Default Subclass 309 Spouse Visa Query

Dear All,

I've got my PR Visa (Subclass 176 - Family Sponsored) in September 2011. I have not visited Australia yet. My last date to enter Australia is 5th May 2012. I have recently got married and planning to go along with my wife after getting Tourist Visa for her.

Meanwhile I am also planning to launch Dependent Visa(Subclass 309) for My Wife this week.

My query is, Can I apply Dependent Visa for my wife before making my initial entry to Australia (after getting PR)? OR should I make my first entry Australia and then only would I be able to apply Spouse Visa for my Wife?

Query 2 : Is there any process involved or anything we need to do after/before making initial entry after getting PR?

Please Reply...

Many Thanks
Sunil

Is there any reason why your wife was not added as dependent on your visa?
I wouldnt advise trying to apply for her visa until you have validated yours. Until you have validated your visa is not official!
You did not recieve the 'must not marry before entry' condition on your visa?
Have you already notified DIAC you have married? Or even that you intended to marry? You must inform them of such changes right up until the day you validate.

Thanks for the reply shel..

I've got my PR in September 2011. I got married recently in Feb. 2012. That's the reason i have not included her in my application..
What you mean by Validation? Is crossing the immigration/passing through port of entry is validation? Pls. Confirm.
I don't have 'must not marry before entry' condition on my visa. My Wife launching her Dependent visa application this week, it would take 6-7 months time to get her Visa. Meanwhile to stay with me in Aus. she is planning to apply Tourist Visa.

Pls. Suggest?

Regards
Sunil

Did you inform your CO you were getting married if you did so before getting your visa?
