Family affected by Typhoon Yolanda? Don't be a hero!
We at Down Under Visa have a lot of clients with loved ones and family members in Leyte and other parts of the Visayas in the Philippines who were affected by Typhoon Yolanda (aka Typhoon Haiyan) last week. Many of you sadly have not heard from your loves ones and don't know if they are safe or not.
Please do not try to be a hero! Please do not try to get to the disaster areas to try to search for them!
There are professionals there right now, with more to follow, ie. disaster specialists, military, medical personnel, etc. These areas are sometimes lawless and in a state of anarchy. There's a lack of food and safe water and shelter. If you go there, you will become part of the problem! You will then take resources away from those who already need them.
If you want to do something, donate to the Red Cross. http://www.redcross.org.ph/donatenow

And to those with any Faith, prayer is highly underrated. Try it.
Who are Down Under Visa? Who is Jeff Harvie?
Jeff Harvie and the Down Under Visa team have been doing this for a lot of years! Down Under Visa have brought thousands of couples to Australia from South East Asia over the years. Mostly from the Philippines, but we help increasing numbers of couples where the visa applicant is from China, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia. And what this means is we see a lot of success....and we also see failures when people go it alone after talking to their mate, or their relative, or that minimal-care-no-responsibility Facebook group run by Steve and Maribeth based on their own visa application! One application, and they feel qualified to advise others! It's not even LEGAL to do that!
Want to bring your sweetheart to Australia from The Philippines, China, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia? Get a FREE VISA ASSESSMENT today! It will take you five minutes.
