    @grace1980 hi... since married ka na pala then just use your existing (tourist) visa and apply a bridging visa once you’re here in Australia.

    @grace1980 , just ensure your tourist visa does not have condition 8503. If not, then you may apply for partner visa in Australia. You will be granted Bridging Visa which will allow you to remain in Australia whilst waiting for the outcome.

    Hope this helps.

    @Meeshaa Hindi po ina-apply ang bridging visa... you need to have applied for a partner visa and when the current TV expired a bridging visa will automatically be issued

    @Mia yes your need to apply partner visa thru bridging visa which can be issued quickly while in Australia before and not after your current visa expires.

    Hi, ask ko lang ano pwede pa kayang proof na iprovide to prove na babalik. I was denied in my first tv app due to my work, home based kasi sya. Parang nakikita nila na walang benefits ung work so possible di ako bumalik.

    Hi anyone here who have tried to apply my Health declaration first prior to lodging your visa? Kasi I will be taking IRON program in IHNA. Then one more question guys there is a question about country of residence. Should I put the country where I am currently working or my home country. Thanks in Advance.

    @seekmigration. :) Hello everyone. I hope may makatulong sa inquiry ko. Planning to apply partner visa onshore sc820 with my son. Will lodge tourist visa soon. Im currently unemployed and the only proof i have is my savings acct and sponsorship ng partner ko. will these be sufficient kaya para magrant tourist visa namin ng baby ko? Or possible po ba ako muna magapply ng tourist visa and maiiwan muna baby ko para may reason na babalik din ako ng pinas, then kuhanan na lang namin ng tourist visa si baby after ng first exit ko sa australia?

    Ilan days po marelease ang Bridging Visa B (BVB)? Maraming salamat sa answers po!
