Y-Axis / Client case studies
Real files, with the stage each one has actually reached.
Most migration case studies only appear once they end well. These are published while they are still running, so you can see where each application really stands, what it scored, what it cost and what went slowly. Every case names the occupation, the visa subclass and the dates, so you can judge whether it resembles your own situation.
What you will not find here. No success rates, no approval percentages and no promise of an outcome. Every decision on every application rests with the relevant government authority and its officers. These pages exist to show how the process runs, not to suggest a result.

His occupation was never eligible for the independent visa. Victoria invited him anyway.

Case studies are published only where the client has given written consent and the documents can be verified. Canada, the UK and Germany files are in preparation.
How to read these
What the six stages mean
Every case study carries the same tracker, so you can compare files at a glance and see how far each one has travelled. A high stage number is not a better story. It usually just means the file opened earlier.
Points and eligibility worked out from evidence, and the occupation checked against the relevant occupation list.
The assessing authority has returned an outcome on qualifications and work experience.
An expression of interest or equivalent profile is live and waiting. This stage has no published waiting time.
An invitation or nomination has been issued. It is permission to apply, not a decision on the application.
The application is filed and with a case officer. Claims are assessed at this stage, not before.
The authority has decided. A file reaches this stage whatever the decision was.
The standard these are held to
How a case study gets published
Every published file carries
- Written consent from the client for the name, the details and any document image.
- The occupation and visa subclass named exactly, not described loosely.
- Dates and figures checked against the government source, with the date they were checked.
- The stage the application has actually reached, including when it is undecided.
- A named reviewer and a last reviewed date.
- A section on where the case would not transfer to someone else.
What is never published
- Success rates, approval percentages or any promise about an outcome.
- Client documents that have not been redacted of names and identifiers.
- Invented details, composite people presented as one client, or stock quotes.
- A points score or fee without the date it applied from.
- Any claim about registration or licensing that Y-Axis does not hold.
Skilled migration files take a long time. A case published at stage 5 may sit there for a year before it moves. Publishing at that point is more useful than waiting, because the part most readers need help with, the preparation, is already finished and documented. Each page is updated when the file moves, and the reviewed date changes with it.
Your own file
The first step in every case here was the same
Each of these started with someone finding out what their profile was actually worth, before spending money on a skills assessment or an English test. Y-Axis Overseas Careers has counselled more than 10 Lakh people over 25 plus years. An assessment tells you which visa subclasses your occupation can reach, what your points come to today, and which factor is worth fixing first. It does not tell you that you will get a visa, because nobody can.
