Once you have checked the MARA website to ensure an agent is registered and preferably, a member of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA), you may wish to consider which of the following attributes are important to you:

• Period of experience as a Registered Migration Agent. This can be seen from the first 2 digits of the Migration Agent Registration Number (MARN). For example, MARN 9252713 indicates the agent was first registered in 1992, the year the current system commenced,
• Experience across all visa options,
• Long agency's history with a proven track record,
• Ability to provide clear, honest and timely answers to your questions,
• Provision of regular status updates at each stage,
• Fast and accurate work,
• Uncompromising commitment to confidentiality.

If these are your priorities, then you are in good company as Southern Cross Alliance has been the natural choice for thousands of successful clients since 1989.
