Matthias s.

I was asking for a permanent retirement visa for Australia. On initial call Ms. Clara Miller told me – after she got my details – the chances for me would be very good and UIS would certainly find the correct visa out of 60 visa-options. Stupid me payed 990 US$ and I was transferred to Mr. Daniel Kennedy who collected more details for an 'evaluation'. On the phone he assured me that my chances to get the desired visa would be 97%. In the e-mail correspondence he corrected it to 97% in general.
I became suspicious as my Questions have not been answered. I am 60 years old, since 4 years retired and was asking for a permanent visa. Instead I was offered a student visa for a temporary stay. What a joke. I felt betrayed and requested my money back. UIS offered to pay 200 US$ back which I refused. There is much better service for around 50 Euro available from MARA-Agents in Germany or anywhere in the world and the info for my case could be given within a minute.
Now I am complaining with MARA, the official immigration service: mara.gov.au
It looks that UIS was at least in my case a total scam.
