wicksy84 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi to anyone who can help. Im a permanent resident and i came on a 176 but never included my now wife (long story) we have been married 4 months and thought the spouse visa would take 3 weeks. we have just found out from Australia house that it is taking 6 months to process these visas. Can we get a bridging visa to span the time or is it a case of just wait. Also could she come out on a holiday visa and wait here for the visa to come through in oz. Help please :jiggy::sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi to get a bridging visa, she would need to already be on a substantive visa (e.g. student or temporary skilled). Once her spouse visa application is submitted, she can travel to Australia and wait on the holiday visa - but she will have to leave and re-enter the country on her new visa. You should discuss this with her case officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
