Family & Partner Visas
Bringing families together — the right way.
Partner and family visas are among the most personal and emotionally significant visa applications. I approach these matters with both technical precision and genuine compassion. Whether you are applying for a partner visa (subclass 820/801 onshore or 309/100 offshore), a prospective marriage visa (subclass 300), or a parent visa, I will guide you through every step of the process.
Partner visas require extensive evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship. The Department assesses four key areas: financial aspects (joint bank accounts, shared expenses, financial interdependence), the nature of the household (shared living arrangements, division of household duties), social aspects (recognition by friends and family, social activities together), and the nature of the commitment (length of relationship, future plans, knowledge of each other's circumstances).
The two-stage partner visa process means you first receive a temporary visa (subclass 820 or 309), and then after approximately two years, the Department assesses whether the relationship is still genuine before granting the permanent visa (subclass 801 or 100). If you have been in a relationship for more than three years, or two years with children, you may be eligible for direct permanent residence.
I also handle complex partner visa cases involving family violence, previous visa refusals, health issues, and character concerns. If your partner visa has been refused, I can advise on appeal options at the ART and prepare a compelling case for review.
