  2. Hi Nilesh, With an onshore visitor visa application which is still in progress can applicant request to change length of stay (from 6 months to 12 months or more) by submitting notification of change in circumstances form?

  3. hello sir, can you please explain what does CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCE means? I applied parent visa subclass 864 for mother as sponsor. But, now, my wife wishes to withdraw her documents and support attached with form no.40. Now, i have been told to fill up form no.1022 to notify any change in circumstances. Does her withdrawal covers change in circumstances? what is the effect if i do not inform about the withdrawl. PLEASE HELP

    1. “Circumstances change” means such a change in your circumstances that results in an answer to a question on any form becoming incorrect in the new circumstances.

      Where there is a change in your circumstances you must, as soon as practicable, inform an officer in writing of the new circumstances and of the correct answer in any form.

      You have mentioned that your wife wishes to withdraw her support. We understand in the form 40, there is a question where the sponsor’s partner needs to consent to the sponsorship application. So, the answer on your sponsorship form is now likely to have become incorrect.

      Therefore, you need to notify the Department about the change.

      Please contact us to get specific advice above your situation.

  4. Hlo sir,I want to update my marital status in Australia embassy because I came here on student visa but now I got married on jan 2020.please help me

    1. Firstly, you can notify the Department of Home Affairs about any change to your circumstances including the fact that you have since married your partner.

      Secondly you could give consideration to lodging a fresh student visa application with your dependent partner as a dependent in the new application that you are lodging.

      If this fresh visa application is approved then both you and your partner will hold a student visa.

      If this is done quickly then it may not be necessary to lodge a separate notification to immigration about your marital status as this purpose will have been served by the fact of the lodgement of the fresh application for a visa.

      Please let me know how you go with this. Thank you very much for your question.

    1. To be honest I have no idea what form you should fill in either because information you provided has many possibilities.

      if you wish to get some advice in relation to what to do next with your visa application you can book in a consultation with me.

      if you would simply like to work out whether I’m the right person to assist you then you can book in a quick chat with me for this purpose.

      Alternatively please provide more details about the immigration problem that you are having.
