<blockquote class="Quote" rel="downunder1981">Newbie po, ask ko lang kung pwede ba mag apply ng visa 309/100 kahit wala pa ko sa au? Nsa pinas family ko and ako naman nasa SG. May visa 190 na ko and nag initial entry na, plan to move in sa au after a few years. Matagal kasi ang processing kung pwede ko na sana iapply ng ganito kaaga. Salamat po sa sasagot 🙂</blockquote>
You should have included them in your 190 visa application kasi doble ang fee for the spouse visa and very long ang wait. A sponsor(YOU) should usually live in Australia to apply for a spouse visa. Since you only made your initial entry and will only settle here in the next few years, its only then you can aply for a spouse visa. I suggest pagpunta mo dito isama mo family mo on tourist visas then dito mo iapply ng spouse visa 820/801. Though matagal din ang wait ang importante kasama mo na sila dito and they are qualified for any benefits due for a PR. Just make sure na walang "No further stay" ang tourist visa nila kasi in that case, kailangan din nila umalis for you to apply for spouse/dependent visa.
