Sterling Silver 25th Year Anniversary of Australian Visa & Migration Consultancy Services (AVMCS)

Tuesday, 10^th May saw the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of AVMCS and Mr. Sanjay Deshwal’s work within the Australian migration field – the longest serving Australian Indian Migration Agent in NSW. The event was rightly held at the beautiful, heritage listed and oldest public building in Sydney, the NSW Parliament House.

The attendees to this prestigious event included several NSW Ministers, Counsellors, distinguished community members and several successful clients of AVMCS and Mr. Deshwal – some recent, and some from 25 years ago. The presence of clients from decades ago was a testament to Mr. Deshwal’s community-mindedness, loyalty and service.

Jazeel Mistry, Master of Ceremonies ably kicked off the event by welcoming all the distinguished guests and honoured Mr. Deshwal for his achievements within the business space and as a community member as President of LIHPBA.

The floor was then given to:

The Hon. Dr Geoff Lee, Member for Parramatta, Member for Corrections;

The Hon. Mark Coure, Member for Oatley, Minister for Multiculturalism & Seniors;

The Hon. Victor Dominello, Member for Ryde, Minister for Customer Service & Digital Government; and

Hon. Damien Tudehope, Minister for Finance & Employee Relations.

Each Minister welcomed the guests to the NSW Parliament House and spoke about Mr. Deshwal’s support, his work and community support as the President of Little India Harris Park Business Association (LIHPBA).

The Hon. Dr. Geoff Lee added personal anecdotes about his friendship with Mr. Deshwal spanning over a decade. He spoke of the challenges of not only opening and running a small business, but making it a success over decades and highlighted Sanjay as a friend who has been with him from his early days when he was a candidate for the first time.

The Hon. Mark Coure thanked Sanjay Deshwal on behalf of NSW Government, Premier and Treasurer for bringing qualified and skilled migrants in NSW. Hon. Victor Dominello added that his work in bringing the community & businesses together through LIHPBA was noted and acknowledged and appreciated. Minister Victor also shared his family experience of his Grandfather celebrating 25 years in a fruit shop business and he values how important this milestone is.

The Hon. Damien Tudehope, Minister for Finance & Employee Relations added to the above sentiments and congratulated Mr. Deshwal on his many successes.

Hon Julia Finn, MP Granville was not able to attend but her congratulatory video was played in the function.

Mr. Deshwal also took to the stage and again welcomed his guests to the NSW Parliament House and thanked everyone for attending. He extended his special thanks to his family, staff and his clients and the community.

The most poignant moment at the celebration came from Mr. Deshwal’s son, Mr. Harsh Deshwal, who then spoke exceedingly highly of his father, his work, dedication and sense of style throughout his years in Australia.  Mr. Harsh follows in his father’s footsteps and is also a registered migration agent and a lawyer. The night continued with the invitees socialising and celebrating AVMCS’s & Mr. Deshwal’s many successes.
