Hello guys,
I am new to this forum and would just like to post a query here to get an expert advice from you people. I have Australian PR and I made an entry in Australia for around 15 days in June 2014. I live with my wife in Pakistan and I have plans to move to Australia permanently with my wife sometime in 2015 but obviously my wife doesn't have a visa so I need to apply a partner visa for her.
So, my question is that since I have spent only 15 days in Australia, will there be a problem if I apply a Partner visa for my wife. Secondly, in form 40SP, it states that if you are not residing in Australia then you need to tell them how you will meet your sponsorship obligations. I don't have a lot of savings or assets to show them but I want to apply for her now so that by the time I go to Australia and find a job there, I would be able to call her quickly without much delay since her VISA would already be in process.
Another thing is that my sister and brother-in-law are Australian citizens. So, can I get their statements which say that they would be supporting us initially after we move to Australia till the time we get a job? Will that be sufficient to fulfill the sponsorship obligation?
Please do reply ASAP. I am really worried about this and want to apply for my wife really soon.
Thanks
