820 and/or 835

[PaulRobbo]

Looking for peoples experiences.

My son is eligible to apply for the Remaining Relative (835) visa and will, in about 6 months, be eligible for the Partner Visa (820, then 801).

It's hard to find out some details or constraints on the process.

I am curious about the bridging visa while a decision is being made, will it be granted with unrestricted work rights, or match his existing visa work rights or other?

I read in may places that the processing time for the 835 is decades, so the bridging visa conditions are important if he chooses that pathway.

Many thanks in advance and thanks for supporting this forum with your expertese.

How old is your son? Would a Working Holiday Visa be an interim option, so that he can stay and work?

Thanks for helping.

He has already been on his WHV and is currently on another temporary visa that gives him working rights.

Just looking for his best pathway to PR.

If he is bridging to the 820/801 then he gets full working rights as soon as the bridging visa kicks in.

If he bridges to the 835 he gets no working rights. He can apply, but there is no guarantee the rights will be granted. If he wants PR go the Spouse route, NOT the 835.

Thanks Nemesis,

That rules out the 835 from his choices.
