Migration services
Being apart from the people you love is hard. We help couples put together strong, well-evidenced applications so you can focus on your future together.
How we help
Partner visas are evidence-heavy. We help you show the genuine nature of your relationship, prepare sponsor and applicant forms, and respond to requests from the Department. If your relationship changes, we advise on your options, including the family violence provisions.
Our professional fees are set out in writing in a Client Service Agreement before we start. Government visa application charges are set by the Department of Home Affairs and change each year. We give you a full estimate at your consultation. You can also check the official visa fees and charges.
