The employer needs some professional assistance to work through the various options. Depending on what actual occupation your partner has, and where the employer is located, there will be different options. There are currently three flavours of employer sponsored visa: 482, 494 and 186. There is plenty of info to get started on the Department’s website: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing

… but they do have a ‘special number’ they can call in Canberra. As everyone has said, the children can’t be denied entry to Australia, but the hassle factor of trying to do an undocumented uplift makes it not worthwhile given there is plenty of time for them to get passports.

The trip will be much simpler if you get them their Australian passports.

Are they ‘eligible’ for Australian citizenship or are they already Australian citizens? It makes a big difference.

AITSL’s website has a lot of info, but the key part is: Initial teacher education qualification requirement The study must include an initial teacher education qualification comparable to the educational level of an Australian Bachelor degree (Australian Qualifications Framework Level 7) or higher, which includes: i) at least 1 year full-time (or part-time equivalent) higher education (university) level study of Primary School Teacher initial teacher education ii) completion of at least 45 days of supervised teaching practice with students across the 5 to 12 years age range in a primary school setting*. not clear from your post whether this covers your qualifications…

It’s not clear what you are trying to do … what application are you trying to access? you won’t be able to ‘import’ their nomination application.

You will only get a bridging visa if you lodge a VISA application … you need to be invited to apply before you can do this. Lodging an EOI doesn’t get you a bridging visa.

Depends on what visa. An 18+ dependent is usually roughly half the primary applicant charge.

Get RRV and then apply for a partner visa for them is the simple answer. However, if you are offshore and don’t hold an RRV then you don’t “have PR”, you are a former permanent resident. Unless you meet the 2-year residence requirement for an automatic RRV, can apply for a new RRV on the basis of having substantial ties to Australia. Whether that is the case will depend on the circumstances. Some professional advice would probably be helpful to get you started … this will cost a small amount (couple of hundred $/£) compared to the $13,000+ the partner visa will cost for the family.

This just means what it says … do you have a second passport or other travel document (because, for instance, you have dual nationality). It’s not asking about visas.

@Alan Collett is your go-to guy for questions like this.

Yes you are.

I suggest you contact Raul or another registered migration agent for a consultation and talk this through in detail, as this may complicate matters.

Processing times are here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times Lower risk applications will be towards the shorter end, but variations can be hard to predict accurately. Don’t overthink the 651 application … she’s rather unlikely to meet a real human at immigration, which is generally just a machine.
