Pari’s journey is a powerful reminder that resilience, courage, and the right guidance can turn even the toughest migration setbacks into triumphs. After transitioning from a temporary 457 visa to applying for a 187 permanent residency visa, Pari received the heartbreaking news: his application was refused.
Imagine pouring your heart into your work, building a life for your family, and then facing a devastating visa refusal. That’s the moment where many give up. But Pari? He chose to fight.
His entire future in Australia—his career at Covai Cafe, the safety of his wife Manjula and their son Sai—hinged on one final battle at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
đź’Ş When Everything Was on the Line, Trust Made the Difference
Pari turned to Registered Migration Agents Margie Dizon (MARN 0639396) and Cecilia Dela Vega (MARN 0964227) of Migration Corporation of Australia. His message was clear: “Stay strong and let’s fight this.” Their mission? To make the impossible, possible.
Pari and Manjula’s unwavering commitment became the backbone of this success. They followed every instruction—gathering evidence, preparing for the hearing, and never losing sight of their goal. The reward? Permanent residency in Australia and a future secured for their son.
👨‍🍳 From Cook to Head Chef—A Career and Life Transformed
The Tribunal victory didn’t just grant a visa—it validated a dream. Pari began as a Cook at Covai Cafe and now leads the entire kitchen as Head Chef. Manjula, a highly educated professional with a Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, has also built a meaningful life in Australia. Together, they now thrive as permanent residents, raising Sai in the country they fought to call home.
💬 Pari’s Words That Inspire
“I believed what Margie said from Day 1—that we could win this case at the Tribunal. Every time I called or wrote to their office, they gave me words that motivated and comforted me and my wife. They treated me like family. I never looked or googled any other agent in the territory. We had only one choice—the same trusted team the Head Chef of Hanuman Restaurant used for his visas. I’m here because of the strength they gave me when all I wanted to do was give up.”
🌟 Migration Is More Than Paperwork—It’s About People 
This is the power of choosing the right partner. It’s not just about forms and deadlines—it’s about family-like support, strategic expertise, and unshakable belief in your future.
After eight long years of waiting, he was finally speechless—with joy. “No words to say,” he said, overwhelmed. From the very beginning, he believed in the promise: “Everything is possible in our way—it’s just a matter of time.” Through three years of setbacks, emails, questions, and moments of doubt, he held onto Margie’s words: “Stay strong…I know we can win this, we are almost there.” And when the hearing date finally came, hope returned. Even when he felt like a burden, he was met with kindness and patience. “You never got angry, always replied in a good way,” he said gratefully. “Yeah, you guys all treat us as your family members… You never treated us like clients. You treated us like one of your own.” Now, with permanent residency in hand, he’s dreaming again—of telling his wife, of recording a video, of celebrating the plan that worked. “Australia is my favourite country,” he smiled, remembering how he once dreamed of playing for the cricket team. “That dream changed… but now I’m proud. I’m so happy.”
