AustraliaMigrate Examines Skilled Migration Points Test Reform

CHATSWOOD, NSW - July 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
AustraliaMigrate, a registered migration agency established in 2000, has published an examination of the Australian Government's planned reform of the skilled migration points test. The reform was confirmed in the 2026–27 Federal Budget, with consultation opening in June 2026 and draft legislation expected by December 2026.
The points test determines which applicants receive invitations for the Skilled Independent (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visas. The Government has stated that the redesigned test will give greater weight to younger, highly educated and higher-skilled applicants, following recommendations from the 2023 Migration Strategy and subsequent Treasury and Home Affairs reviews.

According to the AustraliaMigrate examination, the areas under review include age scoring, the weighting of educational qualifications, English language bands, partner points, regional study credits and the 65-point minimum threshold. The examination notes that work experience claims are also expected to face closer scrutiny, with points likely to be limited to experience gained after an applicant became formally qualified in their nominated occupation.
"This is the most substantial redesign of the points test in more than a decade, and it will produce winners and losers," said Ian Singer, Director and Principal Registered Migration Agent at AustraliaMigrate. "Applicants who score well today on partner points, older age bands or overlapping study and work claims cannot assume those points will survive the redesign. The current test is a known quantity, and the next one is not."
The examination sets out practical steps for candidates who are already eligible. Applicants with a competitive score under the current test should complete their skills assessment, sit their English test and lodge an Expression of Interest in SkillSelect without waiting for the new structure. Those below the current invitation scores should identify which proposed factors work in their favour, such as strong qualifications or superior English results, and prepare evidence in advance.
Mr Singer said the reform lands in an already tighter program. "The 2026–27 program holds 185,000 permanent places with around 55,000 reserved for offshore applicants, and net overseas migration is forecast to keep falling. A redesigned points test on top of a smaller offshore share means preparation quality will separate successful applicants from the rest. Candidates should treat the current program year as the window in which the rules are known."
The examination also addresses common misconceptions reported by the agency, including the belief that lodged applications will be reassessed under the new test. Australia Migrate advises that applications and invitations issued under the current test are assessed under the rules in force at the time, which is a further reason for eligible candidates to act during the consultation period rather than after implementation.
AustraliaMigrate has published guidance on points planning, skills assessment timing and state nomination strategy for each affected visa subclass on its website. The firm monitors Department of Home Affairs and Treasury announcements and updates its guidance as the consultation progresses.

Berenji Divorce & Family Law Group Marks 20 Year Anniversary Serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Families

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - July 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Berenji Divorce & Family Law Group, a Beverly Hills-based family law firm, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, marking two decades of providing legal representation in divorce, child custody, and complex family law matters throughout Los Angeles County.
Since its founding in 2004, the firm has evolved from a boutique practice into a multi-attorney firm with over 70 years of combined legal experience. The firm focuses exclusively on California family law, representing business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and entertainment industry professionals in high-net-worth divorce cases and sophisticated family law matters.
"Reaching this 20-year milestone represents far more than the passage of time-it reflects the trust that thousands of clients have placed in our firm during some of the most challenging transitions of their lives," said Hossein Berenji, founder and managing attorney of the firm. "We have built our practice on aggressive advocacy combined with strategic legal representation, particularly in high-asset cases involving complex property division, business valuations, and contested custody matters."
The firm has gained recognition for its work in high-net-worth divorce cases, handling matters involving substantial assets, multiple properties, business interests, stock options, and complex financial portfolios. The legal team represents clients in various family law matters including child custody disputes, child and spousal support negotiations, domestic violence cases, and the drafting and enforcement of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
Over the past two decades, the firm has received recognition from multiple legal organizations and attorney rating services, including Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, Lawyers of Distinction, and AVVO. Berenji has also contributed to the legal community through published commentary in the Daily Journal, participation in the Forbes Business Council, and educational presentations through the Beverly Hills Bar Association.
The firm has invested significantly in legal education and resources, publishing an extensive library of articles, guides, and educational materials covering various aspects of California family law. These resources address emerging issues affecting modern families, including evolving divorce trends, digital privacy concerns, the impact of artificial intelligence on family law proceedings, and changes in California legislation.
"Our growth from a small practice to one of Beverly Hills' respected family law firms has been driven by our commitment to providing exceptional representation while adapting to the changing needs of modern families," Berenji added. "As we look toward the future, we remain dedicated to investing in our team, expanding our capabilities, and continuing to serve Los Angeles families with the same level of dedication that has defined our practice for the past twenty years."

