Hi all,
My official discharge date from the RAF is 04 Mar 18, however my last working day is 15 Dec 17, when we fly to Brisbane.
I have been told that my Partner Visa cannot be granted until Mar 18 (discharge date) and I will have to enter Australia on a different Visa (so I will be unable to work for 3-4 months), then leave for 5 days to have the Partner one issued.
I have had friends do this previously and they were granted visas before the official discharge date. Can any one shed any light on this please? I don't want to annoy my case officer by asking "are you sure you are correct?" Maybe there is some Gov policy somewhere I can look up?
Fingers crossed for some help!

Thanks for your response. That makes a lot of sense.
My friend and I are both Brits, married to Aussies, both applied for the same PR partner visa. He emigrated 2 years ago. His visa was granted with 3 months left of military service. Perhaps it's a change in policy? Who knows!
I don't expect anything for nothing but some guidance would be gratefully received.
