Chillers

I've been on so many bridging visa's including a BVB for when i flew back to the UK last year that i've actually forgotten which BV i'm on, i've read the description of the BVE and seems to be correct. Although the current average wait time for the MRT is 2.5 years. You are also correct about being unable to travel, work and everything else. From what i've been told by my immigration lawyer I will be able to re-enter and await the decision whether this be by bridging visa or tourist visa, i don't know. I was also aware of the 6 months but i wanted to be over the top on evidence to eliminate the risk of being refused again. I'm keen not to remain off shore as i will be flying to NZ and lodging the application there, i'm hoping that it shouldn't take more than a week to get everything approved (BV that is), although i'm sure it would make way for a nice holiday.

I imagine it would be a bridging visa (the same as what im on now), an immigration lawyer advised me of this information. The main issue is that this bridging visa only allows for one application to be processed as a time so i would have to leave and re-enter under a different bridging visa. As for tax returns to this address that's not possible as I am currently unable to work as-per conditions of my current bridging visa and i'm also not on the lease as proof of income was required and with the rental market already being a nightmare in Sydney we could not risk me being added in fear of us not getting an apartment but we do have a the joint account and proof of rent payments. Another thing i forgot to mention is that we both have our names on Internet, Telstra, gas and Electricity bills. My situation is a very peculiar one.

Hi all, I came out to Australia about 2.5 years back on a sponsorship, unfortunately it fell through and I was declined i did however appeal this decision which has given me time to look at other alternatives. In that time I have met my girlfriend who is also out here on a 457 Sponsorship, we have moved in together and have been transferring rent from each of our own accounts into one joint account which our rent is paid from. We have lived together for nearly a year (that we can prove) and have been gathering evidence of holidays, cards, gifts and pictures etc. As I understand it if I was to be added onto her already existing 457 visa this would be called a 457 Dependant? A few things that i have been made aware of but i'm not 100% accurate on is: As I am currently on an appeal and on a bridging visa i must leave the country in order to lodge a 457 Dependant visa, I am however allowed to fly back to await the decision. If you believe this to be wrong please let me know. Here is a list of the things that I will need: A letter from her work place acknowledging me as an addition to her 457 Sponsorship. Proof of at least 12 months that we are in a long term and committed relationship Banks statements from all our accounts, Proof of holidays Gift Cards to one another Pictures of us together. Car insurance documents naming me as nominated driver of her vehicle. Proof of health cover Is there anything that I'm missing that I could add as I've not had much luck with visa's the past couple of years. Will I also need a medical and will i need to provide a CRB check? Thanks in advance.
