Our Immigration Team - AIA

GRIA’s trusted in-house migration experts. Empowering global dreams with local precision.

Why Our Team Matters

In today’s global workforce, immigration isn’t just paperwork — it’s people work. Every visa represents a life in motion, a career taking flight, a family building a future in Australia.

That’s why GRIA doesn’t outsource immigration. We’ve built it into our DNA.

The Australian Immigration Agency (AIA) is GRIA’s in-house migration division — a team of experienced, registered migration agents who make the visa process not only possible, but personal. Whether you’re an employer navigating sponsorship compliance or a skilled candidate hoping to start anew, our team walks the journey with you.

Because visas don’t move themselves. People do. And we move people.

Our Team’s Credentials Led by Ruby Fowdar

When it comes to migration, credentials are everything. You’re not just trusting someone with paperwork — you’re trusting them with your future. That’s why AIA is built around qualified, registered professionals who are accountable to Australian law and to you.

Why AIA is Different

Migration done right isn’t just about the law — it’s about lives.
That’s the AIA difference. We’re not a call centre or an overseas consultant. We’re local, licensed, and fully accountable.

Here’s how we work:

• Tailored Advice: No off-the-shelf templates. Just smart, human, ethical solutions.
• Fast Lodgements: Meticulous processes that avoid delay and maximise approval.
• All-In-One Service: We handle everything, so you don’t have to juggle agents, agencies, or departments.
• Transparent Fees: Upfront quotes, clear deliverables, and no nasty surprises.

Our success rate is high because we only take on cases we believe in. When we say “yes,” it means something.

Whether you’re a business expanding your workforce or a skilled worker chasing your next chapter, AIA will never let immigration be your bottleneck.

We’ll champion your case.
We’ll keep you informed.
And we’ll walk with you — from first assessment to final approval.
