RachelS Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi guys I've searched on PIO & generally online but can't find an answer so thought I'd start my own thread & hope you knowledgeable PIO'ers can help! My OH & I are currently on a 457 visa (he's main applicant) & have been thinkingof getting married for years - but we've got family visiting next year & would love to do it then. Our 856 application goes in tomorrow but with the published wait time being possibly 6-8 months we might not get PR before the date we're thinking of. My question is - is it possible for us to get married while we're on the 457 if we have to - is it legal? Is there aything special we'd have to do? Thanks for taking the time to read - hope someone out there can help Rachel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would it just make sense to wait until we have PR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajs604 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi, a friend of mine recently got married on a 457 but is spouse was Australian. Legally, you can get married anywhere & it is fine too do this on a 457 - obviously your marriage licence will be Australian - make no difference. If your partner is the main applicant providing you have been together (i.e living together & can prove it) you will be able to also be included in the PR visa. Enjoy your wedding plans!!
