Migrate to Australia from South Africa

Hi Andrew,

Hope you’re well. So we at long last made it…

We landed in Sydney last Friday via Singapore. Currently sitting in hotel quarantine in Sydney with a view of Darling Harbour (life could be worse…). To say we are extremely relieved to finally be here is an understatement.

Thank you again Andrew for all our help in getting us to this point. You really went above and beyond to assist us, counsel us, assuage our worries (and there were many…), etc. I think our case was a particularly tricky one, what with the addition of Jack to our visa, my timing issues with my job, and of course the pandemic that added massive layers of complexity and stress to it all. But despite all this you guided us through it all and we’re finally here. Thanks for the countless phone calls and advice. We owe you big time, thanks Andrew.

When the world gets back to normal and if you’re ever this side of the world, let me know and it’d be great to buy you a coffee.

Cheers,

We cannot sing Migrate 2 Oz’s praises enough, we often follow social media platforms and groups looking for migration agents and recommend you guys all the time. The process was seamless, Reuven and Jessica were always helpful and the advice was clear and concise.

We have referred a few of our friends who want to come over to Australia and always recommend your honest and fair assessment and services.

Take care!

Dear Andrew,

I would like to thank you for your professional work. You are always quick to respond to all our questions and your answers are straightforward and thorough. Although there was a mass of paperwork, you made it very clear as to what was needed, making the whole application much less stressful!

I would happily recommend your service to anybody else who is looking to immigrate to Australia!

Thank you very much once again!

Dear Reuven, Jessica, and the Migrate 2 Oz Team,

Thank you for all you have done for me in preparing and submitting my visa. I am very thankful to have received my visa, particularly during this unprecedented time, and could not thank you enough for all your help. I greatly appreciate all the support and patience you provided me every step of the way.

I would highly recommend Migrate 2 Oz. The service I received was professional, and the team was always willing to provide information and feedback promptly and efficiently.

It really was a pleasure going through this process with the team, so thank you again for everything. All the best and I am sure we will be in touch again soon.

Kind regards,

Dear Reuven, Jessica, Monica and Team

Thank you for relaying this wonderful news. You have all communicated so promptly and professionally during this whole journey and that is much appreciated.

I am incredibly grateful to have received this visa, especially considering the new points rules from Nov, the current state of the world, and my own life path. 20 months ago, when I first made contact with you, I did not know if this was possible. I am still not quite sure how I actually made it.

Thank you for all the efforts that you made on my behalf. For sure I could not have passed the skills assessment without your professional inputs. And knowing I was supported made the entire process much more tolerable – from the paperwork and documents, the medicals in a foreign country, everything in-between, and the final long wait.

Looking forward to exploring my new home. After living in Friesland, I will strongly consider Tassie.

With warm regards and a loud applaud,

Dear Andrew,

I want to thank you for all your patience and help during the process of my business skills visa. It is VERY much appreciated by myself and my family.

Thank you so very very much!

To Reuven Abeshouse,

We would like to commend Reuven Abeshouse for the service that has been provided up until now. The service and responses are quick and efficient. Thank you for all the useful information and guidance towards our move. The expectations of what was needed were clearly outlined. It was a pleasure utilising this service.

We highly recommend Reuven Abeshouse.

Migrate 2 Oz are experienced, highly knowledgeable, and efficient. I highly recommend your service!

Thank you

Dear Reuven and the Migrate 2 Oz team,

I want to thank you very much for your excellent service and support. I am beyond thrilled to have received our visas.

The team delivered a seamless skills assessment application, successful EOI Submission, and visa lodgement. Communication was clear and ongoing, with regular updates regarding the progress.

Migrate 2 Oz are experienced, highly knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend your service!

Thanks again!

Hi Reuven,

Thank you so much for taking the time to not only look through my application but to give me such a thorough, detailed response to it! I am so incredibly grateful and truly so appreciative of your services.

I just responded to Jessica Onions explaining that as much as I would love to continue with Migrate 2 Oz as I embark on this new adventure, I unfortunately do not have the finances to pay your service fees right now. I hope you understand.

Although it saddens me that I can’t work alongside of you and your team, I must just praise Migrate 2 Oz for the BEST professional immigration advice and service. I am very grateful for all of your assistance and do wish I could proceed with you.

