Dilshan Gunewardena Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi all, so after my my resident visa lapsed in 2004 and after a successful appeal in 2019, i was granted a RRV Jan 2020 (Yay). I now have three children with my wife of 20 years, she was never a PR holder and therefore I need to sponsor her and our 3 kids. Right now I know there the most probable wait time is approx.18 months for an offshore application. My question is if we apply for a subclass 600 Tourist stream Visitor visa and it is granted with the 8503 clause would that have any negative impact on the future family sponsorship. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhand Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Your question is not clear here - the effect of an 8503 condition will be to prohibit a further onshore application. It won't affect an offshore application, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't affect an offshore application, I understand the 8503, my question was if we apply for a Visitor visa would that have any detrimental effect on the sponsorship application as a whole. I'm just trying to find the quickest way of getting my family across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such an important thing that you can't afford to get it wrong. In particular, if you don't move to Australia and settle before this RRV expires, they might not grant you a second one. So you may have to face the prospect of moving without your family if you can't find a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
