How to get my husband into Australia on a visitors visa?

[Becky33]

My husband is Nigerian by birth and is currently living in Cambodia. I met my husband last year online and got married last July in Cambodia. He is trying to apply for a visitors visa, but has lost some of his documents in order to apply. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? Am in a crucial situation in which my husband has to be here sooner than later.

Hi Becky,

You are in a potentially tricky situation. I have assisted many people who have met over the net and also had many clients from African background who, for one reason or another, have lost some documents. I'd be delighted to give you a hand if you would like to send me a message at my website.

Essentially, to apply for a spouse visa, you need to show genuine-ness of relationship. Any documentation which shows that you are in a continuing relationship (phone bills, letters, cards, emails etc) is important. Length of relationship and past relationship record will also be taken into consideration.

Be careful if you are thinking of a visitor visa for your husband; I recommend you take professional advice before lodging a visitor visa applciation.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Vicki

You will need to explain what documents he has lost.

Err, you will need to explain why he's in Cambodia! Kidding...

What is your nationality? And, certainly, what has he lost? If it's things like birth certificate - any chance of getting a replacement? And if you are married, why apply for a visitor's visa? I am assuming Australia does have a 'no switching' rule like the UK?
