What People Are Saying
They are very experienced, reliable and helpful and provide good guidance.I strongly recommend their service to anyone who is looking for an immigration agent. They are the best.👍
I highly recommend Dagama Pereira Associates. After multiple failed attempts and an exhausting search for clarity and guidance regarding visa application questions, I was finally provided with the answers I needed thanks to Valerie.
Valerie is very good at what she does and I enjoyed working with her. She was kind, professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond, and hard working. If I didn't seek Valerie's help I would not have known I had made a mistake on my previously lodged visa application. It could have cost me my entire trip! Luckily, with Valerie's expertise and help I was able to get things corrected just in time for my trip. I am so grateful for her time and dedication in helping me fulfill my lifelong dream of visiting Australia.
Very helpful and detail oriented. Make themselves available whenever you need.
Valerie knows immigration and she is astute at navigating through the steps and conversations necessary to get the job done. Her years of experience and specific relationships within the systems of international travel are unmatched in my opinion. Valerie went beyond my expectations as a professional and was excellent and timely with regards to communicating to all parties involved. I was truly fortunate to have found her and would recommend her highly to anyone needing the inside track with representation to Australian Immigration Law.
I thank God that He helped me finding these people in my difficult time. Valerie and her team is very competent, professional and genuine. Thorough yet concise while being extremely knowledgeable, they know what to do and how to do in the best possible way.
Highly recommended if you are in trouble!
Grateful to Valerie, Glenn and Melanie. God bless you all!.