Take care and thank you so much once again!

Warmest regards,

Dear Reuven, Jessica, Monica and all others we have worked with along the way,

All I can say is thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Best news!

Thank you for all your patience and hard work, and for convincing us again to re-look at applying. I appreciate how relatively pain-free the whole process was, considering the enormity of it. And I’m sure that was only the case because we had such a great team assisting us.

Take care and kind regards,

Dear Reuven and team,

Compliments of the Season and best wishes for the New Year!

I just wanted to express our gratitude to you and your team for guiding us from start to finish through the process of obtaining our 489 visa for Australia. Your instructions were always crystal clear and it took a lot of the stress out of the whole process, as we just had to provide you with the necessary paperwork. We really felt supported, valued and understood. A special thanks to Monica and Jessica for responding so promptly each time to all our queries and ongoing questions.

With our visa now in hand, we are soon to begin a whole new world down under thanks to the hard work and dedication of everyone at Migrate 2 Oz. We have absolutely no hesitations or concerns in recommending your company to anyone who is needing expert guidance and advice in obtaining a visa for Australia.

Thank you so very much to you and your team.

Dear Reuven, Jessica and Monica,

Yesterday we have received the most exciting news in regards to our Australian permanent migration visa being granted. Firstly, I want to extend a massive Thank You and commendation to you guys and the rest of the Migrate To Oz team who had been involved in our application process.

It has been over two years since the time we had signed the initial agreement with Migrate To Oz to represent us in during the process of obtaining permanent residency in Australia. Prior to engaging with the team at Migrate To Oz, I had a frank conversation with Reuven concerning our chances of obtaining a permanent-resident visa. He was direct and told me straight what needed to be done to get the necessary points to apply. I appreciate your honesty and guidance, Reuven.

Throughout the process, Jessica and Monica’s assistance, attention to detail and dedication have been of outstanding standards. You’ve responded promptly to all of our questions and provided comprehensive feedback, especially during the crucial skills assessment process.

I would recommend anyone who considers migration to Australia to utilise the services of Migrate To Oz. Australian migration is a process that involves getting all the steps right and is filled with intricacies that are easy to miss or neglect (for example, obtaining PASA approval). Reuven, Jessica and Monica and the rest of the team at Migrate To Oz sure know what they are doing.

Dear Reuven, Jessica, Monica, Devan & Team,

We would like to offer a sincere and heartfelt thank you for all your efforts during our emigration process.

From the very first phone call, you impressed us with your professionalism. Other companies that we contacted prior to finding out about you, did not take our case seriously and failed to get back to us promptly, but everyone in your team was patient and quick at responding to our very many questions, for which we are truly grateful!

An extra challenge we had was applying for Australian visas as South Africans who are living in neither country at present, but with your clear guidance, we navigated through the complications and have now successfully been granted our visas!

We would certainly recommend your services to anyone who is interested in moving to Australia in the future.

Thanks for the life-changing work that you do!

Warm regards,

Dear Migrate 2 Oz Team,

Thank you so much for the amazing news! We are so grateful to you and your team for all of your hard work and for ensuring the successful outcome of our visas.

We will definitely recommend your services to anyone that asks, we have already referred one of our friends to you and he is currently using your services, he is nearly ready to lodge his visa!

Thank you once again.

Dear Reuven,

I would like to sincerely thank you and your team for the excellent service we have received from Migrate2Oz.

From our first encounter on the call, to the follow ups, paperwork and feedback from the team were excellent and made this process for us quite easy. We were in the UAE so not close to South Africa, but the team really made all of this a smooth process while we were far away from home. Please give our sincere regards to Jessica, Devan, Jeannine and Monica – they were all extremely helpful and never got frustrated once with our many questions.

We wish you all the best in future and will recommend you services where we can.

Dear Reuven, Jeannine, Jessica, Monica and the rest of the Migrate 2 Oz team

Izak and I decided to start the process of migrating to Australia in September 2018, which in itself was a big life-altering decision.

Our Visa application was lodged in March 2019 and we received a call from Reuven on 17 September 2019 informing us that our visa had been granted which caught us completely off guard as we were not expecting an answer so quickly but we were also so happy and excited. As daunting as the whole process seemed, it actually wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be and we only received efficient and professional assistance from Migrate 2 Oz.

