Hi Forum members,

Newbie here

I'm an Australian citizen married to a US citizen. I'm planning to start our permanent partner visa application in February 2019. My husband and I have been in a long distance relationship (on and off) since 2008 but got married in May 2016.
In May 2019, we will be married for a total of 3 years.

I have lived in the US with my husband for a total of 2 years and 5 months. I returned to Australia in August 2018 as we both agreed for me to take a better job opportunity here in Australia. In February 2019 it will be 6 months since we have been living apart. Husband wants to permanently join me here in Australia in February.

My question is do we qualify for a permanent partner visa since we have now lived apart for almost 6 months?
Should we wait and apply for the permanent partner visa in May 2019 when we are going to be married for 3 years?

Many thanks in advance, any help/clarification would be very much appreciated.

Provided you have good relationship evidence, I’d apply as soon as possible.

Yes that is usual. The grant for the 100 from eligibility date can commonly be around and greater than 12 months
