Testimonials
Our team at Axiom had employed a Site Manager on a fixed term contract who was on a holiday visa due to being unable to find a suitable candidate in the Australian market. He turned out to be a fantastic fit for our team and both he and Axiom were keen to keep the working relationship going. We therefore decided to review our options through the Skills in Demand, subclass Visa 482.
We reached out to the KU Legal team to assist. Joanne and Deena were a great team. They use a portal which we used for all communication and to download / upload all the reports required for the process. Everything was in one place.
The process was seamless. We met in June, and our company sponsorship was approved by August. Position nomination and visa application were all approved by December. This timing meant the employee was able to continue working with us with no gap in employment which was fantastic.
Would definitely recommend engaging KU Legal if you need to go through this process.
I’m an English citizen who unexpectedly met the love of my life (a dual English/Australian citizen) while I was on holiday in Sydney. For us to plan a future together in Australia, I required a partner visa, and (on the recommendation of a family friend) used KU Legal to assist in obtaining a subclass 309 Partner Visa.
By using KU Legal it removed a lot of stress and undoubtedly saved me a lot of time in understanding, applying for, and obtaining my visa. I was given clear guidance throughout, and any questions I had were answered quickly and clearly. I would absolutely recommend KU Legal to those seeking assistance in understanding and applying for an Australian visa. You’ll be in good hands with Joanne and the team.
I cannot speak highly enough of Joanne and her incredible team. From the moment I met Joanne, I was looking to be sponsored, and she guided me through every step with unmatched expertise and genuine care. Thanks to her, I was successfully granted a 482 sponsorship visa – and later, after my second sponsorship, she informed me about a new permanent residency pathway that had opened up through the 186 visa. We quickly worked together to get my paperwork submitted, and I was ultimately granted permanent residency. Truly life-changing!
Joanne and her team went above and beyond at every stage. They answered my many questions with patience and clarity, kept me up to date with every change to my visa options, and offered unwavering support and reassurance when I needed it most. They were proactive, professional, and always one step ahead.
I can’t thank them enough for their dedication and care. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without them. Having Joanne and her team on my side was the best decision I could have made.

I can’t be thankful enough to Joanne and her team to help me for my permanent residency. Initially me and my partner were looking for the right visas online but it was kinda confused and too much to start with, later we got in touch with Joanne and she advised us the right visa to apply for.
KU Legal team helped us all through the application (we wouldn’t have done it ourselves because lots of information that needed to be filled correctly). Joanne make sure you’re upto date even after application been sent.
We’re so greatful that we chose KU Legal services. I would highly recommend to people who are looking for their visa solution KU Legal it is.

We couldn’t be more happier with the service provided by Kite Union Migration. Thank you so much !
Joanne is a fantastic migration agent, very knowledgeable and professional. Always available when called. All in all a very enjoyable experience, she makes the complex visa process a breeze, I would highly recommend.
We were referred to KU Legal by a close family friend who had previously worked with them on a Partner Visa application and was successful, and we are so grateful we made the same decision. The team at KU Legal, especially Joanne and Christy, provided incredible support and attention to detail throughout the entire process.
Given the unique challenges of my situation then—living in Dubai while John in Australia—they offered practical solutions to simplify the process. They kept us well-informed, advising us on the best course of action at every step. Whenever additional documentation was needed, they promptly communicated and ensured everything was in order.
Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we received my Partner Visa in record time. We highly recommend KU Legal to anyone in need of immigration assistance. They are not only professional but also compassionate, truly going above and beyond for their clients.
For over 20 years I have personally handled visa applications for our staff and overseas students with few problems and nothing that I couldn’t cope with myself.
Late last year and for the very first time in my experience, an application for a prospective staff member was declined and I was at a complete loss as to how to proceed. People were telling me that I should give up as moving forward with the application now would be extremely difficult and time consuming, and I do have a business to run.
My accountant was aware of the problem and suggested I engage a specialist solicitor. He subsequently introduced me to Joanne and the rest is history.
She was amazing – knowledgeable, diligent and very capable – and in a much shorter time than I could have hoped for, the visa application was successful.
I cannot recommend Joanne too highly, her expertise saved the day for me and my employee and while there is a cost involved, the expense has proved more than worthwhile and spared me many headaches.
Almost 3 years ago my residency status was pretty rocky due to COVID. It was nerve racking to say the least but through KU Legal I was able to apply for my 820 and subsequently 801 PR visa. The service was excellent, attention to detail was meticulous and speaking with Joanne, I always felt at ease even during the most uncertain times of my application. Would definitely recommend the service if you want the peace of mind and the confident advice of a professional legal team!
After we got married in India, I joined my husband, an Australian citizen, in Sydney, and got in touch with Joanne to apply for a partner visa on our behalf. From our first meeting with Joanne, her expertise shone through, and we knew without a doubt that we were in very safe hands. A little over a month later, all our documents were in order and Joanne had put in the application. The waiting period never felt overwhelming because we had all the help and support, we needed from Joanne and her team, through emails and calls. Recently, I was granted my PR and my partner, and I are over the moon! A big thank you, Joanne and team for all your amazing work. We are forever grateful.
I came from Germany to live with my Australian partner here in Sydney and we applied for a partner visa with the help of Kite Union Migration.
The team at Kite Union gave us excellent advice and they made the whole visa process smooth and easy. They took care of everything for us and everything we needed to pass, they were right there beside us guiding us. Nothing was too much or too unreasonable to ask.
We had our Partner Visa granted in just one year! Thank you so much Joanne and team, we couldn’t have done it without you.
I first reached out to Joanne at KU Legal about a year before my post-graduate visa was set to expire. I was exploring my visa options and checking if I was eligible for sponsorship. Joanne’s expertise was evident from the start; she conducted a comprehensive eligibility review based on my experience and qualifications and clearly outlined all my options. I eventually found an employer willing to sponsor me, and both Joanne and Christy provided invaluable support throughout the process of obtaining the 482 skills shortage visa.
Despite facing tight deadlines, Joanne and Christy handled everything with remarkable professionalism, calmness, and reassurance. They made something that was an incredibly stressful time for me, so much easier and answered all of my questions and concerns with patience and empathy. Receiving the call from Joanne to inform me that my visa had been approved was an immense relief and a testament to the hard work of everyone involved. I highly recommend KU Legal for their exceptional service and support.
Just a quick note your efforts have made an immediate and significant impact on my business – I really appreciate the dedication and professionalism of your team it made all the difference.
