Is My Migration Lawyers Good for Partner Visas?

What partner visas does My Migration Lawyers work on?

My Migration Lawyers works on every main partner visa pathway: the onshore Subclass 820 visa and Subclass 801, the offshore Subclass 309 visa and Subclass 100, and the Subclass 300 prospective marriage visa. The firm also acts on related issues, including sponsorship limitations, Schedule 3, condition 8503 waivers and family violence claims. This breadth means a couple can stay with the same firm if their case changes direction, for example when a prospective marriage visa holder marries and moves to the Subclass 820, or when a first stage grant is followed by questions at the permanent stage.

How can I judge whether a law firm is good for my partner visa?

A couple can judge whether a law firm is good for their partner visa by looking at how the first advice is given. Useful signs are a lawyer with a practising certificate, a practice focused on migration, specific advice on the risks in the couple's own facts, a written scope and fixed fee, and a clear explanation of what happens if the Department raises concerns. Our article on choosing Australian migration lawyers sets out these checks in full.

Does My Migration Lawyers act when a partner visa has been refused?

At the first consultation, My Migration Lawyers will tell a couple which partner visa pathway fits their circumstances, whether any validity or eligibility issue stands in the way, and what evidence the case will need. Where the firm sees a serious risk, it explains it directly rather than leaving it for later. Couples leave the consultation knowing what the firm would do, what it would need from them and what it would cost.
