Good afternoon! I need you advice po. I have a boyfriend of nearly 4 years. Andito na po ako sa Australia. Nung nag apply ako nang visa ko sa Pinas di ko po siya na declare sa application ko kasi di pa kami ready. Ngayon gusto ko sana kunin siya to come here. What should I do po? Pumunta ako iba't iba agencies. Iba-iba naman ang sinasabi nila. Sabi nang isang Agency di daw pwede kasi nga Di ko na declare. Ang isa naman, file daw akoa Form 1023 (Notification of Incorrect Answer).

can you suggest any migration consultant/agency na makakatulong mag lodge ng subsequent entrant visa (student dependent visa) ng partner ko. Mahal kasi ng singil ng agent ko before A$1980 and parang hindi ko na gusto mag lodge ng application with my previous agent. Tapos sa nib insurance sabi nila A$1200 ung babayaran ko pero nung dito na ako sa australia tumawag ako sa NiB A$1,038 lang pala ang nabayaran nung agency.

2yrs ago, ang pinakamura is Allianz, but I'm not sure kung nagtaas na ba sila. Okay lang magDIY, you just need to do a lot of readings para lahat ng documents maattach. With regards to your child kung nasa school age yung bata, it's a requirement na papagaralin siya rito sa Au.
With the requirements, here is the link:
