Queensland University of Technology.”

“Moving to Australia and managing the visa process initially seemed quite confusing. During our first meeting with Ulaş Taner, we realised that professional support was the right way forward. He managed every stage flawlessly, from preparing our documents through to visa approval. We also received support with English courses, life in Australia and accommodation. I now live in Melbourne and know that the process would not have been this smooth without Academic Link.”

“When my visa process started, I heard many different and worrying opinions from people around me. Thanks to Mr Taner, however, I did not experience fear or stress during the process. Whenever I had a question, he answered my calls and supported me at every stage. Contrary to what I had been told, my visa was approved in only three months. Today I am living happily in Australia with my wife and daughter.”
