PerthpomSRT Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 My partner and I are about to apply for a partner visa. She is currently on a bridging visa a due to appealing a visa decline decision last year. Are we ok to apply for the visa and should we put much text in the to Substantive Visa question?

MaggieMay24 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'd check with a migration agent as there are situations where you can't apply for a visa while holding a bridging visa, and there are situations where you can't apply for an onshore visa after having a visa refused. So you may find she's barred from lodging an 820/801 application and would need to apply offshore for a 309/100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yes, that is a very important question you need to understand. Although she can lodge a Partner 820/801 while on a bridging visa (a bridging visa is not a substantive visa), she will need to satisfy additional "schedule 3 criteria", which for a partner visa, are very difficult to satisfy. I strongly recommend profession advice as you are risking your $7,000 application fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itraf Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If you are granted a BVA whilst on a 12 month ETA which has 3 month clauses on it and only expires in9 months, then the BVA only activates once eta expires, do you have to exit at 3 month intervals as per eta? Or stay through it until eta expires and BVA activates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
