Being nosy but why did you not apply for a Spouse Visa last October? Hindsight is a wonderful thing but you'd have been free of the 457 hassle. I can't remember the rules or costs involved but could you cancel the De Facto and/or transfer to a PMV? This may not be an option as I'm totally out of touch with Immi matters, it's just a thought.

PMV can only be applied for offshore, so that would negate any BVE in existence as soon as the OP left Australia, I think?

Yes it would, the BVE would cease immediately and not possible to apply for BVB when on a BVE. But it wouldn't help anyway, well only to the extent that a PMV will process faster than the partner visa.
