Permanent Partner Visa Granted Despite in Marital Relationship and Being Unlawful

Background Story of Partner Visa Applicant

  • The applicant was in a marital relationship with a non-citizen,

  • overstayed in Australia for a number of years, and subsequently held bridging visas as a result of several appeals to the Tribunal and judicial courts.

  • In total, she did not hold a substantive visa for more than 10 years.

Our Success Story

We managed to get her a permanent Partner visa with a new partner she met, overcoming the technical legal requirement of Schedule 3, the lack of supporting information evidencing the new relationship, and the fact that she was still in a marital relationship.
