I am in a mood about Australian gov greed. Visa fees are a racket, and I don’t understand why they aren’t being sued and challenged for this greed in Australian courts.

[alexandrapatarroyo]

very nice info. I love your videos Can you please talk a bit more about off-shore applications? tanks a lot

[Duskimaiden]

I got rejected but I had all of the evidence provided, the case worker also didn't look at all of the evidence and merely skimmed through my application... Now my partner has to spend more money on an appeal because the case worker decided they didn't want to do their job properly.
We've even picked apart their vague statements about our application. It's annoying waiting 4 years and for the case worker to not even do their job properly.

I do all this by myself and my partner is here now and she got her citizenship. y waste money on the lawyer is nothing hard if u got nothing to hide

Thank you for ur video it amazing informations and make me understand well😊

[gurubal]

great video thanks. did you make a part two of this video ?

[jackelvers]

Did you jist say we meed to be together for 3 years? Thats can't be right. My partner and i are at 6 months however we're very in love, live together, plan to get married and have children.

[markosa]

that's not right. Definition of a defacto relationship under s5CB does not require 12-months of "living together" - it just requires a 12-month relationship.

I met a Jordanian guy who married a female he'd never seen. His mother arranged the marriage and this was accepted by Migration as was local custom.

Hi Traci.
Loved this video quite helpful in general.
Can you please make a short video on the updated partner visa policies after Nov 2023 which will be applicable for 2024?

[Sonam-kdxj]

I think you should better describe onshore and offshore separately. People will get confused if you explain in this way.

[palaweebuakham]

It’s a challenging situation partner visas I’ve been in a (LDR)with my girlfriend from the Phillipines, now I’ve considered myself in a relationship with her five years I’ve been to see her twice - due to Covid it slowed our relationship but we are planning thing together like building a house, but we don’t have a bank together we don’t share everything, I support most off her things like set her up in a unit pay sometimes daily needs, anyway it just frustrates me, I think I’ll just go live there
