Hi everyone,

I have recently got pre-invite under the Subclass 190 visa and have been responding to a series of information requests from my case officer regarding my residency in Australia from May 2019 to June 2024.

Here’s the situation so far:

• I couldn’t provide a lease agreement because I was living with my sister and brother-in-law.

• My case officer then asked for bank statements, so I submitted them from September 2019 onward, when I opened my account after getting my first job.

• She asked which account I used for earlier domestic transactions, and I explained that I used my sister and brother-in-law’s joint account, and I highlighted the relevant transactions made on my behalf.

• Later, she asked for my airline ticket from when I arrived in Australia on a Visitor Visa in 2019. Since the ticket had a return flight, she questioned when I returned to Australia. I explained that I never left—I cancelled the return ticket after lodging my Student Visa, and I remained lawfully in Australia on a Bridging Visa.

• I also explained that I was allowed to attend university while on the bridging visa and provided emails from my education agent and university confirming this.

Documents I’ve provided so far include:

• Proof of university enrolment

• Visitor Visa grant notice

• Bridging Visa grant notice

• Student Visa document

• Old passport pages showing arrival/departure stamps (which confirm I never left)

• Bank statements from September 2019

• Details of the joint account used earlier

I’d really appreciate any advice on whether I should provide more documents or clarify anything further with the case officer.

Thanks in advance!
