Hello,
I got my Skilled (Migrant) (class VE) subclass 175 (Skilled -Independent) visa in January 2012.I am an Indian citizen currently in Bangalore. I am getting married in June and me and my wife plan to move to Australia immediately after that. I plan to apply for a dependent visa in June once we get the marriage certificate. I was told that her visa will take about 6months to come. We want to go as soon as possible.
How about if she gets an Australian tourist visa, and we both come to Australia around July, and then she can come back to collect her dependent visa when it arrives?
Please advise if this sounds right or if there are other better alternate options? Also, can she look for a job in tourist visa. She is an IT professional.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank You very much.
BJ
