FAQ

Immigration is a big step, and we’re here to make it simple.

What happens after I pay?

You immediately get access to the Drift platform. We’ll guide you through sharing your situation and documents, then match you with a lawyer and case manager. Your file gets prepped before your session so you don’t waste time.

What if I’m not sure which visa or permit I need?

That’s exactly what the legal assessment is for. Just tell us what you’re trying to do (e.g. work, stay with a partner, switch permits), and the lawyer will advise what applies to your case.

Is this enough to apply for my permit?

You’ll walk away with legal clarity and a personalised action plan. If you’re confident to apply on your own, go ahead. If your case needs legal support, you can choose to upgrade to full lawyer representation.

What if I have a really complex situation?

No problem — we’ll flag this early. If your case involves complications (e.g. past rejections, overstays, legal risk), your lawyer will explain what’s needed and how to proceed.
