pakcha Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hi, I have lodged my subclass 186 visa last week with one primary applicant (myself) and three secondary applicants, while in Australia. One of the secondary applicants is on bridging visa C. Along with the acknowledgement letter, primary applicant and two secondary applicants were granted BVA but there was no mention of bridging visa to the third secondary applicant (who is on BVC). Documents regarding 186 visa says "you need to have a substantive visa or BVA or BVB or BVC to apply for 186 in Australia" and "if you have a BVA or BVC, you are usually granted BVC". We are a bit confused why the third secondary applicant has not yet been granted BVC and why it did not come through automatically with other BVAs or do you need to separately apply for it. I am just hoping someone in the forum would you be able to clarify this. Thanks. Pakcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 By the sounds of it they don't need to issue the bridging visa as they are already on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakcha Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks blossom79. The only problem is that the BVC is expiring at the end of the month and linked with other visa application. Pakcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What do you mean expiring? I thought bridging visas remained until the substantive visa was granted. How did your dependent manage to apply for their own visa anyway, in order to be in this different situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakcha Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 The dependent made a valid application for a different substantive visa on their own and was given a BVC based on that. We withdrew the application before we lodge our 186. The dependent is on BVC when we lodge, but will expire soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they qualified for a visa in their own right, then how can they be a dependent on yours? What visa were you all on before the 186 application and when did it expire? Really to get some better answers, you are going to have to explain a bit better. Half stories do not end up with good responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
