I'm about to apply for my 820 (onshore), with the recent law changes I've got the following questions of anyone knows (the online articles are all out of date).
I'll be applying while on a 457.
Is still still possible to get BVA? If so, what are the usual work conditions?
If BVA is available, will it be cancelled if my 457 is cancelled? If so, can I quit, leave the country come bas as a tourist then apply for the 820 and get BVA with full work rights after the ETA tourist visa expires?
Does my Australian partner need approval to sponsor me? The immi website does not detail how this process works
We can evidence a relationship of at least 2 years, we have joint finances, a baby, a step child and a mortgage all in Australia and I am from a low risk country. Would this likely lead to our application being 'fast tracked' and can I progress straight to 801
I'll likely consult an immigration agent next week, I'm doing my research first though.
Thanks for your info!
