People do migration most of the time. Many people do the migration so that they could have better opportunities related to the job or the education. Some people do the migration so that they could change their lifestyle and could move to a place which is good for themselves and their family. No matter whatever your reason for migration is the application of visa is not the easy job especially for some countries it is very daunting and costly experience. For some countries it is not much difficult to have a visa but some countries have very strict rules and laws and it is not easy to get a visa for these. In such cases, it is not possible for you to alone to get a visa therefore, you need to hire an immigration lawyer, a migration agent or a visa appeal lawyer. But the question comes that who should you hire among these and what advantages does each of these provide over the other. 

The immigration agent in Melbourne is someone who has just a 12- or 6-month degree and a certification from the house of migration authorities. Thereby the tasks that he can do for you is limited and as well as his knowledge and experience is limited. A immigration lawyer who is much more experienced and much more qualified can do a lot more tasks then an migration agent but still in some cases it is better to hire the migration agent.

The migration agent however is less knowledge therefore it is highly likely that he will be unaware of many implications and updates in laws. Therefore, he will not be able to provide his assistance in such matters of which he has no idea and the client may get stuck in these matters. Not only this the job title of the migration agent prohibits him from gaining knowledge about certain things and therefore he cannot provide his advice on these. Sometimes the migration procedure also require consideration about the family background and present. These may include the family income information and family employments and commercial law information. In some cases the migration procedure may also require the family to show his criminal law history to see if the family is cleared of any criminal offense or not. Such matters can only be handled by a lawyer, and if a migration agent gets in these matters then the state will not accept it.
