Hi Guys, This is my first post in the forum I searched for my issue and couldn't find anything related. The details of my current situation are as below: I have a permanent residence visa for which last date of arrival is 12 September 2018. I came to Australia around two years ago with intentions of Immigrating but I had to leave the country shortly afterwards (less than two months) due to family commitment. So I don't think i meet the usually in Australia clause. Since then, I got married 16 months ago and moved to Saudi Arabia with my spouse for a job. Now I want to apply for 309. I emailed the embassy in Saudi Arabia, the agent didn't reply and told me on call that shes not sure about it We are both living together and want to move together Can I apply it before coming to Australia? My apologies for the long post, thanks for bearing with me
