MyVisa: Nilesh Nandan Attorney at Law

Head of Practice, MyVisa® Lawyers
I’m Nilesh Nandan, a leading immigration lawyer in Australia and the Head of Practice at MyVisa® Lawyers. With over two decades of experience, I have helped thousands of individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex Australian immigration system.
My passion for immigration law is deeply personal. In 1976, my family and I migrated to Australia by boat, shortly after the abolition of the White Australia Policy. That journey—filled with uncertainty, challenges, and the determination to build a new life—shaped my commitment to helping others achieve their own Australian immigration goals.
If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer in Australia who understands both the legal and human sides of migration, you’re in the right place.
My journey into law began in Brisbane, Australia, where I attended Brisbane Grammar School before pursuing a career in law and business.
I hold:
✅ Bachelor of Business (Accounting) & Bachelor of Laws (LLB) – Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
✅ Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP)
✅ Master of Business Administration (MBA – International Business)
Since being admitted as a lawyer in 1993, I have dedicated my career to immigration law in Australia. My expertise in business, accounting, and law allows me to handle both individual and corporate migration cases with precision.
In 1999, I founded MyVisa®, an immigration law firm dedicated to helping visa applicants and sponsors with visa applications, refusals, cancellations, and appeals.
My first office? A bench in a shared cubicle above a chicken shop in Brisbane. But my focus was never on fancy offices—it was on delivering clear, practical, and results-driven immigration advice.
Today, MyVisa® has grown into a national firm, with offices in:
✅ Sydney
✅ Melbourne
✅ Brisbane
✅ Perth
We assist clients across Australia and globally, offering in-person and virtual consultations to provide legal representation no matter where you are.
If you need an immigration lawyer in Australia, we can discuss your case via phone, video call, or face-to-face meetings.
As a highly experienced immigration lawyer in Australia, I provide strategic legal advice and representation for:
✅ Visa Applications – Partner visas, skilled migration, business visas, work visas, employer-sponsored visas, and more.
✅ Visa Refusals & Appeals – Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), Ministerial Intervention, and Federal Court challenges.
✅ Visa Cancellations & Character Issues – Representing clients with Section 501 cancellations, visa breaches, and Schedule 3 issues.
✅ Employer-Sponsored Migration – Helping businesses sponsor skilled workers legally and efficiently.
✅ Australian Citizenship – Advice on citizenship applications, residence requirements, and dual citizenship matters.
I work closely with top immigration barristers in Australia, ensuring my clients get the highest level of legal support.

In addition to running MyVisa®, I actively contribute to the development of immigration law in Australia through my role on:
