Some members of the SIV Practice Group are lawyers
who also practice in our Corporate & Commercial legal
team. Our experience has proven that this has helped our

holding structure) which are generally beyond the
knowledge of a registered migration agent or a lawyer
who only practices immigration law.
我们的重大投资人签证事务组的某些成员还同时从事公司法
和商业法的工作。我们的经验是这种团队组成为我们目前的
重大投资人签证客户尽早识别各种法律问题（如投资的持有
架构）提供了很多帮助，移民代理或者是仅在移民法领域执
业的律师一般是不掌握这些知识的。
In long run, this has proven to save cost for the client

beneficial to the visa applicant to a great extend.
Therefore DIBP expects a clear trail of ownership of the

要是有利的。鉴于此，移民部要求申请人提供清晰的资产所
有权路和资产转移的路径。
