We truly just don’t want to waste anyone’s time or money, if it isn’t the right fit.
Promotional Consultations – Additional Terms
The total cost of the promotional consultation is $0 and the call is limited to a maximum of 10 minutes.
It is expected and assumed that all questions in the online booking form are answered fully, completely and accurately when scheduling the call. The answers to these questions may be relied upon during the call as well as in any Application Check, if you choose to proceed with one.
The Initial Calls are offered on a first come first served basis and availability and times are limited to those in the booking calendar. No further discounts will apply and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Only one free call may be booked per couple (couple being the entity of the prospective applicant and partner/sponsor) whether booked by a member of the couple or by another person on behalf of the couple.
This call types is limited to discussing the basic nature and complexity of your partner visa application and visa strategy only so far as to assess whether the Application Check would be suitable. Application Checks are best suited to straight forward applications with simple visa strategies.
They are not suited to applications that are high risk, have complex elements and/or complicated visa strategies. These types of visa applications are best suited to more involved assistance, such as full service assistance, so the application can be closely monitored to avoid mistakes.
This phone call is not to assess your eligibility for the partner visa application. It is expected that you you will have already done this yourself. The Application Check itself may pick up issues with eligibility and this would be included in the final report if you chose to go ahead with it after the call.
The Application Checks can be used for those who are lodging applications despite significant health and/or character issues, but the Application Check is not designed to assess, assist with or monitor those issues.
During this appointment, we will not advise in-depth on any complex matters, including but not limited to the following:
Applications that have already been lodged by you or another lawyer/agent;
Health waivers and health issues that may warrant a health waiver
Character issues that may impact on the application
Persons who are currently unlawful or on bridging visas
Which type of partner visa is best for you to apply for
Which type of visa is best for you to apply for
If any of the above apply to you, you may choose to book a paid consultation to discuss further. To save time you may like to book a paid consultation to start rather than booking a promotional consultation.
