    Hello everyone, Can I get some guidance on my situation please. I have got an agent and I have received my invite for 190 NSW. My agent isn't that communicative and he's just told me I need AFP. I have applied both Australian and Indian Police Checks. As soon as my Australian Police check...

    So I'm doing more reading about what I'll need when eventually applying for a partner visa onshore and I've come across schedule 3. From what I've read about it, it seems like I wont have to worry about it in my case and my question may seem redundant, but I'm asking more for peace of mind...

    There is below question in the 820 TR stage 1. "Has the applicant lived separately and apart from the sponsor for any periods of time since committing to a shared life together to the exclusion of all others?" Since I have ticked yes for this question, I have to answer in detail why we were...

  8. Visas and immigration
    After nearly a year I now have my 820 provisional partner visa (yay!) and can apply for the 801 in about another year. Does that second stage (801) have to be applied for onshore as well, or can we be offshore (travelling) at the time? (hopefully, subject to the border actually being open by...

    Is there any way to change an existing offshore partner visa application to onshore, especially given the exceptional circumstances of Covid-19? Earlier this year we applied offshore for a 309/100 partner visa. Offshore was chosen as we still wanted/expected to be travelling and living in...

    Hi everyone I am wondering if you know whether I have to do health checks straight away for my Partner Visa 820? It says when I open my application "health checks required" and that visa could be refused if I don't do them I was told to do it 6 months or 12 months after lodging the visa...

    Hi, Does anyone have much experience with bridging visa B? My husband is on A and we are considering going overseas for work which would be a little longer than 3 months (6months to a year). Considering the waiting times I don't think there's a chance to have our 820 granted anytime soon as we...

    I am from the USA and planning on marrying an Aussie in the states, then travelling for a bit before we settle in Australia and apply for the 820 partner visa. I've read you can get the bridge visa after you apply for the 820, but your initial visa needs to be one that doesn't require you to...
