Hi
I have recently got married, my wife lives in Dubai, UAE. I work and live in Perth Australia. Our marriage was an arranged marriage, i've known my wife since 25 June 2017, we got engaged on 18/08/2018. I moved to Australia on 12/09/2017. We got married on 07/04/2018. I wanted to lodge the 309 Partner Overseas visa for my wife, but the migration office advised me not to as I cannot prove any financial nor household. I have many pictures, call logs, mutual friends, etc.. and i can prove all that; but we never lived in one house because it was not possible before marriage. Now I'm in Australia and she is living with her parents in Dubai. What should I do in this case? Shall i lodge my 309 with whatever proof I have? Or is there any other way (maybe tourist visa then she can apply for the 820 once she's here? but there is no guarantee she will get the tourist visa with no restrictions...)..
Please advise,
Thank you
Ahmad
