Hi everyone,
My partner had her 485 visa application refused for not having a positive skills assessment, and after an unsuccessful MRT, her bridging visa is due to expire on the 18th of March (one week from tomorrow!)
Her bridging visa is a WB / 020, where the travel period expired last month (she travelled home for Christmas and was granted a BVB to do so).
Do you think that if she leaves by the 18th of March that she can apply for an eVisitor from New Zealand right away? We're concerned about the short time period of applying for another temporary visa, as well as whether the refused 485 will cause any issues.
Please help! This forum has been an amazing resource, and we almost made the mistake of applying for a BVE (since we're currently applying for ministerial intervention), but it was only through this forum that we found out that leaving on a BVE would cause a 3 year exclusion period on temporary visas!!
many thanks
