How many times can I sponsor?

There is a limitation on partner sponsorship (a sponsor can only sponsor 2 times) and the gap between the sponsorship application must be at least 5 years (there are exceptional circumstances).

If one of us has criminal records, how will it affect the visa application process?

Depends on who violated the laws (the sponsor or the applicant). Especially, if that crime is related to domestic abuse or not.

This is a complicated case. For a more specific and accurate answer, you should contact VEM immediately for advice from Mr Phong Cao.

My partner is in Australia and wants to sponsor me to Australia? Do we need to provide financial proofing?

This is not necessary. The Australian Government only requires the sponsor to have a full-time job. In case you don’t meet this requirement, contact VEM for solutions.

Can I apply for a Prospective Marriage visa while travelling to Australia?

As mentioned, you must be offshore when the visa is granted. If your Visitor visa excludes the 8503 provision, you can totally travel then get married in Australia.

How long does it take to sponsor my spouse?

It depends on whether your application applies onshore or offshore. The processing time for your application applied onshore is from 16 to 23 months and offshore is from 12 – 14 months.

What are the solutions if my application is refused?

If your visa is refused you or your partner can apply for an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Book an appointment with one of our migration consultants for detailed advice when you get your visa refused.
