I am a PR holder currently working in Australia. I am getting married in April next year ( 9 more months ) and planning to migrate my future wife to Australia after marriage.
I am considering below 2 options:
1. Partner Visa 309/100
309 is the temporary visa has a waiting period of up to 13 months and I have read online that it can be difficult find jobs while on 309 visa. Also it will take 2 years before the permanent 100 visa is granted.
Which leads me to considering about the skilled visa 189.
2. Skilled Visa 189
ANZSCO Code: 261313 - Software Engineer
Points: 65 = 30 (age) + 20 (english) + 15 (bachelor degree)
Is there a difference in processing time if the application is made from offshore?
Which one do you think will be best option so that my partner can travel to Australia immediately after our marriage and will be eligible to work in Australia?
Thanks!