We were always kept abreast of the developments with our application and never felt as if we couldn’t ask questions when we were unsure or needed reassurance.

Izak and I cannot thank you all enough for all the assistance we received and the friendly manner in which you dealt with us during this life-changing process, we have had a fantastic experience dealing with you all and would definitely recommend Migrate 2 Oz to anyone that is considering taking the first step in migrating to Australia.

Thank you all once again.

Best regards,

Dear Reuven, Jessica, Monica and the rest of the Migrate 2 Oz team,

Jason and I would like to say a very big thank you for all your hard work, you guys have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. Getting our visa granted today has been a dream of our for many months and with your assistance and perseverance you have made our dream come true.

Thank you again for the bottom of our hearts we really do appreciate all you have done.

Kind Regards,

Dear Reuven and the rest of the Migrate 2 Oz Team,

Apologies that it took me this long to send you a THANK YOU email! We were obviously so excited and then the big move actually dawned on us hahaha

I would just like to thank all of you for your excellent service. No doubt it has been a very long and difficult road for us, but it has all been so worth it! Thank you for always being patient with us (mostly with me haha) and for your professional guidance. Without you guys, we would not have been able to achieve our goal.

There were numerous times that we thought it was the end for us and we felt like giving up, but thanks to you, we are now moving to Australia!!

We will forever be grateful to you and we will definitely refer your company to our friends and family who wish to immigrate.

Hopefully, we will chat to you soon for our PR application 🙂

Take care.

Regards,

Dear Reuven, Jessica and Team,

We would just like to write to you to give you our heartfelt thanks for all of your assistance and support in getting our 190 visas granted. The day that I first logged a query via your website, I received a phone call within 10 minutes from Ray who spent quite a while chatting to me about what my options were, what to expect and what was involved. I was given as much time as I needed to consider if it was something we wanted to pursue. At no point did we feel pressurised to make a decision or like we were being swayed in a certain direction so that you could make some money off of us. In fact, Ray told me that this was a massive decision and that before we sign anything, that my husband Donovan and I needed to be on the same page and that we should discuss the pros and cons and make a decision together as a couple and get back to him when we were ready.

Ray took the time to answer our questions and gave us some tips about being CAs in Australia and pointed us in the direction of who could help us become accredited there, this was before we even signed our contract with them.

It took us about a month to decide, but eventually, we decided to sign a contract with Migrate2Oz. Almost immediately we were welcomed and we were sent a whole lot of information telling us what we would need to do, step-by-step. A list of all of the documents which we would need to gather, how to book for the English exam, what the timelines were, etc

We were guided every step of the way and encouraged to keep going (especially when I felt like we would never be able to pass the PTE English exam). Every neurotic email I sent – and there were many, was answered speedily by Jessica who would calm my nerves over and over and over again. I think I was borderline harassing Jessica during the 6-month wait between lodging the visa and getting the grant, but she replied each and every time with reassurance for us to hang in there, it was coming.

We are most grateful for the decision which was made by Migrate 2 Oz to lodge an EOI for both a 190 and a 189 visa. We were only really interested in the 189 visa and couldn’t understand why the 190 was applied for, little did we know that this was our saving grace! If it was not for your decision to put in the EOI for the 190, then I am quite certain that we would never have received an invitation nor a visa grant.

You have been extremely supportive (particularly Jessica) throughout the entire process and super efficient with not a single error made.

We will forever be grateful for your services and will recommend you to family and friends in future. Definitely money well spent!

Thank you for everything.

Kind Regards,

Hello Jeannine & Reuven,

Reuven was very helpful and understanding of my position.
I now fully understand the reason behind the decision and the challenges I face.
I very much appreciate the straight to the point and honest service you have provided me. Many other “agencies” have all said yes then just asked me for money which I found rather odd.

Keep up the great work.

Kind regards,

Dear Reuven and Jessica,

I am writing my letter to express my kindest gratitude towards you for conducting our VISA application with the utmost professionalism. From the start, Reuven gave me the correct advice.

Every time I phoned all the staff at Migrate 2 Oz were super helpful during the whole process. Jessica’s calm and friendly demeanor smoothed over any concerns that I raised. Reuven gave me a nudge when I lost focus for a few months.

