What is a visa?
A visa is a document that allows one to travel into another country. Visas are often required in order to enter certain countries, however, not all visas will allow you entry into that designated country.
189 visa stands for the 189 Foreign Affairs Manual which gives information on how permanent residents can petition for close family members who live abroad with them when they immigrate to the U.S. There are three main points about 189 visas worth knowing: requirements of eligibility, timing, and support documentation used during immigration processing in the United States, including filing fees.
Requirements include being legally able to marry or have already married your citizen spouse within 90 days of entering the US as well as evidence showing joint assets between both parties such as bank accounts etc.
The 189 Visa is a long-term visa for those who wish to live and work in Australia. There are three important points that you should remember:
1) You must have an occupation on the Skilled Occupations List
2) You need to be sponsored by an Australian employer or state/territory government agency
3) Your spouse, de facto partner, and dependent children can also apply for 189 visas.
Why is the 189 visa important?
