Sam was so good at helping us and advising us through the process. She was also super pleasant and easy to communicate with. She was fast at organising things for us when we needed her.

I would highly recommend everyone to use Abode migration especially Gerard. Gerard helped with my citizenship application and he made the whole process very easy and quick. I have already recommended my family and friends.

Samantha is an amazing human being, a great lawyer, a hard working person and a true legend. She helped me with my family migration matter and got me the best outcome that I was expecting and hoping for. I wish the best for Samantha and her colleagues and I strongly recommend this law firm.

I cannot thank Samantha enough for her outstanding assistance as my immigration lawyer. Her professionalism and dedication were evident from the start. What truly impressed me was her willingness to go the extra mile to ensure my visa application's success. Sam's meticulous attention to detail and proactive problem-solving set her apart. She personally invested herself in my case, maintaining clear and prompt communication, even outside regular hours and weekends. Thanks to her expertise and extraordinary efforts, my visa was granted. I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha to anyone in need of a caring, proficient, and above-and-beyond immigration lawyer. Special mention also goes to Molly for her assistance in the process.
Thank you.

Get a lawyer and make sure it’s Samantha and her team. From the moment we met Samantha for a consult, we were confident that we were dealing with an expert. Better still, we knew that we were dealing with someone who recognised we are real people facing very real circumstances in terms of what the visa process means. Our circumstances were not straight forward but we always felt well cared for and understood in our work with Samantha. She and her team became our greatest advocates and we’ll be eternally grateful for the positive impact they have had on our lives. We are beyond happy.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Abode Migration Lawyers to obtain my student visa, and their services were exceptional.
From start to finish, Sam provided me with invaluable guidance and detailed actions, making the entire process smooth.

Her availability impressed me; she was always responsive and prompt in addressing my concerns and questions making me feel supported and valued.

Also, her commitment to providing clear explanations and ensuring I understood every step of the process and the necessary documentation required was excellent.

I cannot recommend highly enough working with her!

Finding the right person to look after my case and having interacted with different migration agents, I came across Abode Migration Lawyers for my partner visa domestic violence case and i was not hesitant to say that it was a decision worthwhile. It was a tough case that I thought would have alot of speed bumps but glory be to god i spoke with Gerard and Samantha. Gerard played a big role giving me his time and knowledge, To say that Gerard and Samantha not only provided me answers that were well-informed and truthful, but also genuine and logical would be an understatement.helped me present a solid case to the Department convincing enough for consideration of a grant of the visa. The team was always supportive and approachable throughout the entire process of application and grant. We are certain that had we gone to a different agency or law firm or if we had attempted to apply on our own, we would not have achieved the outcome that we were looking for our case. We would highly recommend Abode Migration lawyers to anyone who is looking for a genuinely caring and competent team of professionals. They were a joy to work with and made the whole process stress free. I highly recommend their services.

I was recommended Sam at Abode Migration by a friend and I am very happy with the service provided. Sam met with me & my partner after my Subclass 190 visa was declined on health grounds. She kept me calm, reassured me, and we discussed our options. She supported me through the AAT process, and through a partner visa application and was always available for my never-ending questions. It is such a difficult & stressful time for anyone going through with Sam and her team being very empathetic & supportive. I was a success story, with the AAT over-turning their original decision! Thank you again Sam, to you, Gerard & all your clerical team for your hard work & dedication to all your clients. I would certainly recommend Abode for anyone needing professional immigration advice.

Me and my partner engaged with Abode Migration lawyers for our permanent residency visa application. All staff at Abode Migration Lawyers are very professional, efficient and friendly. Samantha is one of the most reliable one that we have found, always responded very quickly. We absolutely had a very great experience with Sam and Molly. We can’t thank enough. Me and my partner have successfully had our visa granted within in a month. We have been very fortunate to have found Samantha in our case. We would have no hesitation in recommending Samantha and Abode migration Lawyers.

After 5 years I have been waiting for my visa to be processed finally I have won AAT that couldn't gone any better. I have seen a few lawyers and all of them told me that my case would never win. But until last year when Gerard helped my niece to win her case that was similar to mine I knew this is my chance to change my representative for my AAT court.
Gerard was so thoughtful and professional in his communications. He helped me a lot to complete my document and also my evidences. He responded promptly to my enquiries and explained everything in a way I could understand. And trust me he will look after your case like he is you and try to find any little details that could help you archive your case's success.
If you are in need of an immigration lawyer, call Abode Migration Lawyers and Gerard or anyone of their team will solve your problem

Sam was honestly a lifesaver and took a lot of the stress and pressure that comes with the visa application process. My situation was more complex and Sam clearly set out the different pathways/scenarios to take. Patient and had quick response times to my endless emails and achieved the desired outcome! I've already referred a friend to Sam and would direct many more to her.

