Background

This achievement highlights the dedication of our client and the expert guidance provided by Yuwen (Tony) Huang, an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law and Special Counsel at Kris Ahn Lawyers.
The client’s journey began under the Subclass 188A Business Innovation stream, which was granted during the challenging pandemic period in 2020.

Upon entering Australia, the client began managing their business with diligence and strategic planning, supported by our legal team. Their efforts and compliance with visa requirements have culminated in the successful grant of the 888A visa, securing permanent residency for the entire family.
