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.

  1. Hello sir ,
    I have changed my first name in Australia through BDM.
    I’m a permanent resident here. Planning to apply for Austral citizen ship next month. My Indian passport hasn’t updated with my new name. Is it okay to apply citizenship without changing my name in my passport. Also do I have to update to Home affairs department about my name change. Which form do I have to use. Your reply shall be highly appreciated.

  4. Hi!
    I am waiting for a process of 408 covid-19visa which is not granted yet. To be specific, I submitted a form on 2nd September before mature of my previous (500 visa) which was 9th September.
    I ‘ve employed in a critical sector such as hospitality industry (restaurant) and would like to change a venue with employer.
    In that case, should i submit a form of changes of circumstances or should I cancel a application and submit a new application before the visa approves?!

  6. Hi sir,

    I have sponsored my fiancee for PMV 300 over a year now, however, we are not engaged anymore, she has not approved visa yet. I would like to inform the imm that we are not together anymore and I wish to cancel my scholarship for her. which form do I need to sumbit. and how will she be inform of the visa or sponsorshipe cancellation ?

  7. I lodge an application for 485, two years ago. I was in a relationship with somebody that year and I include him in my visa, he was overseas when that happened so he was listed as a dependant. The situation changed and he never came back. He never got a visa issued under my visa, but we never notified IMMI. 1.5 years after I met someone and we want to get married and apply for partner visa. Would this affect my application?

    1. You can’t change what has happened in the past.

      It seems that you are now the holder of a 485 visa and there has been no 485 visa granted to your former partner.

      I would proceed to lodge a fresh partner visa sponsored by your current partner, making sure that all answers are correct. I expect you’ll be ok if you meet the standard time of application criteria.

      Should you wish to get specific advice about your circumstances from me, you can book in a consultation with me.
