Frequently Asked Questions
💬 1. How do I become a Permanent Resident (PR) in Australia?
There are several pathways to Australian Permanent Residency, depending on your circumstances. These include family-based visas (such as partner or parent visas), skilled migration, employer sponsorship, and humanitarian routes. I offer guidance to help you understand which pathway may apply to you based on your visa history, goals, and eligibility.
💬 2. Can I become a Permanent Resident if I hold a temporary visa, like a Visitor Visa?
In some cases, yes. While a Visitor Visa is not designed as a direct pathway to PR, certain individuals may be eligible to apply for another visa—such as a partner visa or protection visa—while onshore. It's important to check whether your current visa has any restrictions (like no further stay) before making plans. I can help you explore the safest and most appropriate steps forward.
💬 3. How long does a visa take to process?
Visa processing times vary widely depending on the visa type, the volume of applications, and the individual circumstances of your case. For example, some visitor visas are processed within weeks, while partner or employer-sponsored visas may take several months. After our initial consultation, I’ll give you an indication based on current Department of Home Affairs timeframes.
💬 4. Can you guarantee visa approval?
No migration agent can guarantee a visa outcome. What I can guarantee is 100% honest, thorough, and compassionate advice based on the latest laws and your unique situation.
💬5. Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, I offer a free initial advice service to help you understand your visa options. This is a brief, high-level response tailored to your situation. For in-depth, strategic advice or case preparation, a paid consultation is required.
💬 6. What happens if my visa is refused?
If your visa is refused, I can advise on your options, including review or reapplication. Every case is different, and I will never push you toward a step that I don’t believe has merit.
💬 7. What types of visas do you help with?
I assist with a wide range of Australian visas, including:
Partner and family reunification visas
482 and 186 employer-sponsored visas

💬 8. What makes Auxilium Migration Services different?
