Thanks Rupert, I think even if she applied for Partner visa, she will still get a BVC, which won't help. We have decided to wait for her case to be reviewed. Based on latest MRT process time, we are expecting it early-mid next year.

I don't think there is any restriction like this.

Thank you. still got a little confused here. As she is applying for 820 visa then get a BVC, is she eligible for Medicare? I thought Medicare is linked to the 820 rather than BVC. Second, how likely she can change over to BVB? or how good the reason needs to be?

Thanks, I just went to official website, I guess she can only get a BVC, which still won't allow leave Aus.

Hi all, Can anyone please advise what entitlement a bridging visa will give my gf if we got married and she applied for 820 visa? My girlfriend was applying for 457 visa on 2012 August, but it was declined due to employer's minor mistake. Then she appealed to MRT (Sep 2012), and currently hold Bridging visa E and expecting another 12 months for her case to be reviewed. She got work rights but not allowed to go overseas. I got my 885 granted a month ago, and we are thinking about getting married soon. Since she hasn't met her parents for over 24 months, she is now eager to go overseas for a visit (but the condition of Bridging E wan't allow). We would like to find out if we get married and apply for 820 visa, will she get: 1. work rights? 2. able to travel overseas on new bridging visa? 3. Medicare? Did anyone been through the similar process before? Many thanks.
