It is a rare experience to work closely with a private business and find that, without exception, they go beyond the call of duty to provide expertise, insight, reassurance, wisdom and kindness – in addition to their advertised services. This was, however, my constant experience when dealing with Skylark. When I was preparing to apply for a partner visa, I spoke to several migration agents. Many gave conflicting or cursory advice.
My visa was granted less than 5-month-wait. Both 820 and 801 were granted at the same time!! My partner and I are over the moon and extremely happy with the service that Skylark team has provided us throughout our journey! Once again, thank you so much for being so professional. I highly recommended their services to anyone who needing visa advice 🙂
We are absolutely thrilled to have received the grants for both our Subclass 820 (Temporary) and Subclass 801 (Permanent) Partner visas! Skylark Immigration has been nothing short of exceptional throughout our entire journey from Samoa to Australia. From securing our Visitor Visa to guiding us through the Bridging Visa process and ultimately achieving permanent residency, their expertise and support have been invaluable.
We cannot recommend Skylark Migration highly enough. From the outset, they transformed what could have been an overwhelming visa process into a seamless and reassuring experience. We felt fully supported every step of the way.
One word that comes to my mind when I think of Skylark Migration is “Brilliance”. From the first day my wife and i stared our visa process we felt comfortable, So Wun and Walter who were the main players working on our special case, were just exceptional in every aspect, from liaising in a manner that was easy for us to understand, compassionate, understanding, and they worked so very hard for us to achieve the perfect outcome.
It has been a great experience working with Skylark.They have been very helpful with all my queries. I would like to particularly appreciate Van from Skylark team who used to call us whenever we had questions and solved them in shortest time possible, I got my partner visa just within a 1.5 months which we never expected to come so early. I will thank all of the Skylark team for being extremely professional.
5 out of 5 for Skylark who delivered what they said. They made the whole process very straight forward. Their templates were well laid out and they had a lot of time and patience for us. After 6 months we now have the 820 visa thanks to Sonny, Carmel & So Wun and the rest of the team. We will absolutely be using you for 810. Thank you so much Skylark you have made my 2024 the best year yet for me and my boyfriend. All the very best
If you are looking for a Migration Lawyer, look no further than Skylark! I’m extremely happy to say that my wife (and son) were recently granted their 309 (offshore )Partner Visa. They are now with me in Australia, and we owe so much of that to Skylark. Applying for a Partner Visa can be a long and stressful process, but Skylark were there beside us through the whole process and we..
We had a great experience with Skylark and think it was totally worth the investment!! Skylark Migration Specialists made the whole process of applying to a 309 visa very smooth! We expected to get a positive answer in around 6 months but it took only a bit over a month after the visa lodgment.
Used their services for a PMV 300. We got the grant in 3 months and couldn’t be happier! Great communication and adheres to deadlines! The administrative work Skylark put into the application makes every dollar worth it! The format of our application that Skylark put together most likely helped with our quick grant as it was logical and easily to follow.

We understand the ins and outs of the visa process and will give you the best chance of approval
It is one of the more common reasons people come to us, and a refusal does not necessarily end your options, but it does change them.
You may have appeal rights with strict time limits, often 21 days, and a previous refusal is something the Department takes into account on any later application. The first thing we look at is why it was refused, because that decides whether the right next step is an appeal, a fresh application, or a different visa altogether.
Bring the refusal letter to your consultation.
No. The 30-minute consultation with a registered migration agent is free, with no obligation.
Our fee is agreed with you before any work begins: $4,850 excluding GST for the temporary stage, with the permanent stage quoted separately. There is no hourly billing and no charge for individual emails or calls.
If your partner visa application is refused, we refund 100% of the service fees you have paid to Skylark, not a portion of them.
The Department of Home Affairs application charge is separate. It is paid to the Australian Government, currently $11,710 for the main applicant, and cannot be refunded by any migration agent.
Processing times vary. Right now, 50% of Subclass 820 visas are processed within 18 months, 90% are processed within 32 months. 50% of Subclass 309 visas are processed within 17 months, 90% are processed within 30 months.
The permanent Subclass 801 and 100 visas are usually assessed two years after you apply, but you may be approved sooner if you meet certain criteria.
No. Evidence is assessed across four areas, and strength in one can offset gaps in another. What matters is that the overall picture is consistent and credible. Our job is to find what you do have, present it properly, and tell you what’s worth building before you lodge.
Usually yes, but your current visa affects both your timing and your options. You still need to continue adhering to the conditions (e.g. work and study) of the current visa.
Some visitor visas carry condition 8503 – ‘no further stay’, which prevents you from applying for most other visas while you are in Australia. It must be waived before you can lodge onshore. Student and working holiday visas generally do not carry it.
This is one of the first things we check in your consultation.
Yes. If you are outside Australia, the partner visa pathway is generally the subclass 309 leading to the subclass 100.
If you are engaged rather than married, the subclass 300 Prospective Marriage visa may apply instead. That one has to be applied for while you are outside Australia.
Your consultation will confirm which pathway fits.
It means the case officer could not decide on what was in front of them. You are given a deadline to respond, and your application waits until you do. It is not a refusal – but it commonly adds months as your application goes back in queue.
Lodging decision-ready is how you avoid it.
