Visa, MODL, whats the process?
Hi All,
We have been considering applying for a TRA assessment as my wife is a hairdresser and on the MODL list. Is the application different and not points as per a normal 136 PR visa?
Also, if she is given the visa (and applies for all of us on it) is there a limit of how many hours I can work?
The reason I ask is we have heard someone going over as a student has had their husbands hours limited to 20 hours a week.
Please clarify what our options are and what is going to be the best way to go.
We were planning to go through with me as the main applicant, as I want to travel before the rest of the family to set up house, car, job (for me) etc... Will that be possible if my wife apply's?

Once the visas are issued they must be validated within 1 year of the medicals / Police checks. The main applicant must enter Australia first, but after that any members (including the main applicant) of your family unit can stay or return to the UK.

I know that on our application, hubby is the main application on the 136 MODL skilled independant visa, however we ALL have to validate the visa, which for us, all 6 of us going out at the same time. If your wife is on the MODL list, why not just go out on her trade?
