SophieTheSoph Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have Aus PR, and my partner and i are planning to move there before October when my visa expires. We've been together for 4.5yrs (just over 4 living together and easily documented), so I am confident that we could apply for and get a 319 visa for him. However I read that if we'd been together for 5 yrs when we apply he'd quickly get a 301, which would be better. We can't wait until the 5 yr mark as my visa will expire 4 months before that, but we are debating getting a prospective marriage 300, getting hitched in Aus, then applying for a 820/801 after that. Does anyone know if the 5 year + relationship date = getting PR (instead of temp for 2 yrs) more quickly is the same as for the 319/301? Any advice gratefully received!

Peach Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi, they changed the rules last year - you now only need to be together for three years to skip the two year temporary visa : 1127.pdf (application/pdf Object) (Link is to the partner migration booklet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophieTheSoph Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks Peach - I must have had an old version of the booklet! That is great news. I guess we'll need to get our paperwork together in double quick time now to make sure my partners visa is granted by Oct...! S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
