Several factors influence the probability of a successful outcome in your partner visa application. Our team of Australian Migration Agents provides complimentary consultations tailored to partner visa applications. During these consultations, our highly skilled and knowledgeable team will assess your case comprehensively, offering personalised insights into your chances of success. By leveraging our skills and experience, we can offer you a more precise assessment of the likelihood of your application's success.

While waiting for a decision on your subclass 100 partner visa application, you have the opportunity to reside, work, and live in Australia under the temporary subclass 309 partner visa. As long as you adhere to the visa conditions, you are permitted to lawfully stay in Australia throughout this duration.

Holders of subclass 100 partner visas can reside in Australia indefinitely, regardless of relationship status. But for temporary partner visas, such as subclass 309, a breakup may lead to your visa being revoked. Promptly informing the Department of Home Affairs is crucial, and you can do this via specific forms. Failure to report changes could result in visa cancellation without explanation. After notifying, you might still qualify for permanent residency based on specific circumstances, like domestic violence or parental responsibility. However, if your relationship isn't considered genuine, your visa may be cancelled, requiring a new visa application or departure from Australia. For those ineligible for permanent partner visas, other visa options like student or skilled migrant visas are available.

Processing times for the subclass 309 Partner Visa in Australia can vary significantly, ranging from five months to ninety-six months. This variation depends on several factors, including the complexity of the application, satisfaction with the evidence provided, and the Department’s backlog. While estimates are provided on the Department of Home Affairs website, these are not definitive, and actual processing times may differ. Our experienced migration agents ensure meticulous preparation of applications to minimise delays. However, factors like the applicant's country of passport may still affect processing times, which is beyond our control. Despite challenges, our team navigates the process efficiently to ensure fair consideration under the law. Once granted, the subclass 100 visa grants permanent residency, allowing holders to live and work in Australia permanently. Additionally, eligible family members, including dependent children and de facto partners, can be included in the application process, provided the relationship meets the genuine and continuing criteria set by the Australian government.

Our team of Australian Migration Agents is dedicated to crafting applications that are 'decision-ready.' This meticulous approach ensures that all required documents, including supporting evidence and police certificates, are properly attached. In theory, an officer of the Department of Home Affairs could assess and decide on the application on the very first day of submission. This expedites the process and minimises the need for additional requests for information, thus reducing the risk of delays in the visa application process.

No. A subclass 309 visa is only a temporary visa; the journey towards permanent residency in Australia typically begins with the provisional partner visa (subclass 309), which allows entry to Australia for two years, paving the way for the partner visa subclass 100. To qualify for the subclass 309 visa, substantial evidence of a genuine and ongoing relationship is essential, along with supporting documents like identity and character records. After two years, applicants can transition to the partner visa subclass 100, signifying permanent residency and affording benefits such as unrestricted travel. Subsequently, after 12 months on the subclass 100 visa, individuals may pursue Australian citizenship. For those in enduring relationships, there's the potential for a double grant of the 309/100 visa, further streamlining the pathway to permanent residence.

The primary distinction between a subclass 309 and an 820 partner visa is the applicant's location. Opting for an offshore application is suitable when unable to secure an Australian visa or requiring extra preparation time; however, it comes with potential drawbacks. Offshore applications (subclass 309) may have longer processing times, delaying a couple's ability to reside together. Conversely, pursuing an onshore application (subclass 820) provides you with a Bridging Visa, which allows you to stay in Australia during processing.

最终，选择取决于个人情况和偏好，考虑的因素包括真实和持续的关系、健康和品格要求以及支持证据。