AustraliaMigrate Reviews 25 Per Cent Rise in Visa Application Fees

CHATSWOOD, NSW - July 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
AustraliaMigrate, a registered migration agency established in 2000, has released a review of the visa fee changes that took effect on 1 July 2026. The new fee schedule lifts many Australian visa application charges by around 25 per cent in a single adjustment, a marked departure from the two to five per cent indexation applied in previous years.
Under the new schedule, the base charge for a partner visa application has risen from $9,365 to $11,710. The main student visa charge has increased to $2,500, the Temporary Graduate visa charge has moved from $4,600 to $5,750, and the charge for the main permanent skilled visas has risen from $4,910 to $6,135. The standard visitor visa charge has increased from $200 to $250.

The Australia Migrate review notes that several categories have risen well beyond the standard adjustment. Charges for the Bridging Visa B, the Resident Return visa and the New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship visa have increased far more sharply, with some rising by 200 per cent or more.
"The cost of a refused or invalid application has never been higher, because visa application charges are not refunded when an application fails," said Ian Singer, Director and Principal Registered Migration Agent at Australia Migrate. "A couple lodging a partner visa is now committing $11,710 at lodgement. At that price, the application has to be right the first time."
The review sets out what the changes mean for each major applicant group. Families sponsoring a partner or parent face the largest dollar increases, students and graduates face higher upfront costs at each stage of their pathway, and employers nominating overseas workers will see higher combined program costs when application charges are added to the Skilling Australians Fund levy and the new $79,499 Core Skills Income Threshold.
Mr Singer said the July increase also carries a lesson about timing. "Application charges rise every July, and this year the Government showed it is willing to move well beyond indexation. People who are eligible for a visa today and wait another program year may face higher charges, tighter settings and a smaller program. Preparing a complete, decision-ready application now is the most reliable way to avoid paying twice."
The agency reports increased enquiries from applicants seeking to confirm which fee applies to their circumstances, particularly where an application was being prepared before 1 July 2026. Australia Migrate advises that the charge payable is the one in force on the date the application is lodged, not the date preparation began, and that applicants budgeting for a visa in 2026–27 should work from the new schedule.
AustraliaMigrate has published updated fee guidance across the partner, skilled, employer-sponsored, student and parent visa categories on its website, including the second visa application charge instalments that apply to some family visas. The firm provides fixed professional fee quotations so applicants can calculate the full cost of their pathway before lodgement.

Longboat Key Roofing Reviews Metal Roofing System Choices

SARASOTA, FL - July 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Longboat Key Roofing is reviewing metal roofing system choices as Gulf Coast homeowners compare standing seam panels, aluminum systems, metal shake designs, and exposed-fastener options before moving forward with roof replacement or installation projects.
The contractor said many homeowners begin the conversation by asking whether metal roofing is a good fit for their property. Those discussions often shift toward which type of system makes the most sense based on roof design, coastal exposure, appearance, maintenance expectations, and installation requirements.

