Do it yourself visa applications are less likely to be approved. Australian Immigration law is a complex area and applications that are self-prepared often come up short on appropriate evidence.
Do it yourself jobs
Some things you can do it yourself in life. Like building a new outdoor barbecue or retro painting an old chair. It might look a little clumsy but no-one is going to mind. Some things though, would look much better done by a professional. Unfortunately, perception is everything when people don’t know you personally. Sadly, people still judge a book by its cover especially when they have not met you and are just going on paper work.
Don’t do it yourself
I had an inside paint job in my home, that I thought would look good with a tidy up. I decided it was a good idea to do a ‘Do it yourself’ painting. The walls were a little chipped and needed a bit of care. I even went so far as to buy new brushes and a brand new tin of paint. Then I spent three hours painting the wall. It was going to be a feature wall and it was going to really tie the room together. The results – total nightmare.
Lesson Learnt
It was so awful because I did not know what I was doing. The paint dripped onto the carpet, the wall colour was horrible with everything else in the room. I had to pay a professional to repaint it back to its original colour. He took one look at it and said kindly-“I get a lot of Do it Yourself do overs’. The painter took twenty minutes to do a job I had spent all day on. Lesson learnt!
