Partner visas are our core practice
A partner visa depends on showing the Department a genuine and continuing relationship, supported by strong evidence. We prepare each application carefully for married couples, de facto partners and fiancé(e)s, in Australia or overseas.
We work with couples from many communities, and arrange accredited translation of marriage certificates, identity documents and other evidence.
Consultation and eligibility
We check your relationship, your sponsor's eligibility and the best option: onshore (820/801), offshore (309/100) or prospective marriage (300).
Relationship evidence
We guide you on evidence across the four areas the Department considers: finances, household, social life and commitment.
Statements and declarations
Your relationship statements and supporting statutory declarations from friends and family are prepared and checked for consistency.
Sponsorship and lodgement
We prepare and lodge the sponsorship and visa applications together, with health and character requirements organised.
Department requests and the permanent stage
We respond to any request for information and prepare updated evidence for the permanent stage, usually assessed about two years after lodgement.

Common questions
Before you book
Do I need a migration agent to apply for a visa?
No. Anyone may apply for themselves. A registered agent helps you choose the right visa, present your evidence properly and avoid mistakes that lead to refusal or delay. In Australia only registered migration agents and Australian legal practitioners may give immigration assistance for a fee.
How much does a consultation cost?
Our fee depends on the type of matter. We tell you the consultation fee when you book, and you receive a written agreement setting out all fees before any application work begins.
I've received a refusal or a letter from the Department. What should I do?
Read the letter for the deadline and contact us the same day. Review applications and responses to requests for information often have short, strict time limits. Bring the full letter and your application documents to the consultation.
Can you help if I'm outside Australia?
Yes. Consultations can be held by phone or video, and most applications are lodged online through ImmiAccount.