“The question is not only whether metal roofing makes sense,” said James M. Peel, Vice President and Operations Manager at Longboat Key Roofing. “The more useful question is which type of metal roofing system fits the property, the exposure, the roof design, and the homeowner’s expectations.”
Established in 2017, Longboat Key Roofing serves residential and light commercial property owners throughout Sarasota and surrounding Gulf Coast communities. The company’s team has a combined 50 years of roofing experience, with much of that work involving coastal roof systems exposed to heat, humidity, wind-driven rain, salt air, and seasonal storm activity.
According to the company, standing seam metal roofing is often discussed when homeowners want a cleaner, more continuous panel appearance. These systems are commonly associated with modern coastal homes, new construction projects, and properties where the homeowner prefers a concealed-fastener look. The contractor said standing seam projects may also involve more detailed conversations about roof pitch, panel layout, flashing, valleys, penetrations, and transition areas.
Aluminum roofing may be part of the conversation for properties with heavier salt-air exposure or waterfront conditions. The company said material selection should be considered alongside the full roof assembly, including underlayment, trim, coatings, and installation details. While appearance matters, Peel said the surrounding environment can influence which option is more appropriate for a coastal property.
Metal shake and metal shingle systems are often considered when homeowners want the look of a more textured or traditional roof profile while still evaluating metal as the primary roofing material. The contractor said these systems may appeal to property owners who want a different visual style than standing seam panels, especially when the roof design, home exterior, and neighborhood appearance are part of the decision.
Exposed-fastener metal roofing can involve a different planning conversation because fasteners and washers remain visible parts of the roof assembly. The company said homeowners considering these systems may need to understand how fastener placement, panel movement, maintenance expectations, and future inspections factor into the decision.
Additional metal roofing information is available on the company’s website.
Peel said homeowners sometimes compare metal roofing options as if they are interchangeable, but each system can involve different installation details and long-term considerations. Roof shape, slope, access, existing roof condition, nearby trees, saltwater exposure, penetrations, valley design, and transition areas can all affect what should be reviewed before work begins.
“Metal roofing is not one single product,” Peel said. “Standing seam, aluminum, metal shake, and exposed-fastener systems can each solve different problems. The right conversation looks at the property first, then the system.”
The discussion follows the company’s recent article on roof replacement planning factors, which examined how scope and project details can affect replacement decisions. Longboat Key Roofing said metal roofing choices often fit into that broader planning process because the finished roof depends on more than panel style or color.
The contractor said homeowners reviewing metal options may also need to consider whether the project involves repair, full replacement, new construction, or underlayment replacement beneath an existing roof surface. In each situation, the recommended approach may depend on the condition of the roof deck, the layout of the structure, and how the selected system will connect with flashing, valleys, penetrations, and other roof sections.
The company said metal roofing system discussions are also common on properties where owners are comparing several materials before making a long-term decision. Tile, shingle, flat, and metal roofing each involve different planning considerations, and the contractor said metal may be evaluated differently depending on the home’s architecture, exposure, maintenance history, and desired appearance.
Peel said the company expects these conversations to remain important as homeowners compare roofing materials for Florida coastal properties.
“Homeowners usually want the roof to look right, but they also want to understand why one system is being recommended over another,” Peel said. “That clarity matters before materials are ordered, not after the project has already started.”

Thirty60 Lofts Showcases Historic New Orleans Luxury Apartments in Bywater Neighborhood

NEW ORLEANS, LA - July 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Thirty60 Lofts, a residential rental company in the Bywater neighborhood, highlights its collection of one and two-bedroom apartments that blend historic preservation with modern amenities in a 1908 building that once served as the Kirschman's Furniture showroom.
The apartments feature Art Deco-inspired designs with original architectural elements including 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and restored hardwood flooring in select residences. Each unit incorporates contemporary conveniences such as stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and full-size washers and dryers while maintaining the character of the historic structure.

"The transformation of this historic furniture showroom into modern residences represents a thoughtful approach to preserving New Orleans' architectural heritage," said Ashley Garcia, Property Manager at Thirty60 Lofts. "Each apartment tells a story through its original details, from exposed brick walls to historical Juliet railings, while providing residents with the amenities they expect in contemporary urban living."
The building serves as a distinctive residential option in the Bywater neighborhood, known for its artistic community and proximity to galleries, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The property features an art-filled lobby with archways leading to a resident lounge, a landscaped courtyard, and common areas that offer city views. These spaces reflect the architectural significance of the early 20th century structure while serving the needs of modern residents.
Residential units at Thirty60 Lofts include versatile floor plans with generous storage space, energy-efficient appliances, and bathroom designs featuring white subway tile with black trim and mosaic flooring. The property maintains both pet-friendly and wheelchair accessible policies, operating in accordance with Federal Fair Housing Law. Each residence incorporates design elements that pay homage to the structure's commercial heritage while providing functional living spaces.
The renovation project preserved significant architectural elements from the early 20th century structure while adapting spaces for modern residential use. Original refinished hardwoods and LVT wood plank-style flooring complement the historic character, while private entrances in select units provide additional privacy for residents. The adaptive reuse of the former furniture showroom maintains the integrity of the original architecture through careful restoration of period details.
Virtual tours and a resident portal system facilitate both the apartment selection process and ongoing tenant services. The digital infrastructure allows prospective residents to explore available units remotely and enables current tenants to manage maintenance requests and rental payments through an online platform. This technology integration supports efficient property management while maintaining the personal service approach characteristic of boutique residential properties.


Thirty60 Lofts operates under Brian Gibbs Property Management as part of the Federated Historic Holdings portfolio. The company specializes in adaptive reuse projects that maintain the architectural integrity of historic structures while creating functional living spaces for modern residents. The Bywater location places residents within walking distance of neighborhood establishments and provides access to the cultural offerings that define this section of New Orleans. The property continues to serve as an example of successful historic preservation that honors the past while meeting contemporary housing needs.

