Visa granted after 28 days
Down Under Visa just had an onshore (applicant in Australia) partner visa (Subclass 820) granted for a young couple in a de facto relationship. It only took 28 days.
There is no question that we were fortunate that a Case Officer picked it up early. It could have been sitting in a pile for 6 months or more. However, they decided it quickly because it was "Decision-Ready". That means that everything was complete, and the Case Officer was able to make a decision immediately. Nothing to check. Nothing to clarify. No extra information or documents requested.
The size of the pile, we have no control over. But we DO have a level of control over what is submitted in the application, but only if the client cooperates with us and follows our instructions and directions. We can be tough and we can be blunt. Sometimes clients get annoyed at being asked for more documents, or when we reject something they've sent to us. But we do this only because we want your application to go through the system quickly.
For our existing clients, please take note of this and understand why we will be tough on you and why we can be pedantic about what you send us.
For anyone who needs help in getting a partner visa (spouse visa, fiancee visa, prospective marriage visa, de facto visa), please go to our website Down Under Visa and get a free assessment.
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!
