cyberslam Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 hey all! I have a skilled - Sponsored (Family) 489 visa, got the visa activated but still living outside Australia. I am going to apply for my wife's visa as a subsequent entrant. Firstly, does anyone know if i will have any problems in applying for this visa when i am still living outside Australia? Secondly, while going through the visa application of my wife, i came across the attached page where it asks "Is the applicant sponsored by an eligible relative?" I am confused on this one as i am her sponsor but adding her as an subsequent entrant and in the beginning of application it already asked primary applicant(mine) details like visa grant number, date of birth etc.. Anyone with similar experience or knowledge on this one please? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 You wouldn't be the sponsor, you are the primary applicant. The sponsor would be whoever sponsored you. So if you were sponsored by your uncle, then you would say "Yes" to eligible relative (assuming this is the case, I don't know who is eligible to sponsor), and in the box below you'd say "Uncle". I don't know the answer to whether you can add your wife while outside the country. You may need to speak with a migration agent if no one else on the forum can answer this.

Thanks for the reply Maggie but are you sure the about the sponsor thing? Any personal experience?:dull: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 As it asks for the sponsors relationship to the primary applicant (being you) I would say maggiemay is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberslam Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 blossom79, the screenshot i posted and my question refers to my wife's application where i am trying to add here as an subsequent entrant. I already have the visa and was sponsored by my brother. So, in this case, the question in the application is whether my wife (who is being added as subsequent entrant to my visa) is sponsored by a eligible relative in Australia. Moreover, a migration agent on another forum has this to say: I don't see a problem with that - you will want to make sure you understand the regional area living requirements of that visa. The sponsored by a family member box refers to a version of the 489 where the primary applicant is sponsored by a family member (rather than being sponsored by a state or territory), so sounds like No would be the answer for your case - What do you guys think?

blossom Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If you have had advice from a migration agent and think that is correct then go with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
