Matias and Serena's story began in Argentina and led them to Australia, where they chose courage, love, and a future built together. They met, fell in love, and made a choice as a couple: to build a life with freedom and security in Australia. For Matias and Serena, it all started with one choice, and that choice opened the door to a permanent future. When they were ready to make Australia their permanent home, they turned to Questra for the Subclass 186 Permanent Residence visa.

What We Needed to Happen

Choosing to build a life in a new country is never a small decision. For Matias and Serena, it meant leaving Argentina behind and committing to a future in Australia together, with all the uncertainty that comes with starting over.

The path to permanent residency was the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme, one of the most demanding visa categories in the Australian system. It requires the right employer sponsorship, a qualifying occupation, a skills assessment, and a detailed body of supporting evidence presented exactly as the Department of Home Affairs requires.

They needed a clear strategy and a team who could guide them through the final and most important stage of their journey to stability and independence in Australia.

We worked closely with Matias and Serena to map out their pathway to permanent residency through the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme.

Starting with a full eligibility assessment, we confirmed the 186 was the right fit and built a strategy that aligned their employment, skills, and supporting evidence with the requirements of the scheme. From there, we managed the end-to-end application: preparing nomination and visa documents, coordinating with their sponsoring employer, and ensuring every form and piece of evidence was complete and correctly presented.

Throughout the process, we kept them informed at every stage so they always knew where they stood and what came next.

Matias and Serena’s Subclass 186 Permanent Residence visa was approved. They can now call Australia their permanent home.

They have the stability and independence they set out to find: the right to live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely, access to Medicare, and a clear path to citizenship in the years ahead. The choice they made together has opened the door to a life with freedom and security.

For Matias and Serena, permanent residency isn’t just a visa. It’s a new beginning.

“Permanent residency isn't just a visa, it's a new beginning. It all started with one choice, and today that choice opened the door to a future in Australia.”
