Hi guys, a hypothetical question:
If I am married and planning to apply for a 190 and 491 visa but my spouse is not cooperative with the requirements (e.g. English Test, Medical Exams, etc.), will I still be able to complete the whole visa process without my spouse's inputs? Should I lodge my EOI with 'no future applications for relatives'?
Does she not want to migrate or ayaw lang nya mag take ng assessment and English test? If the former, kailangan nyo muna pag usapan kasi it's a big life decision to make. If the latter, pwede ka magsubmit pa din ng EOI without claiming partner points.
I am just preparing for the worst if she doesn't really wanted to get of out of her comfort zone. I will be compelled to just proceed by myself and probably apply for her later. My concern is the probability that it will push through granting that there might still be requirements from the spouse regardless if she/he will be included in the visa application.
In addition, correct me if I'm wrong, English test from the spouse might not be required for during the EOI lodging but will be required on the final visa processing itself?
There is zero document required in the EOI stage. Though for yourself, you need to sit in an English Test and have a valid Skills Assessment beforehand to get started and submit a complete EOI. Reference numbers for those 2 are required there.
Also, few points come to mind...
- Ensure that you declare yourself as Married, kahit hindi sasama si misis. Be transparent, still.
- Ensure that the number of migrating members is indicated as 1 only.
- Though you are not claiming any partner points, just thinking out loud here, be prepared in case DHA asks details about your wife.
Hope that in the end it becomes a mutual decision for you and your wife. Sana, sabay na kayo maka migrate. Personally, it's a tough decision to make kung isa lang mauuna. 🙂
Thank you for the advise. Appreciate it. Yes, hoping for the best scenario for this. I am just preparing for worst possible scenarios ahead of time to lessen my stress na din. I am worried dun sa medical since I am hearing from various sources that the medical clearance should also include the spouse regardless if she/he is not included in the application.
Another option you can take is, to might as well include your spouse as secondary migrating applicant. Pwede naman hindi muna sya sumama sa initial move e, once your visa is granted. Pag convenient na lang sa kanya, saka sya sumunod.
In this scenario, hindi ka pa rin mag claim ng partner points, meaning no need sya mag Skills Assessment. Yung English Test, it's safer for partner to take and reach at least Competent level, no pressure. Kasi hihingin yan as evidence of functional English. Other documents to submit will be proof of relationship (marriage cert is enough, if already married), health check, and police checks for the both of you.
If you're not aware, mas mahal kasi ang subsequent entrant visa. Kaya mas ok na kasama na sya sa una pa lang ng visa application.
But yeah, it's all up you, hope it goes well. 🙂
