Overview
According to the requirement of obtaining a partner visa, which in this case is not possible,
you need to meet some additional validity criteria, as you are not holding a substantive visa.
In addition, the visa you are holding i.e. Bridging E visa will also expire within 35 days from
the AAT’s decisions. Therefore, you will be needed to meet the overall additional criteria for
a short-term stay visa.
Options
Ebony has to meet the additional criteria for staying in Australia since she does have a
substantive visa. Hence, in this context, the migration law of Australia can be applied. This
includes Australian skilled immigration for employment and student visa for international
students with specific duration. However, this does not apply in case of Ebony. In addition, it
also includes a visa for business and investment for enhancing economic development. The
next type of visa is known as a family visa, which can be received for some specific
conditions and types. This further comprises a visitor visa for tourists. I have noticed that you
already have considered the visitor visa (subclass 6001) and are currently under a bridging E
visa, but as per your requirement, you need to apply for a temporary visa. After considering
your current situation, I would like to advise you for applying for these two visas i.e. bridging
visa C (subclass 0302) along with Bridging visa D (subclass 0403 and 0414)
I have noticed that you have come to Australia through a visitor visa (subclass 600). This has
provided you the permission to stay Australia for a period of 12 to 18 months. This section
1The Visitor visa (subclass 600) lets you visit Australia for tourism or business visitor
2 Bridging Visa C - BVC subclass 030: A BVC allows you to remain lawfully in Australia until a decision is
made on your substantive visa application.
3 The subclass 040 (prospective applicant) visa is available to people who: have no visa at the moment or whose
substantive visa will expire within 3 working days; and. have attempted to make a valid application for a
substantive visa but was unable to do so.
4 A Bridging Visa D (BVD) (Subclass 040-041) Is A Temporary Visa That Allows An Individual To Stay In
Australia For A Short Period Until They Are Able To Make A Substantive Visa Application Or Make
Arrangements To Leave Australia.
