Hi guys,
I am currently living in Australia on a bridging visa A, with my immediate family who are Australian residents.
Long story short :
My parents and 3 little brothers moved here 7 years ago whilst I was at university and due to me being classed as independent (I was 23) I was removed from their visa (skilled work).
I then applied for a remaining relative visa (onshore) to which gave me a 50 year wait time for my visa (with no working rights as I entered Australia on a holiday visa).
I am now 27, and have found a partner (Australian citizen). We tick a lot of the boxes required to apply for a partner visa, however we recently approached a few visa agents regarding the application.
We have had two responses, one said yes all good we can apply. The other said, due to my current application and bridging visa, I won’t be able to apply.
I contacted immigration and the woman I spoke to pretty much read off the website and couldn’t answer the simplest of questions (she suggested I contact a visa agent )
I’m just looking for someone who might have been in a similar situation, or someone who has experience in this field.
Apologies if I’ve not included enough info for you guys to advise me!
Thanks in advance!
Jack
