Testimonials
“A Journey from Uncertainty to Permanent Residency with Sarah Frankel”
My family and I are beyond thrilled to share our incredible experience with Estrin Saul, which culminated in us becoming permanent residents of Australia. Reflecting on our journey that began in 2021, it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come, and we owe it all to the exceptional Sarah Frankel and her dedicated team at Estrin Saul.
When I first approached Sarah, I was faced with numerous dilemmas. We started from a withdrawn employer-sponsored 482 visa and had only 28 days to leave the country. Navigating the complex visa process seemed overwhelming, and I was unsure of the best path forward. The uncertainty of the future and the intricacies of immigration requirements were daunting, but from our initial consultation, Sarah provided clarity and direction that put us at ease.
Sarah’s guidance, support, and professionalism have been invaluable throughout this process. Her expertise in handling every aspect of our application—from intricate paperwork to meeting all the necessary requirements—has been nothing short of outstanding. Remarkably, within 2 years and 10 months, we transitioned from a precarious situation to obtaining permanent residency. Not a single S56 request was issued during this period, a testament to how thorough and precise this law firm is.
Sarah dedicated countless hours to ensure that every detail was meticulously handled, and her prompt responses to our queries and clear explanations made a seemingly daunting process much more manageable.
Thanks to Sarah’s unwavering support, our dreams have become a reality. This achievement means so much to my family and me, opening up a world of opportunities and a bright future in Australia. Sarah Frankel’s hard work and dedication have profoundly impacted our lives, and we will always remember and appreciate the crucial role she played in helping us achieve this milestone.
I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah Frankel and Estrin Saul. – Lingani
ESTRIN SAUL are Efficient, Integrity, Professionalism, Empathic and very Experienced. You can trust them for absolutely the best outcome. My family and I highly recommend Estrin Saul to help with all your migration concerns. Our case was long and complicated however we ended up with a successful result under Sarah’s professional help. I don’t think I could get same successful result if I were handling the case by myself or with the other agent. I would like to thank the team at Estrin Saul and especially Sarah who is really understanding, helpful, and did the excellent job. I wish you and your team all the success in the future and also good luck to all the applicants. Thanks a lot… KK
