How long does it take to process a graduate visa?
Processing times range from 4 to 8 months, depending on the stream and document completeness.
Can I travel while my 485 visa is being processed?
Yes, but it is best to consult with us before traveling to ensure there are no issues with your Bridging Visa.

Absolutely! We assist families with Tourist Stream Visitor Visas, including documentation and application guidance.
