Agreed - they do not appear to be MARA registered.

Hasn't the age limit for Irish and Canadians gone upto 35 for a whv? Or did I misread this somewhere? Yes it has...

For a 187 visa: - you must be nominated by an Australian employer - you will work for your nominating employer in regional Australia - your occupation must be on the relevant list of eligible skilled occupations (and you may need a skills assessment)

The "turned around at the border" issue is addressed in two other threads today: In terms of the way forward, based on your timeline, the 309/100 route would seem like the best option.

Based on what you have written, I would strongly recommend you get some professional assistance before you go too much further with this.

Cumulative within the 5 year period immediately before you apply.

To answer the above questions: - yes, you can apply at any time, but in your case there is no point until you have spent 2 years in total here, as you would actually shorten your travel period if you applied now. - no, but until you have you will only get a one year RRV, which would be pointless. - yes - you count the actual number of days you were physically in Australia. When you get to 730, that's 2 years - if you meet the 2 years in 5, then 5 years. If not, 1 year. As mentioned by @ali it would be worth you running your scenarios by an RMA to make sure you fully understand how this works.

You understand correctly. Technically, it's "substantial business, cultural, employment or personal ties with Australia which are of benefit to Australia".
-
It depends - some countries do require an official request. Others do not.

Your bridging visa grant letter will tell you exactly what conditions are on it. If you have a bridging visa based on your application for a partner visa there should be nil conditions.

Agreed. I look at it this way: there are many things you can do yourself if you do the research and planning, perhaps change a tap, install a satellite dish, file your tax return, apply for a visa etc etc. Sometimes, though, the peace of mind, and the saved time, that comes from using a professional is money well spent.

Based on your other posts, he is offshore and, as you say, his visa has expired. So, yes, he has no visa and that is what will show in VEVO.

Working Holiday visa 'cancelling out' 309
paulhand replied to amandahughes's topic in Family / Partner Visas
I agree that is what they mean, although the chances would be small given the processing timelines. There are a number of ways to approach this and it would probably pay to discuss the specifics of your case with a Registered Migration Agent to make sure you go down the most efficient path. -
Victoria state nomination commitment
paulhand replied to Sarathkumar's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
What you committed to is: that you and any of your dependants must live in Victoria for the first two years of your visa. This two-year period begins when you enter Australia permanently on the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), or if you are already onshore, when your visa is granted by the Department of Home Affairs. It’s not mandatory to continue to work in your nominated occupation. -
One year ... the 3 month one is a different animal all together...
-
In this scenario the 2017 trip doesn’t actually reset the 5 year clock, as it is based on the last exit date as a PR.
-
It is actually on the list of additional occupations for the NT DAMA.
-
The 2 years is in the law. If you have spent 730+ days in Australia in the previous 5 years, you are granted a 5 year RRV. If less, you can still be granted a one year RRV if you demonstrate substantial ties to Australia, which are of benefit to Australia. If you come back for the last 30 or so days that will make things much easier.
-
There are no definites, but as @Amber Snowball says you have probably reached the point where you need some professional advice.

Conditions of BVA visa when moving from 417 to 820
paulhand replied to MorganHarris96's topic in Family / Partner Visas
As above: 1. Yes, unrestricted - partner application BVs have nil conditions. 2. Usually instantly. -
It is no longer published policy. I would run your dates through the citizenship calculator to see (and if you are worried, you can request a movement report from the Department).
-
It’s the same as the ATO, using Canberra time, but I would never cut it so fine that it matters.
