Hi everyone,
I am on a student visa since Feb 18 and have previously been on a de facto visa 820/801.
I had already applied for PR but the relationship ended and my ex-partner wanted out of the situation. I withdrew the visa in Dec 17.
My new partner is on a sponsorship visa 457 and has suggested for me to jump on his visa as a partner once my visa runs out next March 19.
I just talked to a laywer and he said it’s not possible to add a partner to a visa, however I have heard different from other sources.
Do you know anything about this and also if there is a restriction in regards to defacto visas?
The lawyer said that for the regular partner visa 820/801with a PR or citizen there is a 5 year restriction, valid from the date you first applied until the date the new visa is granted. I applied in 2014.
Thank you so much in advance!!
Sorry for the massive text! 😊
