New Subclass 820 Partner Visa Granted for Applicant Who Had Left a Family Violence Relationship
Case Summary
An applicant who had come to Australia on a Subclass 820 Partner Visa, experienced family violence and left that relationship, later fell into a new genuine relationship and sought a further Subclass 820 visa. We compiled the necessary evidence to establish the genuineness of the new relationship and secured the visa.
Background
Our client had arrived in Australia with her daughter on a Subclass 820 Partner Visa sponsored by a previous partner. After becoming a victim of family violence in that relationship, she notified the Department and left. She later met a new Australian citizen partner with whom she entered a genuine and committed relationship. The new sponsor had taken on a parental role with her daughter. When they sought our assistance, the applicant was on a bridging visa at the time of lodgement for the new Subclass 820 application.
Challenges
- Applicant was on a bridging visa at the time of lodgement for the new 820 application
- Previous 820 visa history — including the family violence breakdown — needed to be contextualised
- Demonstrating the genuineness of the new relationship clearly and convincingly
Outcome
The Department accepted the evidence and granted the Subclass 820 Partner Visa with the new sponsor.
