Legal assistance for migration issues

Need an annulment? Problems with illegal documents?

Disclaimer: Neither the principals or any staff members of Down Under Visa are attorneys or lawyers in the Philippines, nor do they ever claim to be.

However, they have a network of Philippines-registered attorneys who can assist in legal issues that must be dealt with under Philippines Law. And these are trusted and efficient legal specialists who will not take advantage of your Westerner Dollars.

♦ Annulments - There is no legal divorce in the Philippines. They have Family Law specialist attorneys who can take care of this for you. They can save you time and money, as well as uncertainty.

♦ Fake documents? Surprisingly common in the Philippines. Actual fake papers, or just wrong information entered at the time for a variety of reasons. They can help you to sort these out, and to get you back on the track of applying for an Australian visa.

And note, we insist that our Attorney colleagues do things by the book, as the Department and the Embassy take a very dim view of fake documents. Don't risk quick-fixes! They will invariably come back and bite you!

Tell them what your problem is, and be pleasantly surprised.

Private Investigation

If you're not 100% sure you're getting the whole story

They can provide the services of a Private Investigator in the Philippines to check out your girl, and/or her family. The investigator is a former US Government official, who uses a network of off-duty security personnel to do the legwork. It's a very efficient service, and 100% discrete.

♦ Not sure if you're getting the whole story?

♦ Not sure if she's actually single, or studying the course she said she is, or if she's living where she says she is?

♦ Want to take the plunge, but you have some niggling doubts?

Let them know, and they can help you!

Relationship Advice

Not sure of what you're doing and need some help?

Jeff and Mila Harvie are great problem-solvers.

♦ Jeff has had over a decade of experience with Filipino culture and with relationships with Filipinas, and he has many years experience both as a migration consultant and as a business management consultant. He also has many years experience being married to a Filipina, and has a wealth of experience in solving relationship problems for migration clients. He's a great listener, and very good at explaining things in ways that ordinary people can understand.

♦ Mila was born and raised in the Bicol region of the Philippines. She's a former school teacher and former OFW, as well as having taken the plunge of marrying a strong-willed Australian man and living in Australia for many years. She has a heart of gold, combined with a no-nonsense instinct for seeking out the truth. She's particularly good at dealing with problems with Filipinas, especially at getting them to open up about what is truly bothering them.

So if you're having problems, concerns and misunderstandings, why not engage their help rather than tossing away an otherwise great relationship?
