Hi everyone,
I would like to seek some advice on what I should do.
My wife is an Australian PR but we are currently living in Singapore (we are Singaporeans and have been living here in the last 7 years).
We have 2 children.
We decided that we want to move back to Australia to raise our kids (we met in Sydney while we were both working there 10 years ago).
My wife recently applied for her RRV 155 and it got approved for 1 year.
I am looking to apply for the Partner Visa 309 for myself and my kids with my wife being the sponsor.
What I'm concerned about is the eligibility of my wife as our sponsor since she hasn't been "usually living in Australia".
And also, we would be moving there without a job but we have quite a bit of savings to tide us through until she finds a job. Would that count as having the ability to sponsor me and the kids?
Is it worthwhile for me to apply for the visa now?
Or should i wait till we move over and she finds a job, we find a house to live in before applying?
Also is it advisable if we apply visa for our children first (separately from the partner visa) so that they can stay in Australia with their mother?
Thank you and regards,
Stan
