mattybe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi, hoping someone can help ease my anxiety on this :- I applied and was granted a 189 Skilled visa on 29/01/2013 and have been living in Australia since. My now Ex-Wife was included in this application with me and is listed as a secondary applicant at the time of application/grant. We divorced in Australia last year. I have since met a new partner and am engaged to married, I wish to sponsor her under Prospective Marriage Visa. My confusion is around this question :- Has this sponsor previously sponsored/nominated a spouse, de facto, prospective spouse or interdependent partner? Under the 189 where my Ex-Wife was listed as a secondary applicant, did I technically sponsor her and should answer "Yes" to the question. Booklet 1127 defines "nominated" as a term previously referred to instead of sponsorship in 2002. If I answer "Yes" to the above question because it's applicable, then am I correct in proceeding anyway because it has been >5 years since the application/grant with my Ex-Wife. I don't want to proceed and spend $7k to be refused. Any help or advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stung Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The 5 year not applicable to you. That was not a sponsorship for you ex-wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
