Hello Crinzel,

We can't explain the entire visa application process here. It would take too much space, and it would not be fair to you or to the end results of your application to try. It would be like emailing your doctor and asking "please explain how to operate on my appendix".

I strongly suggest that you and your husband contact a Registered Migration Agent, and we can help you with your application. Applications through Manila are notoriously difficult and there are high refusal rates. Better to get a professional to help you.

We have an office in Muntinlupa City (Metro Manila) as well as Brisbane. Happy to help. Please check our website and fill in the partner visa assessment form? http://www.downundervisa.com.au/page9/Partner.php

is it better to lodge our application in Australia?

If you're in the Philippines (which it sounds like you are?), then you have no choice. You must lodge in Manila.
