Hi everyone My English fiance and I are currently in the process of planning his permanent migration to Australia. We are so excited! We have been living together for approximately 2.5 years so easily meet the 12 month threshold for de facto in Australia. However, we are also getting married on 28 January 2017 (so exciting!). Our initial plan was to get married and then submit the partner visa, which of course is sensible. There is a bit of a complication, though, which is that he is on a working holiday visa which has a 6 month work restriction. However, he has been offered permanent full-time work with his current employer, which we are extremely keen to take up. Unfortunately, however, his 6 months is up about 4 weeks before his WHV visa expires. Here's a timeline: WHEN WE NEED TO APPLY FOR WAIVER: 1 January 2017 6 MONTHS IS UP: 15 January 2017 WEDDING: 28 January 2017 EXPIRY OF WHV/BEGINNING OF BVA: 15 February 2017 We have seen that it is possible to apply for a waiver of this condition, however you need to have already submitted your application to get it. So, we wondered if it would be possible to submit our partner visa application with all the evidence from our de facto relationship, and including all of the other info such as the notification of intent to marry, wedding plans, etc, and then update our application once we have been married? We are really desperate for him to keep this job as it will make all of the difference to our future together. Thank you in advance!
