Does anyone know if there is an impact to those who were issued Skilled Migration visas (IT) pre 2007, have had them validated, but are currently not in Australia?

Re: Got your PR, now want your partner to come with you

Thanks pollyanna

I have validated the visa yeah.

So I can add her to it after that then.

Got your PR, now want your partner to come with you

Is this possible?

Can they be added to your PR?

I do intend to marry her.

What is the way forward or is it just hard luck?

Any help greatly appreciated,

Woah,

Re: BBC Article on new 5 points allocation
