Is There a Partner Visa Lawyer Who Replies Quickly by Email?

Why is email a good way to work with a partner visa lawyer?

Email is a good way to work with a partner visa lawyer because it creates a written record of what the client said and what the lawyer advised. Partner visas depend on accurate dates, names and facts, and a written exchange lets both partners check the details before anything is lodged. Email also suits couples in different cities or countries, who can reply at times that suit them. Our page for partner visa lawyers explains how the firm works with clients remotely.

Which partner visa questions need an urgent reply?

Partner visa questions that need an urgent reply are those tied to a deadline, such as a request for information under section 56, a natural justice letter under section 57, a refusal, or a current visa that is about to expire. Deadlines for responding to the Department and for applying to the Administrative Review Tribunal are short and strictly applied. Our articles on the section 56 request and the section 57 natural justice letter explain these letters.

How can I get a faster answer from my lawyer by email?

A faster answer from a lawyer by email usually comes from a clear, complete message. The client should state the question in the first line, give any deadline and the date on the letter received, attach the document being asked about, and keep each matter in one email thread. A message that includes everything the lawyer needs can be answered without a series of follow-up questions. Our partner visa checklist helps clients send documents in a logical order.

What should a lawyer tell me in writing during my partner visa?

A lawyer should tell a client in writing what has been lodged, any request received from the Department and the date by which it must be answered, and any change in advice about the case. Clients should also be told in writing if their circumstances change in a way the Department must know about, such as a change of address or a change in the relationship. Our article on partner visa change of circumstances explains these obligations.

What if my current lawyer does not reply to my emails?

If a current lawyer does not reply to emails, the client can import the application into their own ImmiAccount to check its status and see whether any request is outstanding. The client can also change representative at any time without affecting the application. Our article on how to change immigration lawyer in Australia explains the steps and the forms involved.
