Is it an advantage if you will be accompanied by your aussie bf to get an australian tourist visa?

Question

I am from the Philippines, my bf will be sponsoring my travel to Melbourne, his coming over next week and he said better yet wait for him and we both go to the Visa Immigration and application for a tourist visa, I have with me his Statutory declaration, Invitation and some valuable documents supporting me for my stay.Any idea if I can be granted or is it an advantage if my sponsor is with me when I apply?I appreciate any comment.Thank you and God bless!

Answer 1

None what so ever it's all about having the necessary paperwork.

Answer 2

No, the paperwork is what the authorities will be looking for. It may even make them wonder why you are applying for a tourist visa instead of trying to immigrate.
