Down Under Visa Logo

We came across a lady in a terrible situation in mid 2010, a victim of poverty and poor advice. She had visited Australia with the intention of overstaying and working. Not the right thing, but poverty and family pressure can make people do all sorts of things. She was given a three year ban, and returned to her homeland. Somebody in the family then told her to get a fake name and a fake passport and to try again. It worked! So she was now back in Australia and overstayed again. She contacted me because she was now pregnant and in a steady relationship with an Australian Citizen, and wanted to put things right.

Another migration agent had advised her to leave the country and to apply offshore. Very poor advice. She would have had almost no chance of returning once she had left. We prepared the application and waited until the baby (an Australian Citizen at birth by right of her dad) was born, and applied onshore (in Australia) based of a belief they would not deport a mother and separate her from her baby, and we were correct.

After a long hard battle, she now has a permanent visa (Subclass 801) allowing her to stay as long as she likes.

We consider this a great victory for our client, and a great victory for Down Under Visa. Putting through standard partner (fiancee visas, spouse visas and de facto partner) visa applications is fairly easy for us, especially after all these years. But applications like this one, we know we worked hard for. And for those who would turn up their noses at an “illegal alien”, remember that all human beings are entitled to a strong legal defense so that they receive justice. We are practitioners of Australian Migration Law, and we never give up on a client. And this client is now able to enjoy the rest of her life with her little girl and her partner, all of whom now have a sense of security.

What does his mean to you, the average person? It means if we can battle through a long and difficult case like this one, we will have no trouble with an easier partner visa case. So please feel free to look at our Down Under Visa site. Hopefully we can help you too.

      Not really the place to discuss something like that, Paula. I suggest he completes the assessment form on the website and we can see if we can help. Thanks.
