Err, yes they do, that’s what I spend my time doing ... the forms are a small part of any application. 

Ok

If it is all so simple, why have you needed to ask at least half a dozen questions in the last 24 hours??

Because the application is the easy part the other things are what difficult and the agents don’t help with that unfortunately 

Right now I and my husband only have a 6 month lease that started in October 2019 and finishes April 2020 . We will be moving and will go on a new lease . I’m doing  for partner visa next month Is the 6 month lease still ok ?

Yes but that was a few years ago, wasn't it?   It's unbelievable how complicated some visas are now.  I did it all myself, too, but I wouldn't even contemplate applying for any kind of skilled visa these days.   The visa fees are very expensive and Immigration have become really unforgiving - one little mistake and they won't come back and say, "did you mean....?", they just reject the application and you've lost the lot.

I still think partner visas can be done yourself if you've got a genuine long-standing relationship.   There is a high refusal rate but it's mainly because of (a) people who think, "I'm married, my marriage certificate is enough", and don't collect the huge raft of proof of the relationship over time, and (b) people who make fraudulent claims hoping to get into the country.  However the partner visa is now so expensive and long-winded, you really can't afford to make a mistake, so an agent is probably worth the extra money. 

Citizenship - I don't think anyone uses an agent for that. 

But what’s so Complicated about filling in the forms yourself ? It’s just simple questions . The only hard part is getting all the evidence together 

* Do you put all 888 forms in 1 PDF ?

* is a 6 month lease good ? both names 

* does marriage pictures go in the relationship timeline PDF .

Some people use forum members for advice on quite complicated queries and expect everyone to come up with everything they want to know for free rather than pay an agent then they wonder why everything goes belly up.

That’s why people are on this forum for advice . What’s wrong with that , if you don’t want to answer someone’s question then just don’t

This poster was on the other thread saying agents were “useless” and you don’t need one.........

How important is it to have a migration agent ? The partner visa is already so expensive and I got quoted $7000 for a migration agent . That ok top of the partner visa is very costly . Can I just apply on my own with out a agent ? Or will it make my case not strong ?

No you don’t need on they are useless they fill in the application

Does doctor support letters hold a lot of weight ? 
I attended all appointments with my partner and my doctor wrote a support letter 

Please don’t use a doctor support letter 

Centrelink know I’m married . Will immigration know it’s a genuine relationship due to that also I lose $200 from my payment as I’m married . Is this strong proof

If the minister reasonable suspects that you are of bad character, you have a problem.

Even if I’m the sponsor ? It’s not my husbands fault that I didn’t tell Centrelink 

If I go to Centrelink and be honest about how I didn’t tell them I was in a relationship and living with my partner can this make it better for my partner visa or not.? I will tell them the truth before I submit the application

Government agencies do talk to one another. I assume it is your husband who is applying for his partner visa?

Yes it’s for my husband . I’m the sponsor. I didn’t know this was gonna happen if I knew I would of told them I was in a relationship 

Do immigration care if you lied to Centrelink . Why should they care if your a genuine couple ?

Another person posted earlier today with exactly the same issue (what a coincidence), and that person said their friend was living with their partner whilst claiming a single pension.

Anybody who is claiming a single person benefit whilst partnered, has bigger problems as they cross-match data all the time.

Why would you put your partner's address if you were living with your sister?

We are currently fighting with my husbands friend because he won’t post another post for us . He keeps saying we will get done for fraud but I told my husband to ignore his stupid comments . As long as immigration see me and my husband as a genuine couple I’m not worried about getting done for fraud with Centrelink . I’ll rather get done with fraud then to lose my husband .

When did you and your husband get married?  Were you claiming benefits from Centrelink?  Did you state you were single to Centrelink when you were actually married?

We only got married in November so I wasn’t claming benefits of single . But I was on a single payment because I wasn’t living with a boyfriend I was living with my sister but 4 years ago I used his address with Centrelink and haven’t changed it and I’m only going to claim on my partner visa of when we got married in novemeber because I just move in with him . But I’m not sure if they will see my record of it saying I was living with him when I wasn’t and get into trouble I’m not sure . But I was getting single rate cause I wasn’t married and wasn’t living with him .   But Centrelink know that I’m married and living with him which now my payment has dropped 

Do 888 forms have to be in capital or can they be in lower case ? Also with pictures do you have to write a caption and year or just upload the pictures with out writing ? 

Hi I have moved in with my husband in November this year we have been dating since 2010 . I was living with my sister and only just moved in with my husband . I told Centrelink that I was living at his address and single . But I wasn’t living there I was living with my sister . Will immigration see that my old addresses with Centrelink is the same as my husbands . Cause I’m only claiming now that I moved in with him. Cause I only moved in with him November this year . Will they care about that ?
