Dependant Visa Lodgement
Hello Everyone,
Currently, am a Temporary resident living in Australia and my visa expires on March.
My wife who's overseas at the moment is about to launch student visa.
Since my visa will be expiring soon, I have planned to apply for a dependent visa while me being onshore.
Recently I heard from my consultant that if the primary applicant launches the application offshore, secondary applicant will be unable to launch from onshore.
Could someone please assist me on this?
Thanks in advance.

If your wife is applying for a student visa, you can be included in her application as a dependant, but I would guess that as she is overseas you may need to be too. If your consultant is not a MARA registered migration agent, I would find one who is.

I wonder why you are using a consultant if you doubt their word

I consulted two migration agents, where they both differ with their statement.
So wanted to confirm.
