Salma 135 Posted March 17, 2009 Hi All, Still in the UK but starting my Spousal visa process soon just wanted to know that it was not effected by the reduction annouced by AUS Gov? Thanks, Salma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest StephenWard9 Posted April 13, 2009 I dont know Salma. I've in Australia on a PM visa and once we're married in October, I will apply for my spouse visa. Does anyone know if these cuts will affect spouse visas?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest proud2beaussie Posted April 13, 2009 As far as I am aware "Family Stream" visas were not affected by the changes to the migration program announced recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gollywobbler Posted April 13, 2009 Hi there Nigel is right. The cuts announced recently apply to the skilled stream only. Partner and Child Visas are excluded from quota and capping provisions in any event so nobody on this thread need worry. Best wishes Gill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
