This client was originally staying in Australia on a 461 family visa. Due to a simple oversight, they missed the renewal deadline and ended up overstaying by a few days. Once they realized the issue, they left the country immediately — and that’s when we stepped in.
🔧 After the client departed Australia, we quickly mapped out a new plan and lodged an offshore Partner Visa (subclass 309/100). Given their unique situation, we also submitted a request for priority processing to the Department of Home Affairs.
And the most surprising part? Just one day after our priority request was submitted, we received the outcome:
✅ Subclass 309 Partner Visa — GRANTED!
✅ Subclass 100 Permanent Residency — GRANTED at the same time!
This means the client can now return to Australia to reunite with their partner — not just on a temporary visa, but as a permanent resident, all in one go!
📝 What this case shows:
▪ A visa expiry ≠ the end. With fast action and the right strategy, there’s still hope!
▪ Priority processing is possible when the request is genuine and well-documented.
▪ Having an experienced, strategic team really can make all the difference in getting the best possible outcome.
