Ligia Cristina Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hello all, Does anyone know if after granted a visa (subclass 190 main applicant + secondary applicant on de facto relationship) the relationship ends, it is necessary / appropriate / required to announce this fact? If yes, and I declare that we are not a couple anymore, his visa will be cancelled? We haven't made the first entry yet. If I do that I will be able to sponsor someone else in the future? Thanks in advance for your answers! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Be careful about what you publish on a public forum. May I suggest that for full and correct advice about you future options, you consult a registered migration agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scattley Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If the visa has not been activated then you don't yet have the PR visa and should notify immigration. If you do this hen you will be able to sponsor another party in the next five years if needed but if you do not, that ban will apply as the government believes you already have a partner. It's best not to lie to immigration now...you never know when it might come back to bite you like when you apply for citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I would give wrussel a call - his contact details are in his signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeGirl Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I don't believe the visa has to be activated in order to count against the five-year limitation - just granted. I agree, give a good RMA a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The five-year limitation applies to someone who has sponsored a partner for a Partner visa. Including a partner as a secondary applicant on a skilled immigration visa is not the same thing at all and in that case, no five year limitation would apply. Of course, a Case Officer could well look at a new Partner visa application within only a year or so and suspect that something may be kosher with one or both of the visa applications, but that wouldn't be because of any five year limitation on sponsorship. Get advice from a good RMA before doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'd also get advice. The sponsoring someone else is a non issue as it isn't a partner visa. However, if you split before activating you are supposed to let immigration know so the secondary applicant can be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeGirl Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Doh, missed that it wasn't a partner visa! Good catch, Oz and Blossom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
