The lawyers and paralegals at Timpson guided us through a particularly unusual and complicated partner visa application. Our immigration journey allowed us to finally live together after having endured a 4-year long-distance relationship, including during the COVID pandemic when we were separated for 2 years. Moving from Singapore and Tokyo to be together in Australia was the best choice we made as a couple; we’re now living a life that seemed almost unobtainable during those years. We are happily settled in Melbourne, and have just bought our first apartment (and a cat!). My partner and I would definitely recommend using Timpson for any immigration matters.

Timpson Immigration Lawyers
You will find that our visa experts are genuine friendly people who treat each case like it’s their own. Our immigration lawyers will get it right the first time.
When organising legal and official documentation, one of the most challenging hurdles to overcome relates to the submission of the correct documentation. The immigration department will require a variety of documents: from birth certificates all the way to documentation relating to criminal records, offences, and driving bans. Failure to submit these forms when requested can result in a delay or even a rejection of the application altogether.
A lawyer will have a firm understanding of what is required to gain approval for your visa and will help ensure that all relevant paperwork is prepared, organised, and ready for submission. By utilising the services of an immigration lawyer, the chances of obtaining approval increase several times over.

It was by sheer luck we stumbled upon Timpson Immigration Law but aren’t we glad we decided to work with them.
The team were nothing but excellent, and their expertise, diligence and professionalism made a rather daunting visa application process a seamless one.
My employer and I are very grateful for their excellent service and no doubt will continue to recommend them to anyone who needs help with their visa applications or immigration issues.
I’ve been working with Timpson Immigration Lawyers since October 2022 in regards to immigrating from the USA to Australia. We had a fairly complex case that resulted in us being unable to use a Migration Agency.
From day one and our consultation, I knew I’d found the right group to work with. This was after several poor encounters with other law firms. Timpson Lawyers were confident we could successfully obtain our 189 skilled visa.
I worked closely with Kathryn and the team. Kathryn was kind, demonstrated patience with my worries, and was knowledgeable on the laws and processes and visa applications. From the start, everything was clearly laid out. Through all the challenges I faced along the way, my team held strong and we persevered together. I’m so grateful for everyone on my team, now I can happily say- I’ve changed the course of my families life for the better. The Allen’s are moving to Australia.
Words will never be able to truly describe the depth of my gratitude. Thank you a million times over.
Timpson Immigration Lawyers have been undoubtfully our “game-changer” for the entire visa process, and we’ve been through a lot!
Thanks to their in-depth knowledge of the complex Australian immigration system, Louise and her team have always been more than simply available. They supported us, satisfied all our needs, took care of any possible issue that occurred, and did it with a professional, positive, and practical approach.
Definitely, much more than we expected and hoped. TIL’s invaluable help turned an “impossible mission” into “possible”, so we couldn’t recommend them more. We wouldn’t have made it without them!
I knew my journey to becoming an Australian Citizen was going to be a big challenge. One I could not navigate on my own. I wasn’t even sure where to begin.
The team at Timpson Lawyers were fantastic!. So willing to help and go out of their way to assist me with any problems that arose and answer my many questions and phone calls.
The whole process was made much easier and far less stressful. I can”t thank the Timpson Lawyers Team enough!”
Timpson Immigration Lawyers: My dreams came through with your professionalism and expertise.
Thank you, Danni and team, for your excellent guidance, support, and patience during my journey towards obtaining my Permanent Residency. I ascribe my success to you and the whole team. Highly recommended.”
“Katherine and her team was amazing in helping me with my visas, taking the time and care to explain the process to me. I had gotten my 485 visa denied Nov 2021 – so the Australian borders were not open yet from COVID. She helped me gain a 485 partner visa and then PR (SN190).”
“Timpson Lawyers helped us sponsor our employee successfully. I work in a not so common industry and so the experience and dedication to making sure we were able to get the application in question over the line was amazing. They handled a difficult case successfully, for me that warrants a 5 star rating. All round a great experience HIGHLY Recommend.”
