Have you already been granted your 187 visa?

 

If you haven't been granted your visa, it is not too late to submit a Change of Circumstances Form 1022 to have your new wife added to your application. The cost if you can do that will be $1760. It's important that you get the form in ASAP as if you are granted your visa before you do, getting a visa for her will be much more difficult and expensive and will take much longer.

If you have already been granted your 187 and your wife was not included on your application as a migrating dependent, you will have to sponsor her for a Partner visa which will cost $4630 for an offshore visa or $6865 if she comes to Australia and lodges an onshore Partner visa application. A Partner visa application is not only more expensive than including a partner on a work visa application but it is considerably more complex and requires much more evidence.

As your visa is granted, she needs the partner visa, so it is the high cost and I think a 12 month wait or so.

 

You did disclose your wife on the 187 application I presume?
