akmirror Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi guys, I have a query to make. I am on my 190 PR visa living in Perth. My girlfriend and I are planning to get married this year. I know after marrying her, she can apply for a partner visa (which is initially temporary one) and she will get her Permanent visa in 2 years time. I do not want to take this route as she can apply for 189 visa by herself and has 60 points so far. What I want to know from you is -Can she lodge her EOI using this route and can she claim additional 5 partner points from me (as my occupation is on SOL list and I have assessment done from EA too). That will increase her points from current 60 to post 65 if possible and thus increasing her chances of an invite. Can this be done ? What are the effects of this on my visa? Like after marriage, she applied using this route and included me in her application, my visa will be changed in lieu with her. Is it the case? I may be thinking too much. Hence, if any of you guys can please let me know, what should be the best thing for both of us, we would really appreaciate that. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You cannot claim points for someone who already has PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akmirror Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 You cannot claim points for someone who already has PR. Hi Tee, Thanks for your reply. To make myself further clear, does this mean when she applies for her PR 189 visa she doesnot need to put me as a partner in her application (By that time we will already be married). I just thought if she added me as her partner, she could get extra 5 points on her application. Looks like she will need to fill in her EOI with 60 points itself.

blossom Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 She will still need to list you as her husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akmirror Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 She will still need to list you as her husband. Hmm...Does this mean, I will also be included in her visa application(which I dont want to as I already am a PR). I just want her to apply for her PR, add the information that I am her husband and that's it. Is this allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 How long have you been together ? she might get PR straight away, you do not have to be married for a partner visa. It would be cheapest option. I do understand her wanting PR sooner though so if she won't get PR straight away from partnet visa then PR in her own right should do it. She will have to include you but it will ask on the form about your status if you are PR you will not be given another visa, but she should list you.

I too hope it is the case. I dont' want to be considered as an applicant in her visa application as I already m on a PR. She will apply for PR as we are not living together until we get married.

Guest littlesarah Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 When I applied for my skilled visa, I didn't include my husband on my application because he is a citizen, so I could not (as far as I understand) claim any points for his skills. You will still have to include spouse details - that is a requirement of DIAC (in my case I had to submit a copy of his birth certificate).
