Mighty Mouse Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The questions she can expect will be mostly about you and your family. The interviewer will be trying to establish the genuineness and strength of your relationship, even though you are married. Many of the questions will come from answers she has given in the application. I suggest that you fire a number of such questions at her until she can answer them accurately without thinking. Questions about your income, employment, family members, future plans, where you met, certain dates etc. etc. etc. Good preparation usually means good results. If there is any discrepancy in her verbal answers and the written answers stated in the visa application, she can expect more direct questioning from her case officer. Another poster recently stated that an Australian official was present during their interview. Most interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david96 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hope your application is successful and good luck to you. I have a friend who was married to a Thai lady in 1998 and a spouse visa was granted to Aust. in 1999, howerever they divorsed in 2004 and he has remarried in Thailand and wishes to sponsor his new wife to Aust. He is wondering if Immigration restrict the number of sponsorships in say a 10 year period.Any TV members have any info? And what sort of questions would be asked at an interview?

Mighty Mouse Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 David, As far as I know Immigration don't have a policy regarding restricting the number of visas they will issue within a certain time frame. Why not suggest to your friend that he telephones Immigration in his Capital City and asks them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G,day, From my experiances with sponsoring a spouse applicant. An Australian person can only sponsor 2 overdseas applicants in their life time. But there is a priviso.. And that is if there are any children from the latest union are involved there ia a possibility that rule can be overcome...Hope this helps, cheers, lesdunbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David... read page 13 and 14 of the booklet 1 on the link I have posted here for you. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1127.pdf It is a PDF file and you will need adobe to read it. In short your mate has no problems....there is a limit of two sponsorships unless compelling circumstances apply as another poster said....He cannot sponsor a partner within 5 years of sponsoring another.

aussiestyle1983 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 GBurns is spot on. Only 2 sponsors in your lifetime and you must wait 5 years after sponsoring your first applicant to try to sponsor someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david96 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks for the post. I have passed the info on. He did not have any domestic violence problems she just walked out when her permanent visa was granted,money was behind it, and there were no dependants to worry about.
