JoandJon Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hi all, My hubby is waiting for his partner visa (offshore) to come through and I was wondering if they ever go straight to permanent without the temporary visa? We sent in the application 20/6/11, been married since 1/5/2010, and have lived together since May 2008. We included evidence of all of the above with the initial application and I'm just curious if anyone's been granted the permanent visa straight away before? Cheers!

Quite a few people on the spouse visa thread have been granted the permanent (100) visa straight away. Not in that boat myself so can't really help but if you have a flick back through some of the older posts on that thread you'll see that it is possible. If you already meet the requirements for the permanent visa when you apply then there's a good chance that's what you'll be granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hi, When I applied you had to prove you had been together for 5 years to get PR. I believe it is now 3 years. if you have sent proof in that you have been together for at least 3 years or more, with proof covering every year. Then i think you stand a good chance of getting PR straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GoldCoastMag Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 My hubby was granted the 100, so yes it can be given. We also gave proof from each of the years and the CO was happy with the evidence. Back home on the Gold Coast 1 year and loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 It would be brilliant if they do give hubby PR immediately, if only to avoid the pain of the same paperwork gathering and waiting game in two years time. So now it's keeping fingers crossed for two things - that he gets a partner visa before flying out on the 8th November, and that it's straight to PR..... C'mon LG, be nice..... be generous...... I'd offer chocolates etc if it wouldn't risk being accused of bribery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoandJon Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I am really really hoping it comes through - he wants to take two of his guitars with him on the plane, and an extra 20kg will be amazingly helpful - especially since I'm not eligible for any extra baggage as a returning Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I tried this for my wife but they say you should be legally married for at least 3 years (I was 6 months short) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 We've lived together (with evidence to show - holiday evidence and council tax bills etc) since April 2008, so I'm hoping they might take this into account as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son (also called Jon) got a permanent spouse visa straightaway, when he applied. His wife Jo is Australian and they had been married for 3 ys when he applied. It was however onshore as he had been in Sydney for 7 years on a business visa. Don`t know if this helps but at least it shows that you can get a permanent spouse visa without having to do the 2 year temp phase first Good luck Fiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
