MiloB Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hello all, My partner who has been here for the last year on a WHV wants to stay here and study a Certificate 3 in Fitness course which runs for 6 months. We would like to keep open the possibility of applying for a Partner Visa later on, however we are worried she could end up with a "No Further Stay" clause on her student visa. She is from Sweden (AL1), and I understand that generally AL3 and AL4 countries end up with "No Further Stay" on their student visas if the course is under 10 months duration. She also has a significant enough amount of money in the bank to satisfy any financial requirements. Is there a possibility that my partner could also end up with No Further Stay, given that she has already been here for a year and is applying for a 6 month course?

AJ Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I dont know the answer but would they really issue a visa for such a short basic course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiloB Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I can guarantee that the Cert 3 course is eligible for a student visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiloB Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yes, there is always a possibility. Yes I accept it is a possibility. Visa application outcomes seem to be one of those things that are never 100% risk adverse. However, would you consider it a realistic outcome? I can't see how DIBP would view her application as a risk, as she is from a low risk country, has sufficient funds, hasn't had any previous visa rejections or issues, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not have the faintest clue how likely it is though and see no value in guessing. You will just have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
