Partnered with a multinational information technology company to transfer approximately 30 U.S. and Canadian employees to assist with a high profile store opening in the Sydney Central Business District (“CBD”). The visa procurement process was complex and the working timeframe extremely tight, but Alana was able to achieve the desired result for the business within one to two weeks.  

Partnered with a multinational IT and software development outsourcing company to update and improve their Australian employer sponsored permanent residence program. This included customized permanent residence assessment checklists for employees, development of precedent company files (with diarized reminders to request updated information at 12-month intervals), and preparation of FAQ documents to reduce the number of common questions from employees.  

Worked with Fragomen’s internal teams to assist with procurement of an entertainment visa for a high profile celebrity and her support staff. Very little time was provided to prepare a sponsorship application for the business, and two Australian entertainment visas, which would normally take three to four months to finalize. High-level, priority service was provided which led to approval of all applications in less than one month.
