@wrussell Thanks for the information. It's the only choice that we have since I have to spend the upcoming semester abroad and obviously, I would use that opportunity to study in Australia. But I'm sure that the department of immigration can look into my visa history. I have entered multiple times on a WHS and many tourist visas.

@wrussell Why would it raise a red flag?

@snifter When I say boyfriend I mean partner (yes we are serious and intending on getting married). I have been living with him whenever I had the chance to get back to Melbourne which would be over 12 months, it will be a bit hard to prove it but we definitely have witnesses and shared finances. We have a shared bank account as well and I will live with him again during my study semester in Melbourne. Yes, that's right, I will be on the student visa within Australia when I will lodge the application so wouldn't that technically mean that I would be eligible to apply for the BVB? Do you know where can I find these migration agents on this website?

Helly everyone, I am quite new to this and was wondering if someone could help with my case. I am from Germany and have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 4 years now. I am currently studying in the Netherlands and will apply for a student visa for the semester of (July-December). In the meantime, we want to lodge the partner visa application, so that when the student visa ends I would be on a Bridging Visa A with the right to work. Part of my study is to also do an internship, however, I have already used my working holiday visa and getting a temporary activity visa with my history of entries into Australia would be quite hard which is why I'm hoping that the bridging visa A would suffice in that case. The internship goes for 5 months (January-May) and I need to be back in the Netherlands in September for 5 months to finish my studies. Would that be a compelling reason to get the Bridging Visa B and would they allow me to leave Australia for this amount of time? Thanks so much in advance
