Your strategy call confirms the suitable pathway, what is included and whether the matter can be offered at the published fixed fee.
For couples who want Salvo to prepare, lodge and manage the agreed first-stage partner visa work.
For couples who need a coordinated Visitor Visa application and partner visa preparation pathway.

Provide passports for all applicants and sponsors so we can confirm identities at the outset.
We collect the information needed for the visa application and sponsorship forms.
Prepare the couple's relationship statements and ask suitable witnesses to draft their Form 888 statements.
With the story understood, we identify and organise the financial, household, social and commitment evidence. We give tailored recommendations as well as the standard evidence types usually expected in partner visa matters.
Most of the preparation happens hereWe review the evidence, statements and drafted forms, give final recommendations and request the Home Affairs application charge and any professional balance not covered by an agreed instalment plan before submission.
We collect the relevant facts and documents, prepare the subclass 600 application and lodge it under the agreed scope.
The Visitor Visa outcome and the applicant's circumstances inform which partner visa pathway is appropriate.
We request remaining items and recommend improvements to the forms, statements and relationship evidence.
We complete the legal review and request the partner visa application charge and any remaining professional fees not covered by an agreed instalment plan.
We lodge the appropriate partner visa application when ready, then continue the agreed representation.
Important: A Visitor Visa grant and a particular partner visa pathway are never assumed. We confirm the next step from the actual outcome, applicant location and current facts.
We keep you informed about Home Affairs updates, address requests for information within the agreed scope, and work with you to keep the application current until the relevant decision.
When Home Affairs makes the relevant decision, we let you know promptly and explain the next steps. If the visa is approved, we celebrate with you and the people you choose to tell. With your permission, your de-identified journey may become another Salvo success story.

It is not a promise of approval, and eligibility and conditions are confirmed before engagement.

The standard structure is 75% of the professional fee to begin and the remaining 25% at partner visa lodgement. In some cases, we may agree in writing to 50% initially and the final 50% before lodgement or through a typically six-month weekly or monthly card instalment plan. Flexible terms are discretionary; the signed agreement and invoices control the actual amounts and dates.
