Jeff's Visa Client Stories 27-03-2026
Greetings to all visitors, friends and clients! Welcome to the third post/newsletter
Given the amount of traffic these videos are getting, I think many of you are already aware of our new YouTube playlist "Jeff's Visa Client Stories".
I hear from new and old clients all the time with issues, and I've always taken pride in having a well-informed clientelle. The more you know, the less mistakes you make (and the less headaches for poor Jeff!).
So I take these issues and address them in YouTube short videos (with longer written descriptions) explaining these issues in brief. Each video is only about 1 minute.
So please click and view. And SUBSCRIBE so you get informed immediately of new videos. Usually 2 - 3 per week. And please SHARE with friends and colleagues.
This is a summary of new videos from last week.

The actual Down Under Visa website has been updated! MUCH easier to navigate around, with many new features:
= A new assessment form which is smoother and less daunting
= A MINI version of the assessment form for those who have some specific questions
= And it’s now even easier to organise a free Zoom teleconference for some face to face time with Jeff Harvie .................
Never claim paternity to be a hero on an Australian visa application from the Philippines
Do not claim to be the biological father of a child on an Australian visa application when it’s not your child!
I get it! I have adopted children myself. I admire any man who willingly takes up the dad mantle instead of walking away! It’s old-school chivalry! It's a noble action and intent, but you will in fact make things worse by lying about the facts.
But it’s highly illegal to write false information on an application for a Government document! You risk visa refusal, 3 year bans, and maybe prosecution.
The Department are very good at finding out, especially if you weren’t in the country at the time of conception. AND it's very obvious when a child doesn’t resemble dad! They DO look at photos and they DO notice these things.
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, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia or Southeast Asia? Get a FREE VISA ASSESSMENT today! It will take you five minutes.
