Partner Visa Sydney – Overview of Australian Spouse Visa

Image
Australia allows its citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their de-facto partners or spouses through various visa programs. A partner visa is one of them. Lately, if you’ve been thinking of calling your partner to reunite with them in Australia, here’s some helpful information concerning an Australia partner visa and its various benefits. What is Australia’s Partner Visa? Australia grants partner visas in a two-stage process. It involves giving a provisional visa first and then considering a permanent visa two years after the initial application. But the applicant doesn’t have to submit multiple forms. They can do it in a single application form and pay the fee only once. One can make applications while the applicant is in Australia (Subclass 820 & 801) or from outside Australia when the applicant is overseas at the time of application (Subclass 309 & 100). Applicants should show proof that supports the existence of their relationship with their partner. Your immi...

Visa Cancellation Character Matter Under Section 501

We recently acted for a client in a visa cancellation character matter under section 501 before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Our client had a substantial criminal history which included violent offences and incarceration. We appeared before the Tribunal and provided evidence that there were a number of mitigating circumstances including mental health issues, a history of domestic violence and a destructive family background. The Tribunal accepted that our client should be given a second chance and set aside the decision of the Department of Home Affairs. The general effect of a visa cancellation under character grounds is that the client would then be removed from Australia and would never be able to return again for any reason. By overturning this decision in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, we were able to provide our client with another chance to live in Australia permanently and be a law abiding individual with the support of the client’s Australian family.

Significant Changes to Onshore Partner Applications

  Onshore Visas The new changes prevent onshore applicants from remaining in Australia during the processing of the sponsorship application, unless they have a substantive visa sufficient in time to cover the processing period, as they will not be able to lodge the onshore application and thereby obtain a bridging visa to remain lawfully in Australia. Applicants who visit Australia on short-term visas may not be able to lodge applications onshore as the sponsorship application may not be approved before their visa expires. If the applicant is forced to depart and lodge the partner visa outside of Australia, they will be required to remain outside of Australia until the Partner Visa is granted. In short, these impeding changes significantly affect the ability of people to lodge partner visas in Australia as – people in Australia without visas will not be able to validly lodge a partner visa in Australia and must depart Australia to lodge , and people on visas in Australia that exp...

What happens when your visa is cancelled in Australia?

Under Australian migration law there are various visa cancellation powers available to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection when he is considering cancelling an Australian visa. Which cancellation power will be used, and the processes that attach to the cancelling of the relevant visa, will depend on the subclass of visa being considered for cancellation and your personal circumstances leading to the DIBP taking action to cancel the visa. Your visa may be cancelled for following reasons: 1. Breach of a visa condition (For example working without work rights or beyond your work limitation) 2. Ground up on which the visa was granted no longer exists (For example your employment has finished and you are on a 457 visa) 3. Change of circumstances (For example a relationship breakdown on a partner visa) 4. Providing false, misleading, incorrect information or bogus documents 5. Being of bad character (For example you have committed a criminal offence since your visa was gra...
