820/801 Same-Sex Partner Visa Grant: Successful 2-Year Waiting Period Waiver for Direct PR
Case Summary
Background:
This case involved a same-sex couple who had been living together for approximately three years. The main challenge was to demonstrate that their relationship was sufficiently mature and stable to qualify for direct grant of the permanent partner visa, waiving the usual two-year waiting period on a temporary visa.
Taking Over the Case:
Upon accepting the case, we conducted thorough analysis and developed a strategic approach:
Relationship Depth Assessment: Conducted detailed analysis of the evidence quality for the three-year cohabitation period, confirming the genuineness and continuity of the relationship met the standards for direct application for the subclass 801 permanent visa.
Waiver Eligibility Argumentation: Prepared comprehensive legal basis and factual evidence to demonstrate that the relationship had reached the requirements for waiving the two-year waiting period.
Complete Relationship Evidence Organization: Systematically collected and organized multidimensional evidence including cohabitation proof, financial transaction records, and social relationship recognition.
Application Strategy Optimization: Adopted a direct permanent residency application strategy, avoiding unnecessary temporary visa stages.
Successful Outcome:
We lodged the application in early October 2018. The Department, upon assessment, accepted our arguments. The client’s subclass 820 temporary partner visa and subclass 801 permanent visa were granted simultaneously on April 28, 2020, successfully waiving the two-year waiting period requirement and obtaining permanent residency directly.
This case demonstrates our expertise in handling special category partner visas. Through accurate legal judgment and comprehensive evidence preparation, we assisted the client in achieving the goal of obtaining permanent residency directly.
