It is important to know that there are many unlawful operators pretending to be registered migration agents. These people could be in your own communities, president of association, committee members, workers, or friends.
“Only registered migration agents can legally give immigration assistance in Australia. To do this, they must be listed on the Register of Migration Agents, held by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority.
Immigration assistance (under section 276 of the Migration Act 1958) is when a person uses or claims to use knowledge of, or experience in migration procedure to assist with visa applications or other visa matters by:
• preparing, or helping to prepare, a visa application or other document
• advising about a visa application or visa matter
• preparing for proceedings before a court or review authority in relation to a visa application or visa matter
• representing in proceedings before a court or review authority in relation to a visa application or visa matter.
