HOW DO I KNOW THAT SMARTER IMMIGRATION IS THE RIGHT IMMIGRATION LAW AGENCY FOR ME?

The first thing you consider when you choose an agent is their OMARA number - the first two digits tell you the year they were registered initially and may indicate how many years registered as an agent.  Some agents may have been registered more than once and they would have a different number allocated previously.  Our principal migration agent has been registered for some 14 years in total.  Ian McGovern MARN1065703 (previously MARN0100983) holds a Masters degree in Immigration Law & Prac.  With 14 years migration agent experience Ian is able to assist complex partner visa matters and appeal matters for those applicants who self managed but were refused.  He has a 99% success record with partner visas assisted to decision and 100% at AAT for assisted appeal matters to date.
