Client story
One of our clients approached us to assist with sponsoring his partner after their visa application had been pending for over a year. The case was complex due to an extensive residential and travel history, and the partner’s inability to provide many documents after fleeing a war-torn country. During the process, we received three Section 56 requests from the Department for further information and clarification. Where documents were unavailable, we prepared detailed statutory declarations explaining the circumstances and successfully obtained concessions. Through persistence and a strategic approach, we kept the application on track and guided our clients toward a positive outcome.
