Whiteley Ironside & Shillington - Orange, New South Wales

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 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!

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!

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. She has helped friends in complicated situations including another visa refusal, finding another way for him and his new wife to live Australia.
We are looking forward for my brother’s, my sister and her family’s immigration process handled by Vanessa - a magician for us ?

Vanessa and the whole team at Whiteley Ironside have been essential for helping my husband and I start our lives in Australia. Demonstrating both exceptional professionalism and compassion, Vanessa and Danielle guided and supported us through our challenging permanent residency and citizenship applications. Additionally, her team helped us establish our wills and power of attorneys. We are also grateful to Sue and Michael for their conveyancing services in the purchase of our first home and their prompt and patient replies to our many questions! We would not hesitate to recommend Whiteley Ironside for any legal needs.
