Case Summary
1️⃣ Love and Life 🌍
The main applicant, residing in China, and the sponsor, living in Australia, have a 14-year age difference, making them an unconventional couple. Their love story began through a mobile game, where they often teamed up to play together. Their relationship evolved from game partners to WeChat friends. After the main applicant experienced infidelity from her ex-husband and went through a divorce, she returned to her hometown with her child. During this difficult time, the sponsor provided her with immense emotional support, helping her regain the courage to live. Later, the sponsor flew to China to confess his love, and the two decided to spend their lives together.
2️⃣ Challenges and Difficulties 🌍
Due to the sponsor’s work commitments, he could not stay in China for extended periods, leading to the couple being separated across two countries. Six months later, the sponsor flew back to China and proposed to the main applicant, and they registered their marriage there. However, due to the three-year lockdown period, international travel was restricted, preventing the sponsor from returning to China, and their planned wedding was canceled. The couple faced the challenge of long-term separation once again. Despite being apart during the pandemic, their relationship deepened. Finally, in 2023, they were able to reunite and decided to move to Australia together with the child to start a new life.
When our firm took on their case, we carefully analyzed the situation. We discussed the points that might be questioned and the challenges in the evidence chain, such as the main applicant being divorced with a child, the significant age difference, long-term separation, lack of economic ties, and limited social connections. Additionally, both the main applicant and the sponsor had faced significant impacts on their respective industries due to the lockdown, resulting in unstable employment and income, making it difficult to provide financial support to each other. We customized a material checklist based on the client’s actual situation and made real-time adjustments based on their feedback.
3️⃣ Case Summary and Key to Success ✨
Despite the limited conditions, we collected all possible evidence of the relationship they could provide and prepared explanations and clarifications for potential questions from the DoHA in advance. Before submitting the application, we meticulously checked all the materials to ensure there were no errors. After submission, our professional team actively followed up, keeping track of the applicant’s situation and promptly reminding them to avoid any mistakes that could affect the application. Thanks to our professional services and the client’s active cooperation, the applicant was able to bypass the waiting period for the temporary spouse visa. The DoHA approved their permanent spouse visa within three months without requiring additional relationship evidence or conducting a phone interview, allowing the main applicant to quickly reunite with the sponsor. The main applicant was very pleased and expressed the desire to continue using our services for other family members’ visa applications.
