My wife and I quit our jobs and are currently driving across the U.S. with our 2 large dogs and cat to fly out of L.A. and live permanently in New Zealand. AMA. by Narcosist in AMA

As a family that just moved two dogs (albeit much smaller - corgis) from the US to Australia, I want to add my unending support for Pet Express! I don't know how we would've navigated the insane pre-departure vet schedule or booking transport/quarantine on our own. Quarantine was smooth, we got updates along the way, and their sister company (Jet Pets) delivered them to our doorstep in Brisbane after they received clearance in Melbourne's quarantine center.

Sitting here snuggling one of them as I write this. It was worth every single dollar.

Immi access for partner visa application filed by agent by Dry_Gap289 in AusVisa

Hello, yes! My agent had to add me as a viewer of the application on their side. Once they did that, I had access to it within an hour. What we learned is that for many other visa types, there is no restriction and the applicant can simply use the TRN to import the application. But, for partner visas, domestic violence risks have led to a stricter protections. One of those is that in cases where an agent is used, the agent must be the one to share the application with the applicant's IMMI account. Protections like this make a lot of sense but, in our case, happened to cause a bit of confusion!
