Hi there Thanks for replying and for the info! That answers my question. Also, would you happen to know a realistic time frame for how long it takes for the temporary Offshore Visa to be granted?

Hi there I have a question about the Partner Visa for a UK citizen moving to Australia. I'm an Australian citizen and my fiancee is a UK citizen.
