Oz perm resident looking to sponsor de-facto partner to Oz? |
Travel Info Hi, I live in London and hold an Australian permanent resident visa. It was granted on Apr 1 2003 and runs out on Apr 1st 2008. I have not lived in Oz since getting my visa (I did validate it though) due to family problems. Do you need to have been living in Oz for at least 2 years in order to qualify to sponsor a partner to join you? I keep getting conficting information. Some people say that I can sponsor my boyf since I still hold a valid visa. Other migrationg lawyers say that I can't since I have not proven my commitment to Oz by living there for 2 years. Anyone been in a similar situation? Travel Tips Hi, I'm an Aussie who hasnt lived in Australia for over 20 yrs. I hold both a uk passport and an aussie passport. I've just sponsored my partner of 13yrs. Your best bet is to contact the Australian Embassy in London. They have been realy helpful as it's not been an easy task filling out forms for my partner. They have an e-mail address which they respond realy quickly to. London.cc@dfat.gov.au Good luck! Others as you have not been living in oz you are not entitled to sponser anyone and you will have trouble renewing your visa |
