Today we share a typical "high-risk 590 Guardian Visa" case that succeeded through precise strategy and a complete evidence chain.

The applicant was a single divorced mother planning to accompany her 7-year-old daughter to Sydney for primary school, with a prior tourist visa refusal history.

From an immigration perspective, this profile easily raises suspicions of "whole-family migration intent." Yet ultimately, both her and her daughter's 590 Visas were approved smoothly.

Applicant Background

Applicant Z was a domestically certified cost engineer whose sole purpose for applying was to accompany her daughter to primary school in NSW. The child, only 7 years old, is a highly dependent minor requiring constant care.

Our Strategy: Crafting a Compelling GTE

Since the GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) statement was crucial, we first emphasized the purpose and rationale for coming to Australia:

The young child needs an adult guardian

Strong emotional dependence on the mother

Significant transition in educational environment requiring stable companionship

The purpose is not personal benefit but fulfilling maternal responsibilities

We built a strong educational motivation with details targeting "school choice合理性":

Australian primary schools emphasize holistic development

Educational methods encourage creativity and confidence

Complements China's "exam-oriented" system

The child personally desired an international learning environment

We incorporated the applicant's genuine experience visiting Australian schools in 2024, enhancing credibility (despite one prior tourist visa refusal, we successfully secured her second 600 visa subsequently).

Highlight 1: Demonstrated Financial Capacity

The applicant's financial situation was exceptionally stable:

Personal savings exceeding AUD 340,000

Ex-spouse (daughter's father) with funds over AUD 120,000

Financial products valued over AUD 170,000

Ongoing rental income in China

All clearly presented in the GTE, eliminating concerns about "cost-of-living risks."

Highlight 2: Unique Home Country Ties

Home country ties are a primary reason for refusals of Australian tourist, student, and guardian visas. Beyond managing domestic rental properties, we provided a powerful reason for return:

The applicant has a 16-year-old son currently in a critical academic phase—Grade 11, preparing for college entrance exams. Any school transfer or disruption at this stage would be impossible.

While the son receives daily care from his father and grandparents, the applicant explicitly committed to returning during holidays to care for him, balancing time between both children. Despite the marital breakdown, she demonstrated long-term family responsibility and deep bonds with relatives in China.

Upon reviewing this, the case officer naturally concluded: This is an applicant who will return on time.

Key to 590 Visa Success

Success doesn't depend on "quantity of documents" but rather:

Risk anticipation

Logical construction

Situation breakdown

Evidence presentation

Documentation strategy

 

Through a logically rigorous, step-by-step GTE that clearly addressed risks, we successfully convinced the officer: This is simply a responsible mother, not a potential immigrant.

Many don't realize that 590 visa assessments are stricter than student visas, especially for:

Divorced parents

Single mothers

Applicants with prior refusals

Those with significant fund fluctuations

Individuals without overseas experience

These are all "high-risk red flags."

This case was specifically designed to counter these risks—with precise documentation, self-consistent logic, and leak-proof materials. The process required no additional information requests, and both the 500 and 590 visas were granted in just 1.5 months!
