Subclass 309 Offshore Partner Visa Granted in 14 Months for Pregnant Applicant Facing Documentation Challenges
Case Summary
An applicant who had married an Australian citizen overseas and discovered she was pregnant was separated from her husband after his return to Australia. We assisted with a Subclass 309 Offshore Partner Visa application, helping navigate significant documentation challenges in obtaining medical and identity records in the applicant's home country.
Background
Our client (the sponsor) had met and married the applicant while travelling overseas. After the applicant discovered she was pregnant with their first child, the sponsor returned to Australia. The couple had been married for a year but were living separately in different countries. The sponsor sought our help to obtain a Subclass 309 Offshore Partner Visa. A significant challenge arose because the applicant was required to obtain medical and identity documentation in her home country, and travelling to access those documents in the required locations proved difficult.
Challenges
- Couple had been living separately in different countries since the marriage
- Applicant faced significant difficulties obtaining medical and identification documents in her home country
- Application needed to include the couple's child as a secondary applicant
- Demonstrating genuine relationship despite enforced separation and limited time living together
Outcome
The Subclass 309 Offshore Partner Visa was granted to both the applicant and their child within 14 months.
