I’m incredibly grateful to have had such an amazing lawyer, Dora Park who has supported me and my wife throughout our journey nearly 10years from our very first student visa(subclass 500) all the way to successfully obtaining our permanent residency (subclass 186) in Australia. Immigration can be a stressful and complex journey, but throughout this long process, Dora always made the process clear and manageable. She was responsive, professional, reliable and detail-oriented. During challenging times, Dora and her team at Nevett Ford’s support and encouragement truly made a difference and gave us confidence every step of the way. i’m truly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Dora and Nevett Ford Lawyers to anyone seeking help with visa and trustworthy immigration assistance. Thank you so much for helping us to start a new life in Australia.

I had a great experience with Nevett Ford Lawyers throughout my immigration journey. A special thank you to Emily, who was incredibly supportive, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. She assisted me with my skills assessment and later with lodging my 186 visa application with my partner. Emily always took the time to answer my questions, carefully reviewed all documents, and ensured everything was prepared accurately and lodged on time. I would also like to thank Ryan and the wider team at Nevett Ford Lawyers for their assistance and support along the way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment gave us great confidence throughout the process. I highly recommend Nevett Ford Lawyers to anyone seeking immigration assistance. Thank you again for all your help!

I am incredibly grateful for Ryan and his team's support throughout my visa journey. With his guidance, I received both my Partner Visa (Subclass 309) grant and my Permanent Residency approval, and both outcomes came much sooner than I had expected, especially I was in a complicated position. From the very beginning, Ryan was professional, knowledgeable, and always on top of every detail. Thanks to his expertise and organisation, the entire process felt smooth and stress-free. What I appreciated most about working with Ryan was his honesty, straightforward advice, and how quickly he responded whenever I had questions or concerns. He was always approachable, patient, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. To me, Ryan was much more than just a lawyer. His kindness, support, and reassurance made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable and positive. I cannot thank him enough for helping us through this important milestone, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking immigration assistance.

The Nevett Ford Lawyers who helped me gain Permanent Residency in Australia were beyond exceptional. I am a retired licensed lawyer in the United States and a former law professor so I have had lots of interaction with lawyers over the years. I can state unequivocally that the Nevett Ford Lawyers were among the best I have ever worked with or relied upon. The team of Ryan Curtis-Griffiths, Emily Barr, and Shalini Kodikara were exceptionally knowledgeable, totally responsive to my needs, courteous, friendly, competent and gracious. During the course of my immigration journey, several issues developed that needed attention. My legal team handled all of these with speed and exceptional competence. And they always kept me informed of my status and my next steps. This was truly an outstanding service for which I always will be grateful and full of admiration. I give my team and Nevett Ford my highest recommendation. This is the team you want if you are considering immigrating to Australia or have any immigration questions. Linda Eads

Dora Park from the Nevett Ford Lawyers Melbourne team has helped my husband and me throughout our Subclass 801 Partner Visa process, and we could not be more grateful. She was always easily reachable and made sure we never had any worries or doubts during the visa process — which is something so important when dealing with visas and immigration matters. Not only was the process easy to follow, but everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Thanks to Dora’s support and guidance, we received our Subclass 801 Partner Visa grant in less than 2 months. We truly appreciate all the care, effort, and reassurance Dora gave us throughout the journey. I wish nothing but the best for Dora and the entire Nevett Ford Lawyers Melbourne team moving forward. Highly recommended!

Ryan, Shalini and Emily at Nevett Ford have been incredible to work with during the 8 years that it has taken to get my mother her permanent visa in Australia. I would recommend them to anyone. They have been extremely responsive and provided great advice during some tricky circumstances. I cannot thank them enough for everything they’ve done for my family.

I highly recommend Nevett Ford Lawyers for navigating their visa process. Dora Park provided exceptional service, guiding me step-by-step for 482 and 186 DE visa applications. The entire process was overwhelming initially, but Dora's professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of immigration laws made everything smooth and manageable. She was always patient with my questions and ensured all my paperwork was perfectly in order. Thanks to their expert support, my visa was granted successfully! Thank you Dora for the peace of mind and outstanding work.