I hired the services of Abode Migration to help with obtaining my permanent partner visa. Samantha and the team were amazingly professional and were able to secure the visa in record time, and at a very affordable rate. They were a joy to work with and made the whole process stress free. I highly recommend their services.

This review was long overdue,
I have overstayed my student visa to Australia for around 8 years, which i still regret to this very day.
However, on late 2019 I was arrested by the cops on a traffic stop and deported by the border force, with a 3 year ban on my entry to Australia.

While in detention, I’ve contacted several lawyers and especially I’ve contacted a popular firm at Sydney I felt like they were trying take advantage of my situation than anything, and couldn’t really provide any information other than what I already know!

I was in a genuine relationship at that time and we were both worried and thought everything was ruined because of my actions literally thrown me out of the continent.

While Being locked up with all the stress of being in that situation it was difficult to figure out who is right and who is wrong and how to get help.

Thank god I found Samantha and upon first consultation I could tell than she was genuine, and most importantly a very nice person, she was professional, kind, informative and knowledgeable also provided us with tons of very valuable information.

Long story short,
I was deported back to my home country, then I applied for my off shore partner visa from overseas through Samantha and with her colleagues help and guidance, which took us a good 2 years as we had to prepare tones of paperwork!
After launching the my application within 6-7 months if I recall it right it was granted, now I hold a temporary resident visa and which will change into a permanent resident visa in about a year and a bit.

My case was so complicated, and I don’t really want to go too much into the details!

Words could not express how grateful we are to Samantha personally and her entire team you guys are life savers! Literally.

I’m going to bring some sweets for your guys (I don’t even know what it’s called but trust me it’s pretty good) when I get back and I’m expected to get back early Jan 2023.

I couldn’t recommend abode immigration services highly enough. They are the best in Australia.

I appreciate you guys and much love ️

I have engaged Abode Migration Lawyers in the AAT Appeal of the rejection of my visa application. It’s terrible time for me and my husband, all seems lost and stressed that’s what we felt. In our first meeting, Samantha clearly explained to us the process and what its going to take to win an appeal at the AAT. Gerard handed our case, he is very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and caring. He was very thorough in helping us to prepare documents and very details in building a strong case. Gerard legal statement was incredibly well written and perfectly. We won our case easily without an interview. That was a wonderful result, we were so happy with it. We can’t say enough thank you to Gerard, Samantha.
I highly recommend Abode Migration Lawyers to anyone who in need of immigration legal services.

No regrets! Sheer panic arose with the realization that my NZ permanent resident visa did not permit me to emigrate to Australia with my NZ citizen family. After reading reviews, I called Abode Migration Lawyers to take advantage of their free 15 minute consult.

The information Sam provided during the free consult was enough for me to lodge my own visa application, but I decided it was best to invest in her expertise. Absolutely no regrets! The Department's website estimated it would take 36-48 months to process my application; I spoke with Sam on 30/9 and had my visa on 17/3. A true tribute to Sam's tenacity; she was on the Department every step of the way and kept them on track.

Sam is thoughtful and professional in her communications. I was always kept abreast of my visa status. She responded promptly to my enquiries and explained everything in a way I could understand. I cannot sing her praises loud enough. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer, your search is over. Call Sam at Abode Migration Lawyers.

I spoke with 3 different lawyers before choosing this firm.

The reason being is that Sam takes her time with your issue. She listens to you and explains everything until you feel comfortable. She takes your calls/messages and if she is busy she let's you know when she will be contacting you. There is always communication.

From my working with her, I found her intelligent, down to earth, transparent and kind. It was important to me that I found these qualities in a lawyer as I didn't want to be just a number, but a person who needed their issue resolved.

Thank you for helping me with my legal issue. I would recommend this firm to all people debating as to whether you should choose them or someone else. You will get great service at a fair cost.

I reached out to Abode Migration and Sam to get a review of documents for my 190 visa Application and general advice for the said Application. She provided a detailed review of the my application, documents and also she reviewed my existing application/documents for 485/TR. I believe she has explicable attention to details, provided precise and accurate advice and went out of the way to help me.which I truley appreciate. Thank you Sam.
