Who you are dealing with
Keshab Chapagain is a Registered Migration Agent (MARN 1576536), registered with OMARA since 2015 — verify on the register. He is the sole agent at WIDEN, which trades under Dynamic Consultancy Pty Ltd (ABN 19 167 039 250) from Office 6, 2-16 Anglo Road, Campsie NSW 2194. There is no junior handling your file: the person you consult prepares and lodges the matter. He also writes and delivers OMARA-approved CPD on 482 nomination preparation for other registered agents, and prepares nomination documentation for fellow agents on a white-label basis — this is the practice's core work.
What we do for employers
- Standard Business Sponsorship (and accreditation where eligible) — how it works.
- Subclass 482 Skills in Demand nominations — Core Skills, Specialist Skills and Labour Agreement streams: the Genuine Position Statement, Annual Market Salary Rate evidence against the current CSIT, and compliant Labour Market Testing — see the nomination checklist.
- Subclass 186 Direct Entry and Temporary Residence Transition — the 482 → 186 pathway.
- Subclass 494 regional sponsorship, and DAMA / industry labour agreements including aged care, hospitality and healthcare.
- Subclass 407 training visas — nominations and training plans.
- Nomination refusals — review rights and ART, and pre-lodgement audits to avoid them.
What we do for sponsored workers
The visa side of the same matters — 482, 186 and 494 visa applications, skills assessments and English evidence, and the move from a temporary sponsored visa to permanent residence. Workers who don't yet have a sponsor can use SponsorTalent, our directory of approved sponsors and sponsored jobs, and come back once an employer is in place. Visa refusals are handled at the ART.
Fees
- Initial consultation: $220 inc. GST, 30 minutes via Zoom, tax invoice with MARN. The OMARA Consumer Guide is provided beforehand.
- Ongoing work: fixed fees stated in a written service agreement before anything starts. Fixed-fee document services are priced on their pages — 482 nomination pack, Genuine Position Statement, AMSR report, 407 training plan.
- Government charges are separate and paid to the Department: Standard Business Sponsorship $420, nomination $330, the Skilling Australians Fund levy ($1,200 or $1,800 per year of a 482 nomination; $3,000 or $5,000 for a 186/494, by business turnover) and the visa application charge.
How engagement works
- Book the consultation (or send the free assessment form below for a written first read).
- In the session: the pathway, its risks, the documents, the timeline against current processing times, and a fee quote.
- If you proceed: written service agreement, then the work — prepared and lodged by the agent, with you reviewing every document before it goes in.
Advice isn't given by email, social media or unpaid channels — not as a sales tactic, but because migration advice has to rest on the full circumstances and be documented to the professional standard.
