Gerry, Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa applicant [health waiver], February 2026
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Kathryn and her team for their outstanding support throughout my Subclass 186 visa application. My case involved a health waiver, which I understand can be a complex and sensitive aspect of the application process. Kathryn handled everything with exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and strategic expertise. She carefully prepared and presented the health waiver submission, ensuring that all relevant information was clearly addressed. What truly amazed me was the outcome — our application was lodged yesterday, and the visa was granted in less than 24 hours. I was genuinely shocked and incredibly happy. This result speaks volumes about the quality of preparation and the strength of the submission. Throughout the entire process, Kathryn was responsive, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I always felt confident that my case was in very capable hands. I highly recommend Kathryn and her firm to anyone seeking immigration assistance, especially for complex matters such as health waivers. Their expertise and dedication truly make a difference. Thank you again for helping me achieve this important milestone in my life.”
