πŸŽ‰ WE'RE BACK β€” AND WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE! πŸŽ‰


⏳ 13 JULY 2026 β€” AGED DEPENDENT RELATIVE (SUBCLASS 838) β€” QUEUE DATE ASSIGNED
οΏ½β€’ The core of an Aged Dependent Relative application is proving genuine dependency on the sponsor. Extensive documentary evidence and several written submissions are required.

⚠️ WHAT IS A QUEUE DATE? The Department of Home Affairs may cap the number of visas granted in a financial year. Capped applications are placed in a queue. A queue date confirms the application has cleared its initial assessment and is now formally waiting for a final visa assessment. Based on current information, the processing time for this visa subclass is estimated at around 22 years.

✈️ 31 JULY 2026 β€” VISITOR (SPONSORED FAMILY STREAM) (SUBCLASS 600) GRANTED

β€’ Our client had been refused multiple times before coming to us, due to the fact that Venezuela is treated as a high-risk country with prolonged political and economic instability. A history of refusals makes each subsequent application harder, not easier. However, extensive documentary evidence and a written submission that addressed every ground of the previous refusals, changed the outcome of this visa application.

🎊 1 AUGUST 2026 β€” AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE ISSUED

The final step to officially become an Australian citizen. Welcome home !!

πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί 14 AUGUST 2026 β€” TWO CITIZENSHIP APPROVALS ON THE SAME DAY

Two clients, two different pathways.

β€’ APPLICANT AGED 16–17: A 16 or 17 year old permanent resident can apply for Australian citizenship in their own right β€” they do not need to apply through a parent, and they are NOT required to meet the full four-year general residence requirement. This is a pathway many families do not realise exists!

β€’ APPLICANT AGED 18–59: Approved on 14 August 2026 β€” and invited to a citizenship ceremony on 24 August 2026, within two weeks of approval!

πŸ›‚ 27 AUGUST 2026 β€” BRIDGING VISA B GRANTED, with a five-year travel facility

⚠️ IMPORTANT: A Bridging Visa A (BVA) does not permit travel. If you leave Australia on a BVA, you will lose your BVA!

πŸ’š THANK YOU to every client who trusted us with their matters.

πŸŽ‰βœ… YOUR WINS ARE OUR WINS β€” MORE PERMANENT VISAS + CITIZENSHIP GRANTED!



We're delighted to celebrate a run of recent successes with our families πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ίβ€οΈ

πŸ’ PARTNER VISA GRANTS
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Family 1 β€” Partner (subclass 100) PERMANENT granted (lodged offshore as a 309)
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦ Family 2 β€” Partner (subclass 820 + 801) granted together for the main applicant and the dependent child

For Family 2, because processing took more than two years, both the temporary (820) and permanent (801) visas were granted at the same time. πŸ™Œ

πŸ’‘ The standout: the dependent child turned 18 during processing and had been working for a period β€” circumstances that can easily put a dependency case at risk. With the right evidence, we proved ongoing dependency on the main applicant, and both visas were granted.

πŸ›‚ THREE CITIZENSHIP WINS β€” THREE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS
✨ Aged 60+ β€” approved! No citizenship test required. Applicants 60 and over are exempt from sitting the test. Next step: the ceremony invitation.
✨ Aged 16–17 β€” approved and invited to their ceremony! 🎊 A pathway many families don't realise exists: a child who is a permanent resident can apply without the general 4-year residence requirement that applies to adults β€” so a child can sometimes become a citizen before their PR parents do. No citizenship test. Early citizenship unlocks full rights, including eligibility for a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) loan to study at an Australian university.
✨ Aged 18–59 β€” approved, test passed βœ…, invited to their ceremony! 🎊 The standard conferral pathway requires sitting and passing the citizenship test.

The details matter. The evidence matters. Getting it right the first time matters. πŸ’ͺ

Congratulations πŸŽ‰πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ίβ€οΈ

Another wonderful outcome today β€” permanent residency granted for both father and child (Partner visa 820/801 + dependent child).

What makes this one special: the child turned 18 during processing and had been working for a period β€” circumstances that can easily jeopardise a dependent application. But with the right guidance and evidence, we successfully proved ongoing dependency on the main applicant, and both visas were granted.

Proof that the right strategy makes all the difference. πŸ’™

πŸ’° Partner visa application fees have increased from 1 July 2026 β€” here’s what’s changed πŸ‘‡



The Department of Home Affairs has raised the base application charge for the Partner visa (subclass 820 onshore / 309 offshore).

For most applicants (main applicant):
β€’ Before (lodged on or before 30 June 2026): AUD $9,365
β€’ Now (lodged from 1 July 2026): AUD $11,710
➑️ An increase of AUD $2,345.

A few things worth knowing:
βœ… This one charge covers BOTH stages β€” temporary (820/309) and permanent (801/100). No separate government fee later.
βœ… Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300) holders applying onshore for 820: from AUD $1,560.
βœ… The fee is non-refundable, even if the application is refused.
