Hello,
I had a case of a client who lodged an offshore Partner Visa application. While awaiting for a decision, he applied for a Visitor visa to come to Australia to visit his sponsoring Partner. And guess what: His Visitor Visa was approved. Next business day his Partner Visa got approved. Imagine if it was other way around...
About the effect of Section 82.
I cannot recall as to which provision I have referred to in the past, however I remember that there is a provision in which the grant of more favourable/stronger visa always prevails in a case of multiple approvals granted for a person. So, I am a bit puzzled to read that on the grant of most recent temporary visa could override/invalidate a permanent visa granted earlier.
Am I missing something ?
