Thanks so much @WestAfrican

Thanks so much @akinke and @soliton.

Hello gurus in the house, Pls i need your candid advice on this issue. I am a phd student in Australia and i started my course some few months back. I am married but came alone without my husband with the hope of putting up a subsequent entrant visa as soon as i am settled. However, when I came here I got to know that its not easy as i tot. I got to know of some people (basically Indians) that have put up this same visa and those getting grants at the moment applied late august 2018 while refusal rate is about less say 20-30%. Anyway I approached a very reliable agent here in australia that has high success rate and asked him if i can put up a subsequent entrant for my spouse and his advice was: I might end up waiting for up to 6,7,8 months or even 1year. He advice i put up a visitor visa that if after they lodge it for me and he is granted that they will put up subsequent entrant here if he does not have no further stay condition . That he will be on a bridging visa here in Aussie until the outcome of his subsequent entrant. Tho he also made me to understand that he cant work while on visitor and bridging visa.


My question to the house pls: do you know of anyone that has gone through similar route?
Is the processing time for subsequent entrant different for different countries lets say india or nigeria
Im sorry for the long epistle
