Hi Fishes! I have been trying to immigrate to Australia since 2018 with their permanent residence program and applying for jobs at Australian companies from the past 6 months. Both have not been successful and I am really depressed. I am a front end developer with over 9 years of experience. If anyone could provide any tips or contacts of recruitment agencies or consultants who could make my dream of immigration to Australia come true, then I would be really grateful. Thanks 🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
