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 finalised. 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.

Hey sir please what should I do on my case as I got my Visa lodged and got approved for student (Subclass 500) to Australia December, 2022.
I was married before when I first entered Australia with my partner as student in 2016 and then by 2021 we separated our visa. I was on my own and on the way I met a guy and now we are married. We got married last May,2023 and we wish to apply for visa but i have been granted Student visa on Dec 2022 and at that time he was my boyfriend so I declared as separated believing that it was talking about my ex-husband. But now I want to change my situation ( relation to Married) so need your assistance. How can we proceed and what’s our chances?

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?!

hanna says
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?
Nilesh Nandan says
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.

Shyna Wemin says
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?
Nilesh Nandan says
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?

satnam says
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
Nilesh Nandan says
“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.

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
Nilesh Nandan says
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.

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.