Thank you for lending us a truly helpful hand. I can highly recommend your professional service to anyone who is interested.

A warm and heartfelt thank you from the whole van den Berg family!

Our kindest regards,

Dear Ray, Reuven, Monica, Jessica,

March 2015 was our first contact with your company and at that initial stage I was as ready as ever to start our migration process but my wife did not share my passion, so our journey with Migrate 2 Oz did not seem one that would become a reality, 10 months later I had my wife convinced the move to AUS will be the best move for our family.

During the following 2 weeks of our lives I tried endlessly to make contact with Migrate 2 Oz but with no success….. We started looking around for a new migration agent for a day or three and for all the right reasons we did not find an agent in time. The next moment my phone rang with a number that I was not familiar with. Answered the phone and there was Raymond Welthagen from Migrate 2 Oz, following up on a saved reminder set on his computer to call me in January 2016 to see If I managed to get my wife on-board….. now is that a relationship that was meant to be or not???? Raymond confirmed during the time that I tried endlessly to reach Migrate 2 Oz’s office their Telkom land lines were stolen hence the challenge for anyone to get hold of them…

The saved reminder to call us back in January 2016 we see as a true blessing in disguise…. Thank you Raymond…

Our Journey started there with the most amazing professional team of individuals the migration industry could ever present…. Reuven – your well oiled team at Migrate 2 Oz always had the time to listen and in our case more than often, they had to listen even more, because we were asking crazy questions on a regular basis.

Not once did we get any negative vibes or atmosphere but rather calming and assuring feedback that all is well on track “we just need to follow the system”

Some days were as crazy as they could get and we would be stressing about specific results or feedback and time and again the amazing Monica would answer the call and do what she does best…

Reuven – we regret not one second spend with your team and your company, professionally and with integrity your team handled our case and dragged us through the toughest of times to this date that felt like an eternity – the grant of our PR 189 Skilled Visa.

THANK YOU Migrate 2 OZ, YOU GUYS ARE 2nd TO NONE……..

Regards,

Dear Reuven, Jess and Co,

All I can say right now is I am extremely happy!!

Dreams do come true… sometimes!

A very big thank you, it has been a pleasure.

Man, I have to go now and tell my sister!!

Thanks again, all!

Yours Sincerely,

To Reuven, Jessica, Monica and the rest of the wonderful team at Migrate 2 Oz,

Thank you for your assistance in making our dream come true. Your patience and hard work are highly appreciated.

We will be spreading the word on your excellence wherever we go.

We can highly recommend your work; every email has been answered promptly and thoroughly. Even our time frames worked out as estimated, being a total of 10 month from the initial payment up until the visa grant.

We received our Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa on 25 March 2019.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sincerely,

My word…

I never thought this day would come – and then the day arrived and I still cannot believe it!

I can never thank you all enough for the amazing work you did to help us along this long and draining journey. We are so entirely blessed to have worked with people like you and Reuven!

Thank you for all your hard work and patience. We cannot put into words how excited we are to start our journey in Australia!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We owe you the world and more!

Hi Migrate 2 Oz Team,

Just wanted to thank the team at Migrate2Oz, Reuven, Jessica,Ray and Monica for helping us to get to this point!! Thanks for all your advice and for taking the constant phone calls, your patience (Reuven especially) even when it wasn’t all sunshine and roses 🙂 Your advice was always sound, I now see why you are the best in your field as we would never had received the invite or VISA had we attempted this application on our own. I have referred and will continue to refer clients to Migrate2Oz as your level of service and expertise surpassed all our expectations. We will be in touch soon to arrange flights and medical aid( your help would be greatly appreciated), and maybe discuss one or two things that we are still unsure of.

Once again thank you for all your help

Chat soon,

Hi All,

I just wanted to let you know that we have settled well here in Canberra and are very happy. We both found jobs easily and life is so different to South Africa (as you can imagine). Our youngest is in day care and eldest is at pre-school. We have also just bought a house.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work and reassurance along the way. In hindsight the whole process ran really professionally, smoothly and you made it simple and straightforward. I would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking to make the move.

We greatly appreciate all the effort.

