acc0101 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi everyone. I am planning to cancel my Bridging visa A. and re-enter AUS with travel visa. I am waiting for the AAT appeal for my 457 nomination, and holding a Bridging visa A. However, I do not want to work for my employer anymore now, the result is nothing to me now. I am planning to lodge a partner Visa on-shore ASAP and would need a travel visa to do it. The tricky part is i don't want to waste time for canceling and waiting for IMMI to cancel my Bridging visa A. i am planning to leave AUS directly and apply and ETA travel visa oversea and re-enter AUS with this. Would it be possible to do this? any hidden issue i need to worry about ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy1 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I would seriously speak to a migration agent, sounds somewhat dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Not a good plan. If eligible for a partner visa, apply offshore, no need to cancel the current application and a partner visa (if low risk country) should be granted in about three months). An on shore application likely to take two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well I can think of 2 potential issues. 1 - You get refused on re-entry as you are not a genuine tourist + 3 year ban 2 - You get NFS on your Visa and unable to apply for a Partner visa anyway.

Talked with my agent. She gave me a suggestion like this: Apply for Bridging Visa B and leave AUS first, and then apply the ETA oversea. At least i still get the BVB to return if my ETA is failure. Just a bit curious. is it possible to apply an visitor VISA while holding a BVB.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well if that's what your agent said then the choice to do that is up to you. I am worried tho, if your 457 visa has also been refused and you are not appealing it, then surely that classed as a refusal and a ban will apply? I don't think anyone on here can give you the answers you need unfortunately '=( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to collect some option before this bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It's a bet alright. Just off topic, how long has your nomination/visa appeal been with the AAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off topic, how long has your nomination/visa appeal been with the AAT? almost 10 months. still waiting.
