Successful Partner Visa Case 11

Our client initially approached us through a paid consultation to apply for a Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Resident Visa. We assisted her in preparing her Expression of Interest (EOI), which was selected from the pool just before the March lockdown last year. Despite the challenges, we submitted her complete resident visa application within six months of receiving her Invitation to Apply.

Her SMC application remained without a case officer for months, and due to processing delays, it was estimated to take over two years. During a full consultation with Simon, she disclosed for the first time that she had been living with her partner, a New Zealand resident. She was advised to apply for a Partnership-Based Resident Visa instead.
​
After meticulous preparation, we submitted her partnership-based application, which was successfully approved within several months.
With upcoming changes to the work visa and SMC resident visa policies, the Partner Visa policy remains unaffected. If you're facing a similar situation, contact us today for expert advice and guidance.
