nicolo 11 Posted September 19, 2016 My friend's husband is the primary 187 visa holder and he is now eligible to apply for citizenship but his wife who holds a 187 dependent visa who is not yet eligible until next year due to the residency requirement. What happens to the wife's dependent 187 visa when the primary 187 visa holder becomes a citizen? Since the primary 187 visa will cease, will the wife's dependent isa also cease? What will then be the status of the wife in Australia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmad Shady 10 Posted September 19, 2016 nothing happens ... 187 is not "dependent" once granted and landed in the country, except in very limited visa cancellation circumstances (getting citizenship is not one of them) Ahmad Shady, B.Sc., Grad Cert Australian Migration Law, MMIA, Registered Migration Agent A2Z Consult Pty Ltd - MARN 1575106 www.a2zconsult.com.au Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know it won't affect the wife's visa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
