820help

Hi all My husband (sponsor for my 820/801 visa application) has recently had Australian police clearance done by his new employer. It is a National Police Certificate which states: General Purpose / Standard Disclosure Name Check Only. Can you confirm if I can use this certificate and upload it for my visa application purposes? Many thanks in advance Anna

Thank you Paul. I will provide the form to explain the mistake in the main application. Could you advise how I should go about question 17 in form 80 regarding address history. They ask to provide all temporary accommodation but I really can't remember the addresses or dates when I was staying there.

Hi all 2 days ago I submitted my application for Partner visa 820/801. I’m currently uploading my evidence. While completing my form 80 I realised I missed one international travel in the main application as for some reason I thought it was over 10 years ago. I travelled around one country for about 8 months in 2010/2011. I was staying at friends houses/summer houses. I can’t really remember when and where I stayed at that time. Can you advise how I should add this to the application? Shall I write an additional statement stating I was travelling around and visiting friends? Do you think they will require specific dates and addresses where I was staying during that time? Thank you in advance

The link below outlines spouses can apply for a visa the apply for an exemption would that mean I could still apply for the evisitor600 then apply for the exemption to travel as I am a spouse of an austrlian passport holder? https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/departmental-forms/online-forms/covid19-enquiry-form

Hi all Thanks for your comments and advice. I'm aware the time is not perfect, but we need to go back to Australia due to a sick family member (cancer). Applying for the partner visa offshore is not an option as we can't wait for 12-18 months in the UK while we wait for the visa to be processed. We need to be back in Australia by July at the latest. We understand the economy is not great and there may be minimal employment opportunities but we have savings to support ourselves for a long time should we not find employment. We also have no mortgage etc. Thus, financially we can demonstrate we have the means to support ourselves. Would you be able to clarify whether the eVisitor visa is still in use or is the Visitor Visa (subclass 600) the only option currently to enter the UK with the aim of then applying for the 820 bridging visa to remain permanently in Australia. Can an application still be made for an eVisitor visa and then a separate exemption be applied for to enter on this visa? The link below indicates that an exemption is possible for a spouse of an Australian passport holder, even with the current restrictions that are in place. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/departmental-forms/online-forms/covid19-enquiry-form Also, assuming I can't enter on the eVistor visa and I have to enter Australia on the Visitor Visa (subclass 600) can I still apply for 820 visa subsequently? The reason I am asking this is because the subclass 600 page outlines that this visa will only be provided if the applicant intends to come to Australia to visit only and is a genuine visitor with proof that the applicant has reasons to return home. Therefore, can the application for the 820 be made void/be rejected on the basis the applicant entered on a sublcass 620 but was not in fact a genuine visitor? Thus, effectively breaching their visa? How else could you enter the country (apart from being a visitor) to then apply for the 820 in Australia? It seems like there is a bit of a contradiction here? Am I missing something?

Thanks. Assuming I apply and get the Subclass 600 visa and enter Australia on this visa, can I then subsequently apply for the 820 visa on the basis I have entered on the Subclass 600 visa? That is, is there a restriction to transfer to the 820 visa from the subclass 600 visa? Would immigration not say why have you travelled into australia as a tourist to then apply for permenant longer stay? Why didnt you just apply offshore? Or is this permissable? Also, do I need to apply for the Subclass 600 then separately apply for an exemption once I have this visa by following the link below?

Hi all, My husband is an Australian passport holder and we have been married 3 years and we have a child together (the child also has an Australian passport). We are looking to relocate to Australia in July - August. I was looking to travel to Australia on the E visitor visa and then once in Australia apply for the 820 partner visa. However, it appears now when I try to apply for the E visitor it shows the below alert (in italic) Travel restrictions to Australia are currently in place – see the Department's website prior to travel and for the latest information. Important notice Strict travel restrictions are in place for certain countries due to COVID-19. You should not apply for any visa until checking the latest information. If you are an immediate family member of either an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible to apply for a Visitor Visa (Subclass 600). If your visa was granted after 1 February 2020 and you are affected by the current travel restrictions, you will not be able to check your visa details and conditions using Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) until the restrictions are lifted. You should refer to your visa grant letter or check here in ImmiAccount. My question is then: how do I now actually enter Australia to then subsequently apply for the 820 partner visa? Does that mean I would now have to apply for the subclass600 visa to enter Australia? If I was to apply for this visa to enter Australia am I still eligible to apply for the 820 partner visa subsequently. Thanks Anna
