Hey guys i need some help regarding my second stage partner visa 801 i hope someone can help me
i applied for 820 using an agent they charged me arm and a leg like nearly 3000$ i got my visa in june this year and my application is due for 801 in September this year i gave em a call and they want another 2000$ for the 801 lodgement so i decided me and my wife to save the money and do it ourselves
My first question is is there gonna be any problem with my lodgement because its not lodged from same account as 820 ?
2: there is a question in the application form online asking if i have family members that reside in australia i got just a brother on student visa and ive got my parents in law they are aussies should i just mention them in this question ?
3: can i do my statement and upload it ad ms word or pdf instead of filling up the boxes
4: am i too late as my eligibility was last month .
Thanks all in advance I appreciate every help for my questions

Hi Modokaba,

The previous reply and info from College Girl is correct. I am a Registered Migration Agent and am amazed at how people get ripped off by unscrupulous agents. You may be eligible for a refund of your fee if there is a certain document they didn't send you relating to your service fee. Also, check your contract about what the fee included. It should state somewhere that the service and contract that you paid for ENDS when the first stage visa as been decided upon. If it doesn't specify when the service ends, then there may also be redress. Finally, for anyone else out there, its always worth checking and 'shopping around' if using an Agent (and always check that they are registered by the MARA). $2,000 for the second stage is rather high! I charge $2,300 for the whole process. Cheers - Phil (Superior Migration Consultancy) Melbourne.
