Behind every visa approval is a dream fulfilled. Today, we’re excited to share one of our client’s inspiring journeys for the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187) visa, a medical doctor and also a loving father, and how Synergy Migration helped turn it into reality.
Our Client's Background
Our client is a medical doctor from the Philippines and he had been working as a doctor in Adelaide, South Australia, on a 457 visa for eight years. His eldest son, now 11, is autistic. Because of this, their previous two 457 visa applications had been refused, and only approved after going through lengthy appeal processes.

Therefore, when his 457 visa was nearing expiry, he was quite hesitative. He was worried that the same health issues would cause another refusal, and that he and his family would have to leave Australia.
He was referred to us, Synergy Migration, through a friend. Although we lived in different cities and had never met in person, after several conversations, we encouraged him to seize this opportunity. In March 2016, we lodged his 187 visa application. The nomination was approved quickly, but then came the health waiver request because his dependent family member did not meet health requirements.
How Synergy Migration supported him
Understanding the complexity of this case, we prepared and submitted two detailed statement search over 30 pages long, presenting arguments from multiple perspectives and engaging with the case officer at every step. Meanwhile, because of the client’s medical contributions to the local community, as his representatives, we were even approached twice by the South Australian Times for follow-up interviews.
And eventually, after 15 long months of effort, today the whole family was granted permanent residency. On the phone, the client broke down in tears of joy. We were too deeply moved, and felt proud of our profession. Helping people achieve their dreams and transform their lives is what motivates us to keep going
Moments like this remind us why we do what we do, helping families turn years of effort into a lifetime of opportunities.
Let our team guide you on the right pathway and your success story could be next!
