Hi guys, we just applied for the 820 partner visa and the department gave me a BVC- no work rights. even though I held a BVA with work rights before lodging the 820 application. now I'm thinking of applying work rights on BVC but how go about it. my partner is Australian citizen and works full time as an RN. Any kind of help is much appreciated. thank you very much.

yes I'm aware but I haven't go that stage yet. when I applied for the partner visa they rejected it saying I didn't supply two 888 forms even when I did. do you have any tips on of this ? thanks

so the story is that I met my Australian partner almost 18 months ago. but I didn't want to apply partner visa as I was eligible for 190 visa but when I went to see a lawyer they I couldn't apply for any visa other than partner bcos my application extend my previous visa was refused. so we applied for partner visa 3 days before my BVA was expiring. I was thinking they would grant me a BVA as my previous visa was BVA but they didn't. we have submitted all the document except international police clearance and medical. and are trying to get working rights back. wish me luck.

PS. my first 820 application wasn't refused it was "invalid".

yeah just because of 888 forms even when they were there. and even my lawyer said he has never seen something like this before. if anyone have any tips on how to make the application stronger, please post. all sorts help is much appreciated.
