Taking the spouse to Aus.
I have not married yet but plan to do so soon.
I am also going to apply for australiam immigration as well.
What will be the fastest way (less expensive as well) through which i can take my spouse to australia.
Note: My spouse doesn't qualify under independent skilled category.

Re: Taking the spouse to Aus.
If you have not applied to DIMIA yet, include your spouse (legally married) with your application when you do lodge it. This will not attract any additional fee other than the standard skills visa fee.
If you have applied to DIMIA already, and then get married legally, fill up a Form 1022 Change of Circumstances, inserting your legal spouse's details and that you wish to include him/her in your application for migration. Include all the documentation that's required for a spouse. This will also not attract any additional fee other than the standard skills visa fee.
If your visa has already be granted, but you have not made your initial first entry to Australia, you should note that most skilled visa would have a condition barring the single migrant from marrying before first entry to Australia as a PR. In this case, you have to wait till you have entered Ausrtalia as a PR before you marry and sponsor your spouse over on a spouse (temporary) visa, which includes the stipulated spouse visa fee.
If your visa has already been validated, you may sponsor your spouse on a spouse (temporary) visa, which includes the stipulated visa fee.

Hi Peter,
Actually, the form to use is the form 47A.

Re: Taking the spouse to Aus.
Hi George,
Thanks for that. Won't Form 1022 still be required if the applicant got hitched after his/her application was lodged but before his/her visa was granted?
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter,
If you lodge a form 47A there won't be any need to declare the spouse using
form 1022. And if you did declare using form 1022 DIMIA would just send you
a form 47A and ask for proof of the relationship anyway.
