Clyde114 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hi there i'd appreciate your advice... The background is as follows; I am applying for a partner visa 309/100 with my wife as my sponsor. She is Aussie, I am English and we are currently in UK. I am sole income earner as we have 3 kids. My question is; how can my wife demonstrate she can meet financial sponsorship obligations when she won't be working? Also our accommodation at first entry when we plan to be renting in 12 months + with no evidence to support this? i hope I'm taking the form too literally and we don't have to provide any evidence, it'd be great to know either way! Thanks in advance Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco56 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The key sponsorship obligations relate to the legal requirements for sponsors (eg meeting requirements regarding previous sponsorships, minimum age, protection of children etc). If you have lived successfully in the UK and are not homeless, or unemployable (due to language difficulties for example) than there are no issues which would put your wife's sponsorship at risk. The presumption would be that you can establish yourselves in Australia, and find accomodation. On the application form (40SP) answer the questions in Part H using your current (UK) living situation. At Q47 record your plan for how you both plan to house your family in Australia (eg. Rent a house, stay with relatives, buy a home etc). By signing the 40SP your wife is showing her intention to fulfill the sponsorship requirements. How these obligations are ultimately fulfilled will depend on how things work out in Australia.

Clyde114 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Fantastic, I appreciate your clear and full response. One question - you say at Q47 we should record our plan, do you mean Q46 as this relates to our household plans? Thanks for clarifying Best regards Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco56 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yes you are right. Q46 is where you record the plan. All the best for your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
