Business overview
Watt Migration is a boutique Canberra immigration practice led by Ben Watt, an Australian lawyer and Registered Migration Agent (MARN 1570098) who has practised in migration since 2012. Operating from the Nishi Building in New Acton, the practice covers permanent residency pathways, skilled and employer-sponsored visas, partner and family visas, student and graduate visas, visitor visas, citizenship and resident-return visas, and — a particular focus — appeals and reviews before the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART, formerly the AAT) for refused or cancelled visas. The firm advertises a fixed-fee structure and offers support in English and Vietnamese.

The bottom line
Watt Migration is distinctive for being led by an accredited lawyer as well as a registered migration agent, which makes it a strong option for visa refusals, cancellations and tribunal (ART/AAT) reviews where legal argument matters — not just standard lodgements. As a single-principal boutique, clients deal directly with Ben Watt rather than a large team, and the advertised fixed-fee structure adds cost certainty; the flip side is that a one-person practice has finite capacity, so timelines depend on caseload.
