Kpnuts Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 My daughter came to Aus 5 years ago and has been on Working Holiday Visas and more latterly a Student Visa. My wife an I are now Permanent Residents having arrived in Aus in a 143 two years ago. Due to my daughters Student Visa coming to a close, we have put her on to a Last Remaining Relative stream. A Bridging Visa was granted and obviously she follows the same rules as her Student Visa albeit she is in full time work as she is not following any course of study. Almost 2 years ago she met a guy who is an Aus Citizen. They have bought a house together and the property is in joint title. Due to the relationship she would like to change her visa to a Partner Visa to enable a more realistic time before she is granted PR notwithstanding their wish to get married. She has picked up some info that if she now changes her visa application from a Last Remaining Relative to a Partner Visa, she will lose her work rights? I would have thought her work rights would remain the same as her last substantive visa? Any views please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional advice would be sensible, as its now quite complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
