Can I include my kids in a Prospective Marriage Visa application?

Yes, they may be included as secondary applicants in that visa. Note that this depends on you having a legal right to remove them from the country, ie. if another parent still has joint custody then you will need their permission for this to happen.

Do I have to marry before I apply for an offshore Partner Visa?
What if we marry before the Prospective Marriage Visa is granted?

    Dear Jeff.

    I am previously married in the Philippines but separated 6yrs now. Living here in Australia for the last 3yrs I am still holding temporary visa at the moment, I applied for divorce here in Australia and the process is on going. My question is, am I allowed to marry my australian citizen partner if my divorce here in Australia will be granted? so we can apply for a partners visa.
    Thank you.

      If you are divorced legally in Australia, you may MARRY legally in Australia.

    Hi Jeff, I would like to ask if how long does it takes for prospective marriage visa now? Is it possible to be granted in less than a year if all the requirements has been made? Me and my partner wanted to know if their are chance that we can be together in less than a year if we apply. Or what is best visa recommendation you can advice for us that we can be together asap. And also I have 2 children ages 10 and 8 that we wanted to bring. Please enlighten our minds. Thank you and God bless!

      Prospective Marriage Visas are taking about 18 months these days. Yes it’s possible that it could be faster, however it’s not something that anyone can control. An uncomplicated application with perfect paperwork can take a long time, and a complex and disorganised application can be faster. There is no logic to it. Suggest you do a free visa assessment (it will take you five minutes) and we can look at all options for you.

      Please get an assessment, Aileen. I can’t advise you about a personal matter until I know more about you and your situation.

    Hi Jeff. I have a fiance from Philippines and she has 2 boys. She has experience in the vocation of Nursing Assistant. We want to bring all 3 of them over to Australia, but I am unsure what the best plan would be? I am currently working in Australia. Do you have suggestions of paths to go down to bring all 3 over, as I am a bit confused on whether the boys can come over at the same time as her or on what visas would be the best path. Appreciate your time. Would be happy to book a discussion as well if too much too answer. thanks!!

      Don’t try to go down the work visa path, Nathan! It’s very complicated. If you intend marrying? Yes, there are a number of options for you which WOULD include the boys (assuming you’re Australian yourself, and tick the right boxes). Please go to https://assessments.downundervisa.com and I can assess your case fully and advise you properly.
