Hi All

If you have not read it from 1 July 2018 those applying for partner visas the sponsor will need to be approved before applying.

How much will this affect the people going for PMV?
will it be alot harder?
this is really frustrating as my partner and I have been getting ready for PMV and now there are more changes....

I know this was a plan, but is it set up yet?

Think this will lead to further delays for those of us that have already applied?

The news article indicates it will be from 1 July 2018 but I don't know if they have it set up or not.

My understanding is it will affect those who previously have applied with only a short time before the current visa expires. It will be interesting to see how long the sponsorship approval takes and if there is any bridging visa for while they wait for the approval of not as this may affect the people applying onshore.

That's what I was wondering too. I had a peak this last night and only saw skilled visas listed.

Granted I've only been in Australia for a few days and I'm still getting over jetlag, I'm interested to see how this all plays out and if it will come to effect second stage Visa applications.

I doubt it. Remember, second stage isn't an application, just an assessment to see if the relationship has continued.

Curious as to how this will affect an 820/801 coming from a PMV 300. As I the sponsor have already been approved, but then again the 820/801 is technically a new application. Kinda confusing how it will work.

300 approved already, fiance moves to Oz next month and then will apply for the 820/801 after she lands in August.

How will this affect timing of the 820 application? My partner will need a BVA shortly as her 457 runs out.

If there's a big delay in the 820 being submitted because of waiting for me to get approved as a sponsor, then this will be an issue.

Yes, it could become very problematic for onshore applicants on temporary visas and that may well be the intention.

Not sure this is actually in place yet. The bill to implement the changes is still on the Senate list of bills to discuss and next Senate sitting is not until sometime in August...

Moral of the story: if you meet the requirements for an onshore partner visa application now, don't wait...

 

[peach2310]

I can't find anything on the official immigration website for 820 visa. I assume this is just a proposal for the time being?

As CCMS has said if you qualify now for the 820, it is a risk to delay applying.

If you do get effected you might be forced to apply for a Bridging Visa E & need to meet Schedule 3.

My wife applied partner visa online on 4th JulY and acknowledgement received on 5th July. This means it is not in effect as I didn't require to be approved as sponsor. Also I went for medicare and got straight way today for her. Thanks , it is badly needed for her !!

You've already lodged so it's not really relevant to you, is it? If the new procedure was in place, you wouldn't have been able to lodge your application.

As it is now , they require police certificates for the sponsor, before they will assess your application.

Great news, my partner just needs to complete his 40sp now. Thanks you