Many thanks,

Dear Mr. Abeshouse,

I am writing this letter to express thanks regarding your services in obtaining family’s Skilled – Independent (subclass 189) visa.

Your team and yourself displayed professional and service excellence throughout this entire process. Migrate 2 Oz are distinguishable in your knowledge regarding immigration aspects and made this process seamless and stress less as possible. It was truly a pleasurable experience in the support you rendered.

Thank you to yourself Reuven Abeshouse, Jessica Onions and Monica Robinson for your excellent service and your support in making my family’s dreams come true. All good beginnings will surely deliver a happy and exciting new start to a new life abroad.

I highly recommend your services to any future clients, for me it was money well spent!

All the best and success going forward. Will surely be in touch in future.

Yours truly,

Dear Jessica, Reuven and Team,

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for all you have done for us with regards to our immigration to Australia. Thank you for the professionalism, diligence and general level of involvement and service we received from you.

This would not have been possible without your assistance, especially with all the paperwork and certification required and the skills assessment part, which just seemed like an impossible feat.

My family and I are looking forward to our new life and we will refer people to you with pleasure.

Sincerely,

Migrate to Oz,

I would like to make us of this opportunity to formally commend Migrate to Oz for the outstanding service they provided to me and my wife in the process of obtaining our Australian State-Nominated Visas. The quality of service their entire team extended to us was far beyond our expectations.

Initially, when we set out with our endeavour of migrating to Australia, the route looked rather daunting and seemingly impossible at times. Fortunately we came across Migrate to Oz company after a friend recommended we consider acquiring professional help. After a brief discussion with Reuven Abeshouse and a preliminary feasibility assessment, we were given the assurance that, together with their expert knowledge of the industry, we would be able to achieve all our objectives in as short a time as possible.

What we appreciated the most from the level of service provided were their intimate involvement and honest suggestions. It did not matter who I made contact with at the Migrate to Oz office, that person immediately knew who I was and what our current application status was. On numerous occasions their extremely competent staff also guided us away from various pitfalls and unnecessary expenses, even at the cost of their own professional fees. These experiences contributed significantly to the lovely thought that my wife and I were not just another case on somebody’s desk, but that were actually valued clients and that our interests were put first.

In closing, I believe that Reuven Abeshouse and his team truly deserve to be congratulated and rewarded for providing customer service and support well beyond our expectations with our Visa applications. Migrate to Oz surely gained our complete trust and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone interested in migrating to Australia.

Sincerely,

Dear Reuven/Ray,

This mail serves as my commendation for the astounding service received for my PR 189 visa application process.

I would like to extend a massive THANK YOU to the entire Migrate 2 Oz team (especially Ms Jessica Onions) for an experience that was nothing short of professional, speedy and pleasant. Your service has definite met and exceeded all of my expectations from the start of my application, to receiving my visa, which took an incredible 4 months.

I chose Migrate 2 Oz based on recommendations of colleagues and friends who have already migrated successfully to Australia using your services, and I highly recommend Migrate 2 Oz to all those who are ready to migrate.

Kind regards,

Dear Migrate 2 Oz

Our experience with Migrate 2 Oz was great. Ray gave us great advice and so much information about the whole process from the first time we met with him until we got the great news that our visas were granted.

Ray, Reuven and their whole team were very helpful and they informed us of everything we needed to do & all the documents we needed to submit to make the process as efficient and quick as possible. They also kept us in the loop about the progress of our visas throughout the process so we never had to wonder or ask what was going on.

Thanks so much for making our visa application, which really could’ve been an admin nightmare, such a smooth and easy process. I highly recommend Migrate 2 Oz to anyone who wants to apply for their Australian visa.

Kind regards,

Dear Migrate 2 Oz

As we are about to embark on our journey to Australia, we would like to take a moment to thank Migrate 2 Oz.

From the very first email, Reuven has helped to turn the very daunting idea of applying for out 189 Visa to Australia into a relatively easy to achieve goal. He has provided us with guidance every step of the way, and the process has moved along seamlessly, and much faster than we ever anticipated.

Not only has Migrate 2 Oz been very efficient and professional in the handling of our visa application, they have been compassionate and taken our individual set of circumstances into account.

We have and will continue to highly recommend Migrate 2 Oz to anyone considering immigration.

Kind regards,
