Family Sponsored Visitor Visa Granted with Ongoing Offshore Partner Visa Application and Remained in Australian on a Bridging Visa

Background Story of the Applicant and Sponsor of the Partner Visa

The client is the Australian Sponsor of an Indian National.
He came to us to help him obtain a visa for his newly wedded wife so she could visit him in Australia.
They had lodged an offshore Partner Visa and had read from the Internet that it is now very difficult for the wife to visit him as the department may scrutinise her intention to remain in Australia temporarily.

We advised our client on the different options of the Visitor Visas available.
Upon choosing between the pros and cons between different Visitor Visas, the sponsor eventually agreed on the family-sponsored stream despite knowing that his wife will not be able to lodge any substantive visa application during her time in Australia.
The Visitor visa was eventually granted after lengthy processing time.

After coming to Australia on the family-sponsored visitor visa granted above, the Applicant now wishes to remain in Australia with her husband (the Sponsor).
Knowing that there was the condition of 8503 which prohibits the Applicant to apply any other substantive visa (other than protection visa), we had to be very careful when addressing her current situation as we understood the technicality of this.
Upon researching the law, we noted that the client was indeed eligible for a Bridging Visa.
When we made the application to the case officer, the case officer initially disagreed with us as it was quite an unusual proposition we had made to them and had to liaise with their legal team to verify our arguments.
Our arguments are accepted. The Applicant is currently here with her husband, with access to medicare, and full working right.
