Whiteley Ironside & Shillington

Great advice and attention to detail. Highly recommend !

I cannot recommend Whiteley Ironside and Shillington highly enough for their outstanding work on my 494 visa application. My case was particularly complex due to my age and several other complications, yet their expertise, dedication, and strategic approach made all the difference.

From the very beginning, Vanessa Vasquez demonstrated a deep understanding of immigration law, providing clear guidance and reassurance at every step. She navigated the legal challenges with precision, anticipating potential roadblocks and addressing them proactively. Her attention to detail and commitment to my case gave me complete confidence in her abilities.

Thanks to their efforts, Vanessa and her team, I was able to secure my visa successfully—an outcome that seemed uncertain at times. If you are looking for highly skilled and reliable immigration lawyers who truly go above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend this firm.

Vanessa was an incredible support and a creative problem-solver during some unforeseen challenges with my visa process. After encountering issues with my partner (309/100) visa application, we turned to Vanessa, who immediately put our minds at ease. She guided us through the visa process with confidence and provided a practical approach that allowed me to stay with my husband in Australia while we worked through it all.

I can’t recommend Vanessa and the team at Whiteley Ironside & Shillington highly enough. We’ll be using her again when it’s time to apply for citizenship!

I can't recommend Whiteley Ironside & Shillington highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we felt completely at ease. Felicia was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, patiently guiding us through the entire process of updating our wills. She took the time to explain the legal ramifications in a clear and understandable way, ensuring we felt confident in our decisions. Their service is truly second to none – I wish we could give them more than 5 stars!

Vanessa and Emily expertly managed our business migration, ensuring a seamless and compliant process. They anticipated challenges and addressed every detail, ensuring a successful outcome. Highly recommend

Outstanding practice. Can’t thank Vanessa Vazquez enough for all her help. Absolutely nothing was a problem. Thank you.👌

Can't be more thankful for the hard work that has been done for my sponsor visa. Vanessa took my case in an extremely stressful situation and made everything work. Highly recommend!

Vanessa and her team at WI&S have been the best immigration lawyers and solicitors I have ever come across. My immigration situation in Australia was extremely complicated having had a declined work visa and being on numerous bridging visas whilst an appeal was conducted but the team helped me along the whole journey to now being an Australian Citizen.

Communication is evidently paramount to the team at WI&S and detailed explanations of every step of the process is absolutely second nature to them. Although my personal process was complicated we were successful through every stage of my status from declined work visa to stage one partner visa to permanent resident and citizen. I felt the supported every step of the way and had complete confidence that my questions during the process would be answered in a detailed and punctual manner.

Looking back on the process, I would not have wanted to go through the rigorous journey without the team at WI&S - I feel so lucky to have come across the firm and could not recommend them enough to anyone wanting a reliable, professional and genuine legal firm to help with any of their legal needs.

Thank you so much!

The Team at Whiteley lronside and Shillington made my process of becoming and Australian so easy. They took care of all the hard, scary paper work side of things. The things I was scared I would get wrong and then find myself in a night mare trying to fix. It was so much easier to sit down with Vanessa just once and chat all about the process and what I needed to do. I can't thank the team enough. I will now become a citizen of Australia on Jan 26th 2024 .. and I couldn't be prouder.

Thanks guys. Cheers Megan

Many thanks to Vanessa, Danielle, Lexi and Miki for guiding us through the migration minefield, from temporary work visas right through to permanent residency. Couldn't be happier.

They also acted in my family migration, successfully bringing by sister and her 2 children to Australia. The team’s proactive management and compilation of evidence meant that the visas were obtained quickly.

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington are migration law experts who explain the law and requirements clearly. They respond quickly and proactively pursue the Department to grant visas as soon as possible. Even though I was overseas, I was constantly informed. They were always available on Zoom and email. Vanessa took over our matter after our 187 visa was refused. Whiteley Ironside & Shillington appealed the decision to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal -AAT and won! For me, Vanessa has proved to be a magician in getting me the visa for which I had been waiting for years. Since then, the team has helped some of our relatives with other visas including student visas, graduate visas and skilled migration visas.

We are looking forward for my brother’s, my sister and her family’s immigration process handled by Vanessa - a magician for us 😊

Vanessa Vazquez has been invaluable in helping my husband Rudi and I navigate Australia's immigration system. To this day we can not believe our luck in finding Vanessa as our solicitor. Vanessa's work enabled us to stay in Australia together throughout the residency application process. Vanessa, is incredibly passionate, honest, considerate and reliable. Her work with us spanned a timeline of a little over two years. She is thoughtful and careful with the steps taken to ensure our case was successful. We like the fact that she is hands on; staying on top of every process and updating us at every stage to reduce our anxiety. Moreover, Vanessa went above and beyond when external interference may have jeopardised our case. Throughout this stressful period, she provided us with reassurance and guidance. It is clear this attention to detail was paramount to ensuring our residency status, particularly under the current volatile conditions of a global pandemic. We are amazed that you managed to fast track Rudi's application to permanent residency. We will always be so grateful to you. Sincerely Kerinne and Rudi

Vanessa is an amazing solicitor, she assisted me with my partner visa application that was not straight forward one as my situation was very complicated and previous migration agents had told me it was not possible to apply, but thanks to Vanessa and how knowledgeable she is we applied with the evidence she suggested; I got my partner visa approved, got my permanent residency after that and now will be celebrating my Citizenship ceremony in a couple of days! Michael and Vanessa also assisted my husband and I with the purchase of a block of land, helped review the contract and the conveyancing. We are beyond great ful with their services.

Whiteley Ironside and Shillington were professional, efficient and very knowledgeable.

I highly recommend Michael Evans. His advice on our building dispute was clear and accurate. With Michael, we quickly resolved defective workmanship against a subcontractor.

I was stuck in a residential tenancy dispute and Michael Evans advised me on my rights which helped me get my name off the shared lease after giving notice to move out over six months prior

Good service from friendly staff - recommend

They are amazing! Vanessa has helped me so much with all my visa work! I could not have done this alone. Definitely the best! Great advice and communication throughout. I cannot recommend Vanessa enough.

My husband and I used Whiteley Ironside & Shillington Migration Services for our recent application for an Australian Partner Visa. Vanessa and the team supported us through the application process and I cannot fault the service. They were extremely helpful from start to finish and made what could have been a very difficult/confusing process simple and easy! And stage 1 of the visa was approved much quicker than we anticipated. Highly recommended!

I know it's your job, but it's my life- and I feel you went above and beyond, and I just want to express my appreciation. You made me feel confident and took away my worries, also helped explain each stage of the process. You are very professional but easy going in day-to-day emails.
