Securing a Permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 100) can be a daunting process, especially when previous sponsorships raise red flags with immigration authorities. For one of our clients, this was the biggest challenge—having sponsored two previous partners in 1998 and 2004, their current application faced intense scrutiny. Without a compelling submission and strategic legal approach, their spouse’s dream of permanent residency in Australia could have been delayed or even denied. Thanks to our team’s expertise, persistence, and deep understanding of immigration law, they are now officially a permanent resident of Australia.
A Complex Case with Unique Challenges
Our client, an Australian citizen, and their spouse, a Chinese national, have been together since 2008 and married since 2016. They share an Australian citizen child, reinforcing their commitment to building a life in Australia. However, the visa process was far from straightforward.
The sponsor’s history of two previous sponsorships meant their application required extensive justification. Even though the second sponsorship was not fully completed, multiple sponsorship attempts automatically trigger heightened scrutiny from the Department of Home Affairs. To move forward, we needed to present a compelling case proving the legitimacy of their relationship and mitigating concerns surrounding the sponsor’s immigration history.
