vomi Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have been granted the partner visa, both my wife and I are current living outside of AUS. And there are two conditions, the first one is a 8502 condition, entry after XXX (the name of my wife), the other is condition 8504, entry before 31 July.1. For the wording “After”, is there any specified requirement? Can I take the same flight with my wife, and my wife goes to Customs first, I wait her go, then I go?2. Is 8502 and 8504 a one-time requirement? For example, can my wife go to other countries after our entry to Aus? Also, can I made my first entry before 31 July, then I travel to other countries after 31 July, and go back to Aus in October?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 As far as I know that just means you can't fly ahead. It isn't often used any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise they applied the 8502 condition to partner visas! Your wife presumably is a citizen or holds a validated PR visa if she sponsored you for a partner visa?

vomi Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hi Rupert, thank you. So normally what visa does 8502 condition apply? My wife is a PR, currently we are living outside of AUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Both conditions apply only to YOUR first entry to Australia. Your wife can travel before you or you can travel with her and in order for you to meet the 8502, she simply goes through customs and immigration first. YOUR first entry must be before 31 July in the year indicated. After you have entered Australia for the first time (which activates your visa), you can both come and go as you please until your respective visa expiry dates. After those dates, your wife is still free to leave, but can only re-enter Australia as a PR if she has a Resident Return visa. The same applies to you if you have been granted a permanent visa - you will each have different visa expiry dates which will be 5 years from the date of the grant of each permanent visa. If you leave Australia whole on a temporary visa, you must return before it expires. http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/155-157.aspx resident Return visas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was granted UF and 309 visa, but strangely the grant letter said "Stay For/Until: Indefinite".... Is there no expiration date for this type of Visa? Thanks!

I have only seen it on a skilled migrant visa previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Is there no expiration date for this type of Visa? Thanks! Not really. You either stay with your partner and are granted a permanent subclass 100 visa (which you applied for at the same time as your 309) after a couple of years or you don't qualify for the 100 because the relationship is not still intact. If the 100 was denied, you would be given a date by which you had to leave Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
