Frequently asked questions

Processing times vary significantly depending on the visa type, your circumstances and current Department of Home Affairs workloads. Some visas are processed in weeks; others can take 12 to 24 months or longer. During your consultation, we will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and the most current processing data available.

Every visa requires different documentation, but common requirements include proof of identity, skills assessments, English language test results, employment references, educational qualifications and relationship evidence. We will provide you with a complete, tailored checklist during your strategy session, so you know exactly what is needed and why.

Yes. We handle complex cases, including appeals and reviews. If your visa has been refused or cancelled, contact us as soon as possible. There are often strict time limits, sometimes as short as 7 days, for lodging appeals. The sooner we can review your case, the more options you will have.

Fees vary depending on the complexity of your case and the visa type. During your free consultation, we will provide a clear, written fee quote with no obligation. Our fees are transparent, and we believe the cost of professional advice is far less than the cost of a refused application.
