More downsides of onshore visa applications
I've explained some of the differences between offshore partner visas and onshore partner
visas in a recent BLOG article, and explained some of
the differences between getting a prospective marriage visa
or offshore partner visa versus organizing it onshore in Australia.
Here are a few more thoughts.
What is an onshore visa application?
An onshore visa application means any visa application applied-for inside Australia while
the visa applicant is also inside Australia.
If you're applying anywhere but in Australia it's an offshore visa
application.
So that means the applicant is obviously inside Australia at that time, and that in itself
adds pressures.
What are the pressures with onshore visa applications?
The main issue is always going to be the ticking-clock issue.
If you are inside Australia on a temporary visa, like a tourist visa, you will have an
expiry date.
You will have a date when that visa will run out and
the visa holder risks being in Australia unlawfully.
And is being in Australia unlawfully such a bad thing?
Ohhhh, yes.
Most definitely!
The old term was "illegal immigrant".
It means you have no legal right to be inside Australia, and you risk being arrested
by the police or by the DIBP people and put in a detention centre and/or deported.
Not a good start to a partner visa application.
And yes, the issue of running out of time happens all too often.
I don't know what it is, but once a couple are together inside Australia they
act like there is no pressure on them.
They're home.
And no one can imagine anyone with them can get tossed
out of Australia.
So they tend to just not worry about it until the date is suddenly looming and
they realise they've run out of time.
If they are in different countries and missing each other, the loneliness
drives them on.
But once they're together sometimes they become.....well?
Lazy?
Certainly impractical.
We're not sure exactly what happens, because we can hardly ask what people are doing all
day.
But often the sense of urgency simply isn't there.
They're together, so maybe it's the subconscious mind tell
them that they've already reached the finish line?
No idea.
Or maybe it's the daily romance?
Whatever it is, it means that applicants often don't
treat the situation seriously enough and time soon disappears
and the last legal day that the visa holder can be in Australia comes up really quickly.
And what happens when the visa is about to run out?
Three choices, basically.
Overstay: Terrible choice, which will ruin your future together.
Lodge a substandard application: Another terrible choice, which can result in a refusal of that
visa application.
Down Under Visa don't do rush-jobs, and we can't just push every other legitimate visa
application aside and concentrate on one application because of a client leaving everything to
the last minute.
Return to Philippines: An awful option, one of which we know you don't want to take.
You get used to being together on a daily basis, and if you've
been living together and waking up next to each other for
the last 3 - 6 months or so and suddenly need to say goodbye for an unknown period of time,
that would be really traumatic.
Better than the two options above, but still not something you want.
Another tourist visa application?
Is that an option?
Well, yes sometimes we end up doing that.
Far from desirable, of course.
Plus it's very wrong to assume that this is somehow easy because you just had
a tourist visa application.
There is no such thing as a "visa extension" for an Australian tourist visa.
It's a new application, and requires new documentation.
Some of what we have from the last application can
be reused, but not all or most.
And we still have the issue of us having to push everyone else off the
queue because someone wasn't organized.
We won't leave you in the lurch, but we don't like doing this.
And in some cases we literally don't have the time to do it even if we had nothing else
to do.
And be aware too that you may end up being refused anyway.
This is especially the case if you've been putting things off and dragging things out
and have had one too many extensions further onshore visa
applications.
We had one once where they granted it......for a two week stay!
That meant enough time to pack her bags and say her goodbyes.
Conclusion?
Choose your visa type wisely.
If you are efficient and are prepared to take this all very
seriously and will not take the ticking clock of a temporary visa stay lightly, then you
can consider an onshore partner visa application.
If you don't believe you can make the best use of this time, then
choose on offshore application.
Subclass 309 Offshore partner visa or Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage
Visa (Fiance Visa).
They're taking considerably less time to process these days, and come with no
deadlines at all.
You can take the time you need to prepare an excellent application and lodge the visa
application when it's actually ready.
