Bushpiglet Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi guys, Bit of a complicated one...or at least it feels that way. ? I was granted a skilled migration visa and moved to Australia in 2016 with my ex husband and son. Our marriage broke down very quickly (3 months after arriving) and myself and my son returned to England to be worth family (my ex remained there). I have since entered into another relationship and have a newborn baby. Myself and my current partner would like to go back out to Australia with my son and our new baby, and are looking into applying for a partner visa but I don't know if we can do this if we're both living in the UK? The only examples I can find of this being acceptable are where the sponsor is Australian born. Any advice would be extremely welcome! Thanks in advance, Lou.?

rammygirl Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 As long as your PR visa is still active you can apply for this one http://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/309- processing times for visas applied for in the UK seem to be pretty quick at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushpiglet Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 That's great...thanks very much rammygirl. Just to be clear, it doesn't matter if I'm living in the UK currently, as long as my PR is still valid (which it is until 2021)? I'm just a bit confused because the terms in the booklet class Permanent Resident as someone who "usually resides in Australia". Thanks.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
