Onshore Partner Visa 820/801 & Sponsor Character Granted
CASE TYPE
The client came to us wanting to apply for a partner visa onshore 820/801. Sponsor had an extensive criminal record. Applicant and sponsor decided to engage in ISL to resolve his character issue and meet the legal requirement for an approved partner sponsor.
CASE BACKGROUND DIFFICULTY
The complexity of this partner visa application was to demonstrate how the applicant had reformed since his last criminal offence and has maintained a good character.
CASE STRATEGY
We prepared the partner visa application disclosing his convictions alongside a character submission which explained:
- The applicant’s acceptance of his actions and remorse
- How the applicant has reformed.
- The applicant’s enduring moral qualities
- How the community perceive the applicant’s character (family, friends and colleagues)
The character submission also addressed the legal requirements and arguments.
CASE OUTCOME
ISL compiled a detailed partner visa application addressing the sponsors previous criminal record. We waited the published processing time; the applicant was finally granted both the 820 and 801 partner visa and is eligible for citizenship in 12 months.
