The dependent made a valid application for a different substantive visa on their own and was given a BVC based on that. We withdrew the application before we lodge our 186. The dependent is on BVC when we lodge, but will expire soon.

Thanks blossom79. The only problem is that the BVC is expiring at the end of the month and linked with other visa application. Pakcha.

Hi, I have lodged my subclass 186 visa last week with one primary applicant (myself) and three secondary applicants, while in Australia. One of the secondary applicants is on bridging visa C. Along with the acknowledgement letter, primary applicant and two secondary applicants were granted BVA but there was no mention of bridging visa to the third secondary applicant (who is on BVC). Documents regarding 186 visa says "you need to have a substantive visa or BVA or BVB or BVC to apply for 186 in Australia" and "if you have a BVA or BVC, you are usually granted BVC". We are a bit confused why the third secondary applicant has not yet been granted BVC and why it did not come through automatically with other BVAs or do you need to separately apply for it. I am just hoping someone in the forum would you be able to clarify this. Thanks. Pakcha
