澳大利亚公民配偶签证吗?
澳洲移民政策在逐步收紧,尤其是189和190等澳洲独立技术移民的配额已经严重超额了,很多专业比如工程、IT等等已经很难通过移民技术通道申请。因此,很多人将目光放到了家庭担保移民上。下面我们就来介绍一下澳洲配偶移民。 因为是移民法中一条比较特殊的签证类别,所以这里我们先简单介绍下法律中的定义: (1)Subclass 309 and Subclass 100 visas are provisional partner (marriage) visas. They allow the primary applicant to stay temporarily in Australia while their application is being considered by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), usually lasting between six months and two years, depending on your circumstances;
(2)Subclass 309 visa has a “conditional” status until you meet specific conditions required by law, which would include fulfilling the criteria for permanent residence under either the sponsorship or marriage agreement requirement (Section41(2)(b)). Once these requirements have been satisfied, Subclass 309 visa holders can then apply for a second stage visa that would eventually lead to permanent residency – this would be known as Subclass 100 visa;
(3)You must meet all other eligibility criteria including having no criminal history and being free from certain medical conditions;
(4)When applying for either a Subclass 309 or for Subclass 100, you will need to pay visa fees. If approved for both visas, the total visa fee paid may be refunded if you subsequently withdraw your application for Subclass 100 before it’s processed.
上面提到了两个不同的签证,Subclass 309 和Subclass 100, 区别如下: 首先这两种签证都是永久居留权签证,但是309是一个临时签证,而100则是一个永久居住权的过渡性签证。 其次309签证有一个“有条件”的状态,申请人必须满足一些规定的条件后转为100的永居签证才能获得完整的权利。 第三点也是最重要的一个区别在于两者申请的难易程度不同——也就是说两者的审批通过率是不一样的!一般来说,对于309来说它的审理周期一般需要三年的时间,而且成功率不是很高。
