Uma Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I have applied for Contributory Parent Visa for my parents last year and they are currently on Bridging A. i am planning to apply for Bridging B as they need to travel. I have the below queries related to the application. 1. In the Application form, Question 6 , Class of Visa currently held should i specify the Bridging visa A details or should i mention the previously held visitor visa details?. 2. They are planning to travel to India (between feb - mar 2022) to visit extented family and then travel to the US (jul - dec 2022) to visit my sister and her family later in the year. In between those travel they will be back in Australia. Can i add both these travel details in my current application by adding an additional sheet for Q 12. (which asks about intended travel details) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which asks about intended travel details) I believe it is possible to apply for multiple entry. Otherwise you will need a separate BVB for each trip. I suggest you also provide strong reasons for needing to make the trip, for instance family business to be attended to or a special occasion to attend.

Yes, we are seeing a less accommodating approach to BVB applications at the moment and strong reasons are required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Thanks for the response. Are you able to help with the below query? In the Application form, Question 6 - Class of Visa currently held? should i specify their Bridging visa A details or should i mention their previously held visitor visa details?.

It’s not a trick question … if you currently only hold a bridging visa A that’s the visa “currently held”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 It might be worth noting (in some cases) that those who travel on a bridging B are deemed not to have left Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