Parshall Tree Care Experts Backs Grand Rapids Summer Oak‑Pruning Ban After Michigan DNR Oak Wilt Warning

July 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Parshall Tree Care Experts is urging homeowners and property managers in the Grand Traverse region to follow the Grand Rapids summer oak‑pruning ban and recent Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) guidance warning against pruning oak trees during the high‑risk oak wilt period. The company is aligning its Tree Care recommendations with both local ordinance and statewide forest health advice to help reduce the spread of oak wilt in residential and urban.
In an April 13, 2026 release titled “Put that saw down! Delay pruning oaks until mid‑July,” the Michigan DNR advised homeowners and landowners not to trim or prune oak trees from April 15 through July 15 because sap‑feeding beetles can carry oak wilt fungus from infected trees to fresh pruning wounds. Michigan State University Extension similarly notes that fresh pruning wounds attract these beetles and states that avoiding pruning oaks from April 15–July 15 is critical to preventing new infections. The DNR’s forest health program further emphasizes that oak wilt can quickly kill healthy red oaks and damage white oaks, and that avoiding pruning during this period is a key prevention. Learn more at https://markets.financialcontent.com/dailypennyalerts/article/pressadvantage-2026-4-3-parshall-tree-care-hemlock-trees-may-be-quietly-dying-michigan-dnr-issues-spring-treatment-alert.

Grand Rapids code of ordinances goes even further, prohibiting pruning oaks from April through November “to protect oak trees and help prevent oak wilt disease,” making the local restriction stricter than the statewide minimum guidance. This means many routine Tree Care activities that might involve oak pruning are legally restricted for much of the growing season within city limits. Parshall Tree Care Experts is using this season to inform residents about why the ban exists and how proper timing of pruning fits into long‑term, science‑based tree care planning.
Oak wilt prevention is closely tied to professional pruning standards. The ANSI A300 Tree Care Standards, developed and approved by the American National Standards Institute, serve as the U.S. benchmark for professional tree pruning and Tree Care operations, outlining how and where cuts should be made and limiting live canopy removal to protect tree health. Guidance based on these standards explains that topping, flush cuts, and removal of more than 25 percent of live canopy in a single season are practices that can harm trees and shorten their lifespan, whereas properly placed cuts at the branch collar support healthy wound closure and structural stability. Aligning local Tree Care work with these standards is one way homeowners can reduce avoidable stress on oaks already facing disease pressure from oak wilt.
Independent consumer guidance documents also underscore the value of involving trained professionals in Tree Care decisions. The TreesAreGood “Why Hire an Arborist” brochure, published in partnership with the International Society of Arboriculture, notes that ISA Certified Arborists have demonstrated knowledge in tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, and safety, and that their training is intended to support long‑term tree health and risk reduction. Ohio State University Extension similarly advises that tree work, especially hazardous or technical operations, should only be performed by trained Tree Care professionals equipped to work safely in and around trees, and that arborists can provide tree‑risk assessment and recommendations that help manage safety concerns while preserving tree health where possible.
Recent extreme weather in northern Michigan has added urgency to these Tree Care questions. The Michigan DNR has reported that successive late‑winter and early‑spring storms have left many trees with bowed branches, split trunks, and broken limbs, and has urged residents not to rush into cleanup with chainsaws, particularly when trees are large, damaged, or located near structures or utility lines. In this context, residents may feel pressure to address storm‑damaged oaks immediately, but state and local guidance indicates that, where safety allows, oak salvage and cleanup should be postponed until after the April 15–July 15 high‑risk period to reduce the chance of oak wilt
For situations where immediate action is necessary to protect people or property, Tree Care work often involves complex rigging and equipment. One Grand Rapids homeowner, Jamie Johnson Google Review, described his recent experience with a hazardous tree near her home:
“James gave me an honest opinion on my sick tree. I knew it was having problems and he let me know it was time to let it go. His guys did a beautiful job of taking the tree down and cleaning it up. Went to work and came home to it gone and fully cleaned up.”
Extension guidance notes that large or compromised trees near buildings or utilities present elevated risks and that such Tree Care work should be handled by professionals with appropriate training, insurance, and equipment rather than by untrained individuals.
Parshall Tree Care Experts states that its current recommendations for oak tree care in Grand Rapids are consistent with the combination of Michigan DNR advisories, MSU Extension research, ANSI A300 standards, and the city’s oak‑pruning ordinance. Residents are encouraged to consult authoritative state and university resources when planning tree care work, to avoid pruning oaks during the high‑risk infection window, and to seek qualified arborist guidance when trees pose potential safety hazards.
