Fast visa applications versus GOOD visa applications
“We want you to lodge our visa application as quickly as possible, because we want to be together!”
We hear this all the time!
The other one is about why this is all taking so long?
- We want to be together during xxxx month, because we want to go to the yyyyyy festival
- We have already booked the tickets because they were cheap. And why is it taking so long?
- Yes, it’s true that most of the things that Down Under Visa had requested haven’t been supplied by us yet, but why is it taking so long?????
Why did you engage Down Under Visa to manage your visa application?
I think that most of you signed up with us because you wanted a partner visa application or tourist visa application that had been prepared properly, so that the Australian Embassy in Manila (or the Department in Australia) will grant the visa you wanted! No mistakes, no omissions, and sufficient evidence of your relationship that they will see that you do in fact meet the requirements for a visa grant.
Well……we can either do it FAST, or we can do it RIGHT. We try not to waste time, of course. Apart from it making our clients happy, it also makes good business sense. But first and foremost we run an ethical Migration Agent practice, and we always act in the best interests of our clients even if this makes you take out your frustrations on us sometimes. No compromise! Quality wins every time!
How can we make our visa application go faster?
Most will already know that we can’t make the Embassy or Department go faster. No point in asking, and no point in complaining. This is out of our hands, and they will also be doing their bit to process the application as fast as they can even if it might not seem that way.
But as to how to make things go faster when it’s being prepared? Simple!
- Follow the directions you’ve been given!
- Read everything we send you!
- Click on the links on the Migration Hub To-Do List! They contain 99% of the information you will need to know about your visa requirements, and will lead to less mistakes and less wasted time.
- You can also help yourselves a great deal by starting the application in plenty of time! Not leaving everything to the last minute, then wondering why its taking so long!
- And always understand that we are 100% on your side, even if that means we don’t always agree with you.

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!
