financial capacity of partner visa sponsor?

risa_c

Hello everyone,

I am a permanent resident holder, and have stayed and worked in Australia for one year.
My work was only temporary as I was a reliever for a regular employee who was on maternity leave.
I was able to save a small amount on my AU savings account.

I am now in Manila, and about to get married.
I plan to look for work when I go back to Australia in about a month or two.
My question for sponsors of partner visa, is that do I need to have a regular work to be able to sponsor? Or can I apply my partner for a partner visa immediately after the wedding, even if I am not yet working?
Will appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

@risa_c Hi po. Tumawag ako sa DIAC kanina same tayo PR ako pero 4 months palang ako dito at magsstart palang ako magwork .tinanong ko kung pde ko na ba isponsor wife ko kahit magsisimula palang ako at 4 months palang dito, sabi nila ok lang daw as long na PR na ko. tinanong ko kung di ba iqquestion yun for financial capability ng sponsor, sabi nila, pdeng humingi ang CO ng proof pero more likely di na daw. try mo din sila tawagan para sure.

Hi @risa_c

Ask ko lang if you were able to sponsor your partner immediately after the wedding?

Thanks!

changing your surname is your choice... even in the philippines, no one can force you to change your name kung ayaw mo.

having said that, my wife (whom i married in 2011) is still using her family name by choice.

no issues, no dramas

you can try emailing your CO about your change in marital status but i reckon they don't care already at this stage.

congratulations on your marriage!
