cherrygn Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi all, just a quick question, hopefully someone can shed some light to this maybe stupid question, thank you in advance. I am currently sponsoring my partner for the 820 partner visa. My parents also intend to move to AU to live here. Would I be able to sponsor them? Or the five years sponsorship restriction also apply to non-partner sponsorship visa? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parent visas are entirely separate and sponsoring your partner won't affect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Although you cannot sponsor them until you have been settled in Australia for two years, also assuming they meet the balance of family test and other criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rammygirl, thank you for the information. I got my PR in Feb 2014 and citizenship in Dec 2015. So does it start counting from Feb 2014? Thank you again!

rammygirl Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The two years starts from when you settled in Australia, when did you arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherrygn Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 The two years starts from when you settled in Australia, when did you arrive? 2008? When I was doing my study, Melbourne is my place of usual residence since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
