Hi Captain, This is for a 186 visa through direct entry (so no EOI and no invitation involved)
-
Hi everyone, a friend of mine is applying for PR under the direct entry stream but his visa in expiring soon and he needs to apply before it does, so he can get a bridging visa. Can he apply for PR and then add the IELTS subsequently as an additional document when he gets the result? Can he do the same with his wife's IELTS? Thanks!

PR dilemma! WHV at the moment. Is 3 a crowd?
AusExpat replied to FutureAussie2015's topic in Visa Chat
First of all, a skilled visa takes months to get granted, if not years. Second, you don't know what rights you will be given on a BV. No matter what the agent says, what matters is what you actually get from immigration. Countless stories here of people who said "Oh, but my agent said..." and then something did not go as planned. You really want to be on a BV for so much time, knowing that you might, for any reason, get a negative outcome and having to leave in 28 days? While you have a baby? If you guys have the money (lucky you!) to support 3 people with just 1 job (I doubt you'll find a good paying job while you are evidently pregnant), pay a skilled visa application for 2/3 people, pay rent and cost of living for three etc., manage to get a positive skill assessment, medical for you two and IELTS (AND all the other documents required), all of this while far from home and, I guess as all us expats here, no help from the family... go ahead then! But if even one of these conditions does not apply to you, then I would consider that you are putting yourself in the condition of being responsible for a child, not just yourself. -

It's incredible, they are questioning something they shouldn't be doing at this stage! In TRT stream you already had a 457 for 2 years which means that at the time you fulfilled all the requirements! This upsets me a little bit honestly.

Hi @DanniB, thanks for the update. Do you know if it was a single application, if it was HR or LR Country, Direct Entry or Transition, and which processing centre? I will update the spreadsheet counting her as external. Thanks!
