When do I use Form 1022?
This is the form you must use to inform the Department of any changes in your personal circumstances before your visa application is finalized. These changes include if you have had a child since you made your application if you have separated, divorced, married, entered into a defacto relationship, or had a death in the family.

I am currently on BVA for a couple of years – Visa 866. I have met now my partner -Aussie born citizen, been living together for two years. I am thinking of applying for a Partner visa. My question is; will this affect the possibility of being granted a Partner visa?
Dear Shyna
Thank you for contacting MyVisa®.
Based on the information you have provided, you are eligible to lodge a partner visa application with your Australian Citizen Partner.
Please note the following information:
* You should withdraw your 866 Visa application shortly after you lodge your partner visa application. Your withdrawal will be effective when the withdrawal notice is received by the delegate who will decide the application.
* Depending on when your bridging visa was granted, your bridging visa will either expire 28 days (lodged before 19 November 2016) or 35 days (lodged after 19 November 2016) after the application has been withdrawn.
* Since you are the holder of a bridging visa, you will be required to meet additional requirements (schedule 3) in order to be eligible for the Partner Visa but this can be done on the basis that your protection claims are in fact genuine and do not allow you to go offshore to lodge.
Should you wish to get specific advice about your circumstances from me, you can book in a consultation with me here.

Please do let me know if you would like a quote partner visa as well as the schedule 3 submission noting that partner visa laws are about to change in the very near future!

Dear Nilesh, I have been granted a 485 visa three years ago. I have left Australia two years ago. 1. Do I need to notify the department that I have left and update my new home address, which is outside Australia? And how? 2. Whether notifying my left will affect my current visa? I may come back to Australia later but currently not sure when. I saw the 1022 form indicates that you do not have to notify the department of any changes in your circumstances that occurred after you were granted your visa. 3. My visa has a 8501 condition, which claims that I need to maintain a health insurance while I’m in Australia. Since I have left Australia for two years, do I need to pay the insurance?
Hello Nilesh Sir,

It is difficult to advise you on this without further discussion.

Hi Nilesh, I had applied for PR in Sep-2019, we have our baby Mar-2020 in India but due Covid situation, we delayed the applying for passport for the newborn and meanwhile we didn’t update immigration about the newborn. On 19-Oct-2020 our PR got approved and just last week we applied for kids passport. Would there be any issues in submitting 1022 form now?
