Nano88 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Hi, I need a little help here please, so I’ve been on visa 820 and done my 2 years and they sent an email for me to apply for 801. We’ve used an agent for whole process and they charged us $3500, now they want another $1000 to apply for visa 801 as they saying they need to do everything all over again as its a new application. Does it sounds right just wanted to make sure we are not paying too much. And if I decided to do it myself, how hard its going to be as everything has been done by them I don't have the information or access to immi account ? thanks in advance for any help!

Raul Senise Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 For the 801 you will need to provide fresh evidence to show that you continue to be in the relationship and continue to meet the requirements of the visa. It is not as onerous as the original 820, hence the lower fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it sounds right Unfortunately yes. The whole reason for the 801 is to to prevent people faking a relationship to get the 820 then going off to live separate lives. So you need to prove that you're still together and still a real couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questionsearch Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I assume that they would transfer your application details to your immiaccount if you asked, they shouldnt be able to withhold them. I am actually curious about this as well, I assume after experiencing the requirements of 820 you need to upload similar evidence so how hard could it be to do it yourself? Since i assume the application process just requires input of your details and then uploading evidence documents. And prices seem to vary a lot, AIA for example required 7k payment(not including the department fee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
