These applications are evidence-heavy — a clear, well-structured approach makes all the difference.
We confirm the right pathway — onshore (820/801), offshore (309/100) or Prospective Marriage (300) — for your circumstances.
We assess and prepare the sponsor's application and obligations alongside yours.
We help you assemble proof across the four relationship aspects and identify any gaps early.
We prepare your relationship statements and supporting statutory declarations (including Form 888 from friends and family).
We submit a complete, well-organised application that presents your relationship clearly.
We manage your bridging visa (onshore), respond to requests, and guide you to the permanent stage.

Evidence typically spans the financial, social, household and commitment aspects of your relationship. We give you a tailored checklist and help present it clearly.
The Department assesses your relationship across four areas: your financial arrangements, the nature of your household, the social aspects of your relationship, and the nature of your commitment to each other. Strong applications show evidence across all four.
No. You can apply as a married couple or as de facto partners. De facto applicants generally need to show the relationship has existed for a set period or that it is registered — we'll confirm what applies to you.
The 820/801 is lodged while you are in Australia (onshore), usually with a bridging visa while you wait. The 309/100 is lodged from outside Australia (offshore). The right choice depends on where you are and your circumstances.
Dependent children can often be included in your application. We assess who is eligible and what evidence is required for each dependent.
Processing times vary and can be lengthy. We set realistic expectations based on current trends and ensure your application is complete to avoid delays.
Onshore applicants are usually granted a bridging visa with work rights while a decision is pending. We'll confirm what applies to you.
