Australian spouse immigration details 47SP

Because Australians attach importance to basic human rights, a large part of the annual immigration quota is given to the spouses of Australian citizens or permanent residents. In the Immigration Law, the definition of spouse is not based on marriage certificate, but on whether there is substantive intimate relationship between men and women. Therefore, the spouse visa can be divided into: engaged spouse, married spouse and unmarried cohabitation.

Class V300 is a temporary residence visa for cohabiting spouses;

V309 is a temporary residence visa applied by a married spouse outside Australia;

V 100 applies outside Australia and is a permanent residence visa for married couples;

V820 is an application made in Australia and a transitional visa for permanent residence of married spouses;

V80 1 is a permanent residence visa for married spouses;

The number of spouse immigrants is about 500 per year. The requirements for the applicant's own conditions are not as strict as those for skilled immigrants (who need academic qualifications and professional experience), investment immigrants (who need a lot of money and business experience) and parents immigrants (who need several children). Therefore, it has become a simple, direct and efficient immigration shortcut. Like the problems faced by immigrants in all other western countries, spouse immigrants not only love each other sincerely, but also attract some people to realize the pure G of the other immigrants through spouse marriage. The relationship between husband and wife or cohabitation of these people is nominal, which also leads to the approval and control of Australian immigrants to spouse applicants, so as to get rid of the false and keep the true, reunite the husband and wife, have a real and lasting intimate relationship in essence, and expose the nominal marriage. But sometimes, due to lack of materials and experience, even a real spouse may be refused a visa. Strict and complicated approval procedures make it very difficult for true and false spouses to apply for immigration.

Categories and application procedures

I. Married spouses

After the applicant has registered marriage with an Australian citizen or permanent resident, the latter may nominate him, and the former shall submit his/her spouse's immigration visa application. This immigrant visa application has two steps:

If the application is successful, the applicant will first obtain a temporary residence visa for two years. During these two years, the Immigration Bureau will assess whether the spouses are living in a real and lasting intimate relationship. Applications in Australia are classified as V820, and applications outside Australia are classified as V309.

Subsequently, if the relationship has been maintained, you can apply for a spouse visa for permanent residence. Application within Australia 80 1, application outside Australia 100.

Second, unmarried couples.

Australia recognizes unmarried cohabiting couples as spouses. Applicants for such visas have lived with their spouses for at least 12 months when submitting their immigration applications. This immigrant visa application has three steps:

Applicants living overseas are sponsored by their fiance/wife who is an Australian citizen and permanent resident to apply for an unmarried spouse visa. At the same time, it shows that you sincerely hope to marry your fiance/wife who will live with you. After the visa is issued, the applicant will enter Australia with a visa, and the applicant will get a temporary visa for unmarried spouses for 9 months.

In the meantime, you must register to marry your spouse.

After 2 years, it will be converted into a formal permanent residence visa.

This category can only be submitted outside Australia.

Basic conditions for applying for spouse immigration

First, the basic conditions for applying for a two-year spouse temporary residence visa

1. Married couple category: Your relationship is sincere and continuing in a planned way. The existence of this relationship is the key condition for approving immigration.

2. Type of cohabiting partner: If it is a cohabiting relationship, this relationship has lasted for 12 months (you and your partner have been in this relationship for 12 months immediately before the application date).

3. category of unmarried couples: both parties are over 18 years old (you and your fiance must be over 18 years old); Eligible to marry in Australia according to law; Sincerely hope to register marriage with the guarantor and maintain a real and long-term marriage relationship; The applicant and his unmarried spouse know each other (you and your fiance have met and know each other).

II. Basic conditions for obtaining a permanent spouse visa (basic requirements for granting a permanent spouse immigrant visa)

Married, cohabiting and unmarried people in the above categories can be converted into permanent residence visas if they meet the following conditions after two years of temporary residence:

1. has applied for and held a temporary residence visa for more than 2 years (unmarried visa holders must have registered their marriage for at least 2 years);

2. The guarantor's guarantee is still valid (that is, the spouse has not revoked the guarantee);

3. Keep a real and long-term relationship with the guarantor and live together;

4. Basic information of the guarantor:

Australian citizens or permanent residents (Australian adults (18 years old or above) who usually live in Australia;

Sponsor others to immigrate as spouses or unmarried spouses or be sponsored by others to immigrate to Australia for no more than 2 times; Moreover, in the past five years, no one has sponsored or been sponsored by others to immigrate to Australia on a spouse or unmarried spouse visa;

Did not receive pensions and subsidies from the Australian government (if they received full pensions or subsidies from the Australian government in the past year, your guarantee cannot provide an acceptable guarantee of support).

In the category of spouse visa, the immigration law repeatedly emphasizes that two people must maintain a real and long-term intimate relationship. Therefore, if the relationship breaks down and the sponsor withdraws his sponsorship within two years of the temporary visa, the applicant will not be able to obtain a permanent residence visa.

It is worth noting that although the relevant laws and regulations stipulate strict conditions, there are exceptions based on humanitarian standpoint. For example, in cases involving the death of the guarantor, spouse abuse or children, the applicant can still obtain a permanent residence visa (exempt from the 2-year requirement) without being affected by the withdrawal of the guarantor.

Questions and answers

Q 1: Can a marriage arranged by parents or others be approved? A: Yes, as long as the marriage meets the criteria of a true and lasting relationship.

Q 2: Does the guarantor need to provide financial guarantee? A: Not necessarily. First of all, the guarantor, as the spouse of the applicant, has the obligation to ensure that the applicant's living expenses will not be problematic for the first two years in Australia. However, the Immigration Bureau does not necessarily require the guarantor to issue a certificate of economic guarantee. If the Immigration Bureau thinks it is necessary to issue a certificate of financial guarantee, the guarantor's spouse does not have to be an economic guarantor at the same time, and someone else can be invited to play this role. In this case, if the applicant receives social welfare benefits in the first two years in Australia, the economic guarantor has the legal responsibility to repay the amount.

Q3: Can I apply together with my children? A: Yes, as long as the child is under 18 years old, unmarried, financially and emotionally dependent on the applicant, it will not infringe on the custody right of the other parent of the child.

Q 4: Can illegal immigrants apply for a spouse visa? Yes, but application forms are usually submitted outside Australia. If the applicant and the guarantor * * * have children to take care of or meet other conditions, it is also acceptable to submit the form in Australia.

Q 5: If the previous marriage relationship is not dissolved, can I apply for spouse immigration? A: Yes. Please refer to the discussion of cohabiting spouse visa in this chapter. Marriage certificate is not the approval standard for spouse immigrant visa.

Q 6: can I skip the waiting period of temporary residence permit for two years? A: Yes. However, strict exemption conditions for temporary residence waiting period must be met, that is, the applicant has lived with the guarantor for more than five years, or has given birth to children before the expiration of the two-year waiting period.

Q7: Does the spouse immigrant applicant need an interview? A: It is possible. If the Immigration Department feels it necessary to confirm whether the relationship between the two people is true (and lasting), it will arrange time to inform both parties to attend the interview. By asking two people separately, we can get their relationship, family, daily life, intimacy and other specific information, and then use this as a reference to confirm their relationship.
