Down Under Visa Logo

Christmas is near, and the end of 2013 is near.

To all clients of Down Under Visa, we thank you for making this a great year for us. We’ve enjoyed helping all of you to make your dreams come true, and we can think of no better job than one where we can help couples to come together.

To those with fiancee visas and spouse visa applications and granted visas, we wish you long and happy lives together as Mila and I are blessed to enjoy. We hope that the waiting time and all the stress and worry has helped you to appreciate each other more. We always value those things that we had to struggle for. May you not forget that struggle as the years go on, and always remember how lucky you are to have someone special who loves you as no one else does.

And to the tourist visa applicants? Most of you are in earlier stages of relationships, and we hope that one day soon we’ll get to help you with permanent visas so you can be together forever. We hope it works out for you all!

The Embassy in Manila has been doing a sterling job this year, and particularly at this time of year. Not all of you have your visa grants yet, but remember that the year isn’t over yet. We had client visa grants all last week right up to Friday, and I’m sure there will be more during the coming week. So don’t despair if it hasn’t happened yet.

Please keep in mind though that regardless of how many visa grants have happened lately, there will probably be some who will not have their applications granted in time. There was never any guarantee, and we’ve done our very best.

And please remember that Friday is our last day before we close for a well-earned break until 6 January 2014. (We will have a house full of nieces and nephews from the province over this time, so we expect our house to be full of noise and life. Can’t wait!) We will be lodging the last of the prepared visa applications for the year by Wednesday.

    Kumusta I am one of those guys who is waiting, save not so patiently in my mind for my wonderful caring Filipino bride of nearly 10 months now, it took us a deal of time to gather and prepare our documents required to apply for our partner visa, so that Jeff and his great team in Manila could get on with the application, I have nothing but congratulations to D U V on the handling of our visa application and am so glad that I decided to use there very professional reasonably priced visa services.
    A word of advice from my recent experience is not to be impatient with your lady in the Philippines in collecting her requirements as it is not as easy as it is for you in Australia, I am thankful that I learnt this very early in the game by talking to some of my Filipino friends here in Queensland, who helped me to understand the local Philippine situation on the ground as my lady clocked up a lot of Jeepney klms and time to obtain the original documents required.
    Our application has been lodged now for 3.5 months and I have been praying that we may be one of the lucky couples to get our Visa prior to the Christmas break, but if it is not to be then I thank God for Yahoo chat and we look forward to the visa being granted early in the new year.
    If you have chosen Down Under Visa then you are way in front already in your quest to be with the lady you love so dearly.
    Christmas wishes to all, especially Jeff and his team in Manila.
    William and Charissa
