Guest Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 FWIW, you can lodge an on shore partner visa application. It costs a bit more and takes a little longer (off shore is 10-14 months and on shore was running at about 13 months last I heard). On shore partner visa applications come with work rights when on the bridging visa awaiting a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ! If you wed before a visa is granted you must inform the DIBP. If you wed after a visa is granted but before it is activated you could be in serious trouble. You might not breach your entry conditions (depending on the conditions imposed) but the way you are proceeding you will very likely breach section 104.

MaggieMay24 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 At a minimum, I'd immediately upload a completed form 1022 to notify them that your marital status is Engaged (assuming you said single in your application?). However, I think you'd be wiser to speak with a migration agent to get guidance on how to proceed before your visa is granted/you get married.
