Recently I have been doing a few cases for Partner Visa. For some reasons, I had a few cases for the past 2-3 months. Most of the times are the Thai girls who marriage to the Australian men.
I usually would sit down and interview them, how was their first met, how their relationship begin...etc...etc... The best part of this visa category is that I will have to read their personal statement, about their relationship. Trust me guys, that was the most wonderful moment of my job. The couples had allowed me into their life. To help them with the case. To know their love story...which usually very personal and intimate. I felt honored and privilege.
One of the amazing part is the translation part. I will usually let's my Thai clients write their personal statement in Thai. I then translate for them. It was such a wonderful moment to know someone life in a deeper level. I felt very humble by this.
Thank you guys for letting me in into your life.
Working Visa; long business stay
Recently I have been doing a lots of work for working visa (long business stay); subclass 457. I found that the Department of Immigration (DIAC) work extremely fast on this visa subclass compare to other type of visas. That is because the government now concentrate more on skill migrant who has the employer ready to sponsor. That is to ease some of skill shortage in some industry. Most of all, the visa applicants already have the job offered. Soon after the employees are working for 2 years, then they could apply for their permanent residency (PR) which most of the people are aiming for.
Having a job offered is more or less a guarantee that that employee will not be liable on our social benefit; CenterLink and so fourth. I am strongly think that the government has made the right move on these issues. I really wish to see more people on this visa category. Another words, yes...we do need more skilled migrants in our country. Good for economy, good for the country as people who are in the workforce are paying TAX!!!

My friends said, this and that
Australian migration is a changing arena. The law and policies changes, from time to time, government to government. Things happen last year, it doesn't mean that will apply to you this year. Each applicant circumstances are different. Don't always assume that whatever your friends experiences with the department from the donkey years, would be the same to you.
It is advisable to always seek the advise from someone who know stuff. Your lawyer, solicitor or registered migration agent and so forth. Trying to save a few dollars, not gonna do you any good. Unless you are not serious about getting your visa done.
There are countless of time that I encountered. People come to me most of the time and said that..."oh, my friends said this and that....blah....blah....". errr.... yeap, whatever your friends said, that was true... but that was 1-2 years ago. Things now are change...oops.
I don't feel sorry that things are changing all the time. I believe that the change is for a better. I am sure the that the government has thought it through before making any changes. It may favor some, and disadvantage some. But...that is life. There are set of rules that we have to follow to keep this country in a good order, good shape.
