What Our Clients Say About Us!
Description
examples of how we have helped our clients
We had a client from the Philippines who was unlawful in Australia for many years. She left to go back to the Philippines and the Australian sponsor applied for the partner visa which was refused. After having a consultation, we came to realise that the applicant was eligible to apply whilst she was onshore however was advised to leave and make an application offshore. Secondly, the application did not have sufficient information in order for a grant to be provided. The Department at times also do not advise if they want more information but rather make a decision. We lodged for our clients and in 2 months the visa was applied. This involved a lot of preparation and providing a lot more supporting documents than was provided previously. We also made request for priority.
We had a client from the Philippines who had visa refusals and visa cancellations. They were a de facto couple. Regardless of the fact that the applicant lived in the Philippines and the sponsor lived in Australia, they qualified as a de facto couple as they registered a relationship certificate in Australia. We detailed submissions about the applicant's previous history in Australia we successfully obtained a visa grant in just 3.5 months.
We had a client from the Philippines who had already lodged an application through another representative. The issue was they were waiting over 1 year and the representative stated they just needed to wait. When they come to us for a consultation, we reviewed their application and it appeared that a lot more documentation could have been provided. Once our client provided all that they could, we then made a request for priority and the visa was granted in just 2 months.
We had a client from the Philippines who came to Australia on a marriage prospective visa (fiancé visa) and applied for a partner visa. Her daughter who was 12 came to Australia after the partner visa was lodged and the visa granted, The applicant wanted to include her daughter in her partner visa application. As the partner visa was granted, it was too late to include her daughter. However, we assisted with an application for a dependent child visa which then allowed her daughter to remain in Australia and together they applied for the second stage permanent partner visa.
We had a Filipino client who was in Australia however was unlawful for about 10 years. She fell in love and lived with her partner for years both fearing she would be deported and never be able to come back again. What they did not know was they were eligible to still apply for a partner visa. There issue in these circumstances was having to also meet schedule 3 as a result of applying whilst holding a bridging visa and not a substantive visa. We were able to assist our clients with proving they had compelling and compassionate grounds to meet schedule 3. Not only did our clients get their partner visa but also a double grant (both permanent and temporary)
