Ashmo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 My partner is onshore on a 457 and we want to apply for a partner visa under the de facto stream based on having living together for th last 3 years. If we get married sometime in the 12-18mths it takes immigration to assess the 820 would this invalidate our application as we would no longer be de facto? We cant apply for a marriage visa as he needs to stay onshore for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same subclass, but makes no difference if you get married now or after you apply. I don't know what you mean about We cant apply for a marriage visa as he needs to stay onshore for work.If he is on a 457 you can just get married now, he doesn't need a specific visa to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 A partner visa is just that. There are not different streams for de facto or married couples. Everyone applies for the same partner visa onshore, the 820/801. If you do marry before the visa is granted, you will need to notify immigration of the change of relationship from de facto to married and your partner upload the marriage cert etc to the immi account for the application.
