Hello! I bumped into this forum when doing some research on migrating to Australia and I am hoping to get some advice from you people...

My fiance who is a UK citizen who is working in US, and has recently got a job offer to work in an university in Australia starting Feb 2010, and is in the process of applying for a 457 visa. I am living in Hong Kong currently.

Initially we were planning to get married within the next year, but now we are wondering whether we should get married before he submits the application (with me as his secondary applicant -- which means we have to get married in the coming month or so). The second option would be for him to add me as his secondary applicant later next year after he arrives at Australia. Does anyone have similar experience? I am just wondering if it would take longer time to approve for the second option...

Any advices will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much,
Alice
