@ pervertedpages hi here is my advice for what is worth i received my visa about 2 months ago and will be flying out on the 9th to Western Australia what we did we said that we lost communications but have found each other again as we have been friends since we were chldren the visa we went for was a subclass 676e which gave me 12 months to stay with Master when the visa runs out what Master are hoping to do is to go away for a holiday to another country and apply back for another visa as i wish to stay with my Master perm and not temp so the visa that we will be applying for is called a de-facto visa which means when i have been with my Master for over a year i could apply to the Australian Government to be a perm resident which also covers me if Master and i ever got married in the future i hope that this helps you a little
