I'm not up on visas at all these days but I don't understand why at your age (24) you are dependent on your Mum.  If you have unlimited work rights on the 445 visa why aren't you working?  Why are you dependent on your Mum?  I'm sure there is a logical reason but I don't understand what it is.

I was 23, studying Law full time, no work, no kids, not married. Based on visa 445 if you’re 18-25 but financially dependent to sponsor, you are still dependent. Now i was granted with the visa. I came here in Australia and jointly lodged my mum’s 801 permanent partner visa supplemental documents. With my visa, I have unlimited work rights. But the question is, do I still need to prove dependency?

I just checked VEVO. Yep, it is clearly stated UNLIMITED work rights.

In your original post you say your mother holds the 820 visa, and your 2nd post says you don't have to prove dependency if the primary applicant holds the 801 visa.  So it sounds like until your mother is granted her 801 visa, you still need to prove dependency.

pls add your opinion ma’am

You cannot file a 445 visa when the mother already holds the 801 visa. It should be filed during 820 visa before the decision on the 801 visa. 

I have raised this concern to two migrant agents and they both explained that the provision means that I don’t have to prove dependency in the 801 visa application stage.

Once my mother is granted the 801 visa, the officers will no longer assess the dependency requirement. It is true that my mum is currently holding the 820 but we are on the 801 assessment stage already. Once a decision is made on her 801 visa, nothing required me to further prove dependency. The officers will just consider that I hold the 445 visa and that is enough. Stated otherwise, I have already proved the dependency when I applied for 445. Now, I have the same rights with my mum in her 820 after the grant of 445. 

Second opinion

My agent did his research. I dont have to prove dependency any more. 

16      Time of decision criteria
16.1      No need to assess dependency or membership of the family unit 

Provided the primary applicant has been granted their BS-801 visa, nothing requires an applicant seeking to satisfy the secondary criteria to still be a member of the family unit of, or dependent on, the primary  applicant at time of BS-801 decision. Therefore, officers do not need to assess either member of the family unit or dependency requirements.

An applicant seeking to satisfy the secondary criteria must satisfy one of the following: 

    they hold a TK-445 or UK-820 visa on the basis of being the member of the family unit or dependent child of a TK-445 or UK-820 visa holder and that person (that is, the primary applicant) has been granted a BS-801 visa - see801.321(a)(i)"

I was 23 applied offshore when I applied for Extended Eligibility Dependent Child Visa 445. I have proved that I am dependent with my mum (820 visa holder) and step dad. Hence, my dependent child visa 445 got approved last January 2018. I went here in Australia and applied for 801 visa with my mum last February 2018.

Under my visa 445, I have FULL and UNLIMITED work rights and study rights.

QUESTION: Do I still need to prove dependency? Or am I allowed to work?

PS. I emailed to Victoria Partner Visa Processing and asked this query. They just said that I have no visa restrictions/conditions.

My mum's partner visa 820/801 application was lodged last January 2015.

Her 820 visa was granted last August 2016. We did not know that we dont have to wait anymore for the notification of Home Affairs when to submit documents for 801.

I applied for my Dependent Child visa 445 (because my mum is still on 820) and my 445 visa was granted on January 2018.

We both lodged a joint application for 801 (with me being her dependent child) on February 2018.

QUESTION: Will our 801 visa application be denied for the late submission of 801 documents?

(the current rule is after 2 years after filing of 820, the 801 documents should be submitted. We submitted ours on February 2018)

I am 24 years old and I have been granted with Extended Eligibility Dependent Child Visa 445 after I have proven to immigration that I am fully financially dependent with my mum. Now, I am in Australia and we lodged our application for Permanent Partner Visa 801.

Under vevo, my visa grants me UNLIMITED work rights and study rights.

Question: Can I work? OR should I still prove dependency status (financially dependent) while awaiting for the 801 decision?

Thank you.
