Partner Visa Updates – NO 17 April changes

Serial sponsors and Australian Visa Applications? Do they exist?

We used DUV for all of our immigration visa applications, from Tourist to Partner. At all times they were very communicative, informative and professional. We highly recommend anyone who needs assistance with immigration issues between Australia and Philippines to speak first with Jeff and the team at Down Under Visa
