At first, it seemed like the door to Mr. L.’s dream of immigrating to Australia through the 132A visa was closed. But with determination and the right support, he achieved it successfully.
The Challenge
Mr. L. applied for the 132A visa, a pathway designed for talented entrepreneurs seeking permanent residency in Australia. However, he faced a major issue: he couldn’t provide sufficient evidence of his business ownership, as required by the program. Even though he tried to gather documentation, time was running out as the 132A program was set to stop accepting new applications soon.
Despite these challenges, with collaborative efforts and persistent problem-solving, Mr. N.H.H.L was eventually granted the 132A visa, a proud moment for both Mr. L. and SI Group.

Ownership Proof Issues
Mr. N.H.H.L owns a milk production and distribution company. After reviewing the benefits of various immigration programs, he felt the 132A visa was a good fit for his investment goals. However, he encountered a significant problem: even though he owned 30% of the business, he didn’t have the necessary documentation to prove it.
Because of the nature of the family business, Mr. L. had entrusted the ownership of shares to a relative. Unfortunately, this arrangement was not officially documented, as it had been a verbal agreement. This posed a significant challenge to his 132A visa application.
SI Group’s Customized Legal Solution
While other service providers declined to assist due to the long timeline required, especially with the program’s impending closure, SI Group took on the challenge. Instead of following standard procedures, SI Group personalized the process for Mr. L. by recommending a civil lawsuit to legally confirm his ownership of the company.
Though this was a difficult step, given the weak evidence, SI Group worked with Mr. L. to find a solution. They helped him through the court process to initiate the legal claim to his business ownership.
The court, after processing the claim, conducted mediation and verified Mr. L. ‘s information. As a result, Mr. L. was legally recognized as a legitimate business owner—providing crucial evidence for the 132A visa application.
The Successful Outcome
While waiting for the court’s decision, SI Group assisted Mr. L. with gathering the other necessary documents for the visa application. Once the court confirmed his business ownership, SI Group quickly included this in his visa application, just in time before the program stopped accepting new submissions.
Thanks to the cooperation between Mr. L. and SI Group, and the persistence in overcoming the obstacles, Mr. L. was granted his 132A visa in under two years—much faster than anticipated. This successful result has opened up exciting new opportunities for Mr. L. and his family to start their new life in Australia.
