I was referred to Mr. Murali by one of my friends and his service was phenomenal. I had to apply for a spouse visa and I took Murali's service in 2019. Though there was a delay of over 3 years from my end to share the documents due to other commitments I had, he did honor the agreement and helped us get the visa in under 3 months once the documents were shared. I highly recommend Mr. Murali for any immigration services if you are looking for someone who is straightforward and keep his words.

Thank you Mr. Murali Mangalath for helping us through this process. We are happy to say that we have successfully gained our residence status here in Australia . It was very easy to work with your office in cochin and Melbourne as well. Answering all of our questions with simplified answers to help us understand what exactly we needed to do in our documents. To my understanding, the application was processed bit longer than I expected due to the pandemic situation but you’ve put extra effort to get rid of all worries and concerns we had. Thank you for being patient with us. The personalised services made us feel special and cared about. All of the paperwork was in perfect order, complete and explanation for each.

I am Srinivasan. I received SA 491 grant recently. I was referred to Mr. Murali by my friend and former colleague Mr. Karthik.I have lived in USA for 10+ years and was very skeptical about migrating to Australia initially considering my age. Immigrating to Australia is a complex process.My first communication with Mr. Murali got me convinced that I have found the right contact to address my immigration concerns. He guided me on the correct visa that i need to apply for. He also provided me a contact who would help me with the correct guidance to crack PTE to get maximum points from it.I also would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Murali for being very patient in answering my questions (sometimes silly and basic) and always reassured me that everything will be fine throughout the whole journey. During the course of the journey i was getting into an uncertain mode whether i would get the grant or not, and Mr. Murali again assured me that the grants will flow out soon. Their charges for the services were also nominal.Mr. Murali was very practical in his answers with me which always kept me afloat through the entire process when my thoughts about the grant happening were fading away and i was almost ready to forget about it. In short, Mr. Murali was "the" man for me during crisis.I will definitely recommend Mr. Murali and Mangalath Immigration Services India and Mangalath Immigration Australia for a transparent, smooth and assured process for anyone desiring to get an Australian visa.Again Thank you Mr. Murali for the services, guidance and patience for keeping my mind at ease
