Re: 175 PR - can secondary applicant validate visa before primary applicant?

well, there is nothing on the grant letter. Would it suddenly pop up out of nowhere on the visa sticker?

Re: 175 PR - can secondary applicant validate visa before primary applicant?

so theoretically, if there is no such clause on the grant letter, then this clause shouldn't suddenly pop up on the visa stamp, right?

Re: 175 PR - can secondary applicant validate visa before primary applicant?

Thanks Pollyana! I had no idea that the tourist visa would 'kill' my PR visa. Good to know. Whow, that really freaked me out.

I'll better get in touch with DIAC about this.

The company can sponsor him on a 457 visa without him having to leave the country. My company did this recently and it is pretty straight forward.

Re: Non IELTS and Second Instalment Charges?

Just out of interest, did you supply the IELTS test for your spouse when applying for the visa or did you submit the results while the visa was already submitted?

Re: 175 applications without IELTS results?

I'm not the main applicant. I assumed that this is only to avoid the second installment which would be incurred if one can't proof sufficient english for the secondary applicants.

I love Balmain. Seems like everybody does, so after hitting the Saturday viewings every week, we gave up to ever find anything in this great spot.

Hi Steve, same here! I only tend to apply for jobs that are a 100% match between the job spec and my skills and still no success. Very frustrating!

I am on the 457 partner visa. It's my partner, who is tied to his job. Theoretically I am eligible to work for anyone and anywhere for the next four years.
