I don't believe that bit yes do consider that the average time line is 10 to 11 months when in the recent past..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saleemk Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) hello all I just got recentely Nikah done with a girl , and ended up in divoce in 2 months , she demanded divorce as she didnt wanted to go forward I had filed her 309 Offshore application and her 600 Visit sponsored family visa aswell. I have now given her divorce after several attempts to change her decision , but to no avail. Date of marriage and date of divorce is like 8 weeks apart. Next steps? I have update the 309 and 600 Visa application with change in circumstances and requtested DIBP to cancel her applications. Bcoz her visa 309 is not get granted , I can sponsor my future wife easily? Any complications like 5 year wait to sponsor a new wife? Any special considerations I should take with regards to documentation? I am really heart broken with what happened to me and I am looking for a more suitable life partner but want to make sure my future wife has no issues getting her 309 visa Please advise guys Thanks Edited April 3, 2018 by saleemk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_ Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm sorry to hear that buddy. While it is heartbreaking, I hope it is for the best for you in the long term. My understanding is there is a 5-year limit on partner sponsorship if the previous application was approved. In your case, the visa has not been granted yet, so I think this limitation does not apply to you. I googled around a bit and found a couple of helpful links: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/corporate/information/fact-sheets/30partners#e http://forum.migrationhelp.com.au/archive/index.php/t-2014.html https://www.rpmlawyers.com.au/sponsor-two-different-partners-australian-partner-visas-lifetime-usually-yes If I were you, I'd consult with a reputable registered migration agent for peace of mind before sponsoring someone else.

AZS Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi, I will be applying soon in shaa Allah for the spouse visa 309 and had a few questions which I needed some clarification: 1. I will be having my nikkah only and showing that events pictures - is that fine or do they ask categorically for rukhsati and walima reception pictures? 2. Do they ask for invitation cards pics or we can skip that? Since it's just a nikkah wont be getting the invites printed. 3. What sort of questions do they ask in the interview? Please guide me about these. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they ask for invitation cards pics or we can skip that? Since it's just a nikkah wont be getting the invites printed. 3. What sort of questions do they ask in the interview? Please guide me about these. Thanks in advance 1. A friend of mine filed for the application on the basis of a Nikkah only in 2015 and was granted the visa successfully. That was 3 years ago. I don't know what the current situation is with the Nikkah vs Rukhsati debate. 2. They do ask for the invitation card pics because most applications are made on the basis of a proper wedding reception. So this goes back to the point number 1 above. If Nikkah is considered a bona-fide basis for the application, they won't mind not having an invitation card for the event. 3. They start with confirming the applicant's and the sponsor's names and dates of birth. Other things include: relationship history, financial aspect, household setup of the couple, each other's likes and dislikes, each other's career/job descriptions, future plans, how the couple maintains contact, if the sponsoring person has visited the applicant from Australia since the Nikkah/Shaadi, etc. If they suspect something dodgy in the application, they could ask for many other things which are hard to predict. They can even call your friends/relatives if they suspect false information in the application. I hope someone who has recently applied on the basis of a Nikkah can shed more light on 1 & 2. Good luck Edited April 4, 2018 by Andy_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Fatim, Great to hear that there’s someone else that applied on the same date as I did. Have they contacted you after the interview? I will keep you updated if they do contact me or if my husband hopefully gets his visa grant. Please keep me updated too. Which country did you apply from?
