Our Process

We like to keep things nice and simple.

Book your free consultation

10 minutes with an immigration lawyer. We'll tell you where you stand, what's possible, and what's not. No obligation.

Custom visa strategy

Melbourne immigration lawyers review your case. Prior refusals? Evidence gaps? Character issues? We build around them.

Document preparation

Evidence collection for partner visa, skilled migration, business sponsorship. Organised so the Department doesn't have to guess.

Professional lodgment

Application submitted to Department of Home Affairs. No gaps, no loose ends, nothing that comes back with questions.

The K&A Advantage

No shortcuts. No surprises.

Three-pass
document review

Immigration officers look for reasons to refuse. Missing document? Refused. Unclear evidence? Refused. One mistake is all it takes.

Three-pass
document review

We check everything three times before lodgement. First pass: Is it complete? Second pass: Does it prove what we claim? Third pass: Could an officer misinterpret anything? Evidence gets compared against what regulations require. Nominations get checked against compliance standards. Statements address concerns before they're raised.

Fix problems
before lodgement

Most immigration lawyers react after lodgement. Request for Information arrives. Then they scramble.

Fix problems
before lodgement

We catch issues before your application leaves our office. Relationship evidence looks weak? We tell you before lodging, not after refusal. Sponsorship obligations unclear? Fixed during preparation. Old criminal conviction might trigger character concerns? We address it upfront in the initial submission. Cheaper to prevent refusals than appeal them.

Same lawyer,
start to finish

Your partner visa doesn't get passed between three different paralegals. Your 482 nomination isn't handled by whoever's available that day.

Same lawyer,
start to finish

One experienced immigration lawyer handles your case from consultation to approval. You call our Brunswick immigration lawyers? You speak to someone who actually knows your file. No "let me check your case notes" delays.

Nothing lodges
until it's ready

Most firms lodge applications when you're ready to pay. We lodge when the case is actually ready.

Nothing lodges
until it's ready

Missing bank statements? We wait. Relationship statement reads like a form letter? Gets rewritten. Evidence doesn't prove what you claim? Fixed first. It also means your application doesn't get refused for stupid reasons that were preventable. We'd rather delay lodgement than explain a refusal.

5,000+ cases worth
of experience

Policy changes that caught other firms off guard? We saw them coming. AAT appeals that looked impossible? We've won them.

5,000+ cases worth
of experience

Section 501 character cancellations? We know how the Minister's Direction actually works. Twelve years as Melbourne immigration lawyers handling Australian visas means we've seen your situation before. Maybe not identical, but close enough to know exactly what works.

"Katsaros and Associates went above and beyond in handling my difficult case, exploring all possible avenues to pursue justice in my migration to Australia. Obtaining permanent residency with their assistance was the biggest event in my life."
Nunzio P.
"We never expected to find someone like Dimitrios and his team. From the very first moment, he treated us with heart and filotimo, not as clients but as a family. Our situation was difficult and stressful. Dimitrios took on our case pro bono, without hesitation. He went above and beyond, something rare these days. He is a lawyer with honour and a man with conscience..."

Our Mission

More than visas. A new chapter.

Immigration isn't just paperwork. It's families reunited. Careers unlocked. Futures secured. That's what Melbourne immigration lawyers see every day.

At Katsaros & Associates, we've spent 12 years helping people start their next chapter in Australia. Not with shortcuts. Not with templates. With proper legal work that holds up when it matters.

We've seen what a visa approval means. The phone call when the grant comes through. The partner who finally gets to stay. The business owner who can hire the person they need. The family that doesn't have to say goodbye again.

That's why we do this. That's us.

Stop reading.
Start acting.

Book your assessment and let our senior immigration lawyers in Melbourne take it from here. We build the case, you get the approval.
