John and Maryjane* had been married for over thirty years. They had both been living in the United States of America where they raised their three children together.
John is a citizen of the United States and Maryjane is a dual citizen of both the USA and Australia. The couple had been to Australia on multiple occasions to visit and had decided they wanted to live in Australia permanently.
John and Maryjane weren’t sure they wanted to move to Australia right away, but they wanted to get the ball rolling on Peter’s permanent residency.
We advised the couple that they met the requirements for the grant of a Subclass 309 Offshore Partner Visa
John and Maryjane joined us as clients in April of 2021.
One of our registered migration agents sent them out a questionnaire to fill in and a list of all the documents we needed to prepare their decision-ready application soon after.
One of the reasons we recommended an offshore partner visa was that they are being granted relatively quickly at the moment (much quicker than the onshore equivalent, the subclass 820 visa).
Some of our Subclass 309 visa applications have been granted in a matter of weeks!
We collected the required information and documents from the couple and lodged an offshore partner visa application (Subclass 309) on their behalf.
We provided John and Maryjane with detailed instructions about the Department of Home Affairs’ evidence requirements including how to complete the requisite Form 888’s, the best kinds of evidence to provide, and how to write a personal statement in the form of a statutory declaration.
We requested that John was granted a permanent partner visa because of their lengthy relationship.
Since John and Maryjane had been in a relationship for longer than three years when we made the application, we provided legal submissions requesting that John be granted his subclass 309 provisional partner visa and his subclass 100 permanent partner visa at the same time.
This meant he would be a permanent resident right away and would not have to make a second application.
Four months after lodgment, we received the grant for Peter’s permanent residency, and he is now free to travel to Australia with his wife.
Needless to say, they were delighted!!
