Timeline For Family Reunification through GV

[anonymous69]

@tommigun @anonymous94 I am wary too but it seems there is an independent data point from another, long standing poster here that AIMA allowed GV renewal even after the main applicant became a citizen:

@Lala

We’ve renewed twice since my spouse became a citizen, always on the GV track, although this year it was converted to D2 (like other property GV’s). I was worried that technically we don’t meet the requirements (spouse is a citizen, properties sold etc), but apparently according to AIMA we do.

I would love to know whether there is a legal basis for this, or whether it was just AIMA exercising discretion to be lenient. If the latter, there is no guarantee it would still work this way in future.
