Nanak Migration Group is a registered migration agency operating under 1313 Success Group Pty Ltd with MARN 2619467. It assists skilled workers, students, partners, and families with Australian visas including employer-sponsored 482 and 186 visas, skilled migration subclasses 189, 190, and 491, student visas 500, and partner/family visas 820/801, 309/100, and 300. The firm also handles bridging visas, citizenship applications, and visa refusal or ART reviews, with offices in Truganina, Geelong, Cranbourne, Canning Vale, and Craigieburn.

The practice provides regulated migration advice in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Nepali. Founder Navpreet Aulakh is registered with OMARA and holds MARN 2619467, ensuring compliance with the Code of Conduct for Registered Migration Agents.

Clients start by sending their circumstances, including current visa status and goals, to receive a reply within one business day. Within two days, a registered migration agent assesses the position and evidence to provide a written assessment of open pathways. By day five, the agent delivers the honest answer regarding clear risks, viable options, and next steps.

If an engagement ends before completion, refunds are calculated by reference to five specific stages: engagement and assessment (20%), preparation (25%), drafting (30%), lodgement (15%), and post-lodgement management. The firm itemises these separately in the service agreement so clients can see what is their professional fee versus passed-on government or third-party charges.

Clients have a cooling-off period of 7 calendar days from signing the service agreement. If the application has not yet been lodged and no Department of Home Affairs charges or third-party costs have been paid, the professional fee is refunded in full during this window.

The Craigieburn office is located at 21 Ravenwoods Way, Craigieburn VIC 3064, while other offices operate in Truganina, Geelong, Cranbourne, and Canning Vale. Standard business hours are Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 17:30, with Saturday and Sunday closed.

The firm offers specialized guides for visa refusals, ART merits review, and complex cases to protect clients' right to remain. This includes handling employer compliance issues and preparing applications for those with difficult migration histories.

Third-party costs such as skills assessing bodies, panel physicians, translators, and police authorities are refundable only if the firm still holds the money and it has not yet been paid on. These are distinct from the non-refundable Department of Home Affairs charges once an application is lodged.

Founder Navpreet Aulakh arrived as an international student, built a career as a senior accountant, completed a graduate diploma in migration law, and trained under a highly reputed migration lawyer. This background combines accountant's precision with lawyer-trained case strategy for preparing applications.

The preliminary assessment is a quick, non-binding step where the agent asks a few questions to point clients to helpful pages. It covers goals like work and career, study, joining family, starting a business, or visiting, and identifies starting points such as skills, employer sponsorship, or student visas.

The agency offers a no-charge employer readiness discussion for staff sponsoring via the 482 and 186 visa pathways. This covers topics like standard business sponsorship, nomination requirements, and compliance obligations.

The firm provides guides covering the points test, skills assessments, and state nomination requirements for subclasses 189, 190, and 491. These resources help skilled workers understand the criteria for permanent residence.

The firm offers four guides specifically for the subclass 500 student visa, detailing the pathway from study to permanent residence. This includes information on how to transition from a student visa to other visa categories.
