Australia /
Australian Spouse Visa For The Polish [13]
Thanks Moniccca! It looks like we need to get ourselves organised. My fiancee is so relaxed about the whole thing always saying things like "I'm sure they do not need that much information" or "why would they need that? I'm sure that is not important". But I remember when I applied for my residency ten years ago and how complicated it was. So I am not expecting this to be a particular easy walk in the park.
Hello again,
I am just reading through the Partner Migration booklet 1127, and I am wondering if I can even sponsor my fiancee. I am an Australian Permanent Resident and have been since 2003 however when I read the sponsorship eligibility stuff it said:
"If you are an Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, you are required to be usually resident in Australia."
The problem is that I have been living and working as a teacher in Poland for the last 2.5 years. The reason we have been here and not in Australia is because Weronika is Polish and we have been getting her through university. University in Poland is free for Polish citizens so it made sense that we completed her studies here. She studies English and French and teaches English in her part time job. She is due to finish her masters degree soon and after this we would be married before coming back to Australia.
Hmmm..... I'm not sure what to do? Should I look for a different sponsor? Obviously I would prefer that the sponsor can be myself.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
