How Can I Fast-Track My Australian Partner Visa Application?
Australian Partner Visas from the Philippines – How to Avoid Long Delays!
By Jeff Harvie – Registered Migration Agent | Down Under Visa
Question: How can I fast-track my Australian Partner Visa application?
Answer from Down Under Visa: The best way to avoid unnecessary delays is to submit a professionally prepared, decision-ready Partner Visa application and, most importantly, DON’T PROCRASTINATE! Many couples lose months, or even a year or more, before they start their applications. And sometimes after they start the application, they take forever to complete their requirements! Get your FREE Visa Eligibility Check, understand what you need to do, and make a start today. While nobody can guarantee faster processing or a particular outcome, a complete, well-prepared application helps prevent avoidable delays.
One of the most common questions we hear at Down Under Visa is:
“Jeff, is there any way we can fast-track our Australian Partner Visa application?”
And we understand why people ask!
You're in love. You've found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. You're an Australian with a wonderful Filipina partner, and you want to get on with your lives together in Australia.
You don't want to spend years waiting!
You want your partner visa approved, and you want it approved as quickly as possible!
So, can you actually speed things up?
Well, there's good news! There are two very important things you can do to avoid unnecessary delays with your Australian Partner Visa application.
And the second one will probably surprise you!
First: Get a Professionally Prepared, Decision-Ready Partner Visa Application!
Let's get something straight.
The Australian Department of Home Affairs doesn't have a special express lane where you pay extra money and jump to the front of the queue.
And no Registered Migration Agent can guarantee that your application will receive priority processing. None of us have "contacts" or special influences.
However, there's a very big difference between submitting a properly prepared, decision-ready application and submitting a mistake-ridden DIY home-made application!
And that difference is something you CAN control!
What Is a Decision-Ready Partner Visa Application?
A decision-ready application is one that's been professionally prepared with all the required information, documentation and supporting evidence. Also called "Front-Loaded", because it has everything included.
Everything is organised. Everything is consistent. The relationship evidence is properly presented, and the application is prepared to meet the relevant visa requirements.
The case officer shouldn't need to spend time chasing missing documents, asking for explanations about contradictory information or requesting evidence that should have been included in the first place.
Note: When they do have to chase you up, it adds months to the processing time!
That's how you avoid unnecessary delays!
Unfortunately, we see plenty of DIY (do-it-yourself) applications where people have rushed through the forms, misunderstood the requirements, or simply failed to provide adequate evidence.
Then they wonder why their applications are taking so long!
When the Department needs to request additional information, that creates extra work and a lot of additional waiting.
A professionally-prepared application avoids these preventable problems.
At Down Under Visa, we take preparing Australian Partner Visa applications very seriously.
We don't believe in simply filling out forms and hoping for the best!
We prepare thorough, carefully-documented applications designed to be ready for assessment.
That gives your application the strongest possible start.
And while the Department controls processing times, submitting a complete and properly prepared application removes those avoidable obstacles.
Second: DON'T PROCRASTINATE!
Now, here's the one that surprises people!
One of the biggest delays in Australian Partner Visa applications happens BEFORE the application is even lodged!
And who's responsible for that delay?
Very often, it's the applicants themselves!
We've spoken to couples who have been discussing applying for an Australian Partner Visa for a year or longer.
They talk about it. They think about it. They worry about it.
But they don't actually DO anything!
Then, twelve months later, they finally decide to start preparing their application.
And what do they say?
“Jeff, we don't want to wait too long! Is there any way to speed things up?”
Well, imagine if they'd started twelve months earlier!
They could already have had their application lodged and progressing through the Department's processing system. Maybe even granted already!
Instead, they've spent an entire year doing nothing!
That's a year they can't get back.
Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time!
We understand that applying for an Australian Partner Visa is a big decision.
There's paperwork involved. There are documents to collect, evidence to prepare and government visa application charges to consider.
But sitting around worrying about the process doesn't get you any closer to Australia!
Taking action does!
You don't need to understand every single immigration requirement before you make your first move.
That's what professional migration assistance is for!
At Down Under Visa, we guide couples through the application preparation process so they know what's required and what needs to happen next. We take the guesswork out of the process.
The important thing is to make a start.
And once you've started?
GET ON WITH IT!
Don't spend months putting-off collecting documents or completing the information needed to prepare your application.
Every unnecessary week spent procrastinating is another week before your application can be lodged.

Important: Professionally prepared, decision-ready applications help prevent avoidable delays but do not guarantee faster processing or visa approval. The Department of Home Affairs determines processing priorities and makes all visa decisions.
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!
