"Kathryn and her team where so professional when dealing with my visa journey. I had been given wrong information by another lawyer and Kathryn gave me reassurance from day one. Kathryn was able to provide a positive outcome of my case after a very long visa journey. I would strongly recommend Kathryn's services."

-Ruth Kennedy, Sydney

"Kathryn was easy to deal with from the moment we first contacted her. She dealt with our matter efficiently and explained the legislation and the processes clearly. Her expertise meant that she was able to advise on any possible problems and to suggest the best solutions to avoid these. This resulted in a swift and positive result. We were delighted with the service we received from Kathryn and her team and we have no hesitation in recommending them."

-Maria Shaw

Kathryn Viegas is a Director of Nomos Legal, a law firm specialising in the provision of Australian immigration law advice, advisory services and educational programmes. She has practised immigration law for almost 20 years. She represents a wide range of clients, including not-for-profit organisations, businesses and individuals. She regularly provides specialist advice to applicants with complex immigration needs, including applicants who have medical conditions or have allegedly committed fraud, those seeking review of a decision or Ministerial intervention, visa-holders facing visa cancellation and businesses with compliance issues. 

Kathryn graduated with degrees in Psychology and Law from The University of New South Wales. She completed her Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice at the Australian National University and was admitted to practice in 2003. She has been a registered migration agent since 2003.

Kathryn has worked at the HIV/AIDS Legal Centre and various boutique immigration law firms in Sydney. Before co-founding Nomos, Kathryn ran her own immigration law firm for eight years which specialised in handling complex migration matters.  Since 2007, Kathryn has been involved in continuing legal education through her preparation and presentation of CPD programs for Nomos, the College of Law, the Law Society of NSW, the Immigration Advice & Rights Centre and other organisations. She currently is a lecturer at Victoria University, where she teaches the Graduate Diploma in Migration Law.
