Greetings!
My partner and I are considering separation/divorce. We have been married 3 years (in a relationship for 10). We both have been residing in Australia for 1 year (I am on a 487, and she is my dependent). My employer has nominated me for the 186(?) employer nominated visa. We were about to submit our PR application in April during which time our marriage dissolved.
My questions are:
1. Do I speak with my employer first, informing them of the change in circumstance? Will this involve the employer submitting a new/fresh nomination on my behalf?
2. Do I submit the PR application and only after inform Immigration of the change in circumstance?
3. How will 1 and 2 above affect my partner's ability to remain in Australia (where she has a thriving career)?
Many thanks for your assistance.
