You may sponsor your partner however the DHA will significantly prolong processing of a Partner Visa application where the sponsor is a Subclass 866 Visa holder. If your partner is a temporary protection visa holder, they will be unable to lodge a valid application for a Partner Visa, unless the Minister lifts a statutory bar which is automatically imposed on temporary protection visa holders and temporary protection visa applicants. It is highly unlikely the bar will be lifted.
