Australian Immigration Daily News

Migration Alliance has been contacted by a number of concerned Adelaide residents following the release yesterday of our updates on Abel Kalpinand Prasad.  We were then provided details of an RMA who worked with Abel and contacted him for his recollections.  Our contact is an RMA who is based in Adelaide and had the unfortunate experience of having come across Abel Kalpinand Prasad.  

Background

Our contact in Adelaide is a migration agent and reports that in 2011-2012 Abel Prasad (Abel) would advertise for and then have "many Chinese clients turn up to the office" and that Abel appeared to be running a pyramid scheme and that Abel would arrange for agents and referrers to bring people to him.   

Migration Alliance has been provided with the following witness statement by Hanhong Chen (aka Ashley) and given permission to release the information and police statement in an effort to encourage others to seek justice:

"I came to know the Abel Prasad man since early March 2014, and this man came to the 375 Crown St Newsagency to approach me and claim that  he can do various visas with 100% successful rate such as subclass 572/573/574/457/186/187/188 visas at low cost, and he claimed to own a law firm named SYD VENTURE CAPITAL PTY LTD. Later I visited his office and came into knowledge of his associate staffs such as XXXXXXX and YYYYYY [real names removed for privacy reasons].

In terms of finances, British migrants moving from the UK to Australia can now benefit from the best exchange rates on GBP/AUD since 2009.

Towards the end of last week The Pound edged just over $2, or the from an Australian point of view the Dollar dropped to 0.4990.

The main reason for this being the release of Australian unemployment data which was announced yesterday and against predictions hit 6.2% - which is a 12 year high.
