Hello,

I have a 309 grant letter with first entry, arrive by date as feb 2021. I dont have any travel restrictions as my husband is an australian citizen and I have a grant letter. Me and my husband are residing in united states. Considering the COVID-19 situation we are not comfortable travelling back and forth looking for possible suggestions for my scenario has anyone faced this situation and got an extension for the first entry date?

Thank you in advance
Ann

The dept will not give you an extension on your first entry date ( as per the recent cases observed no one got an extension). But, if the reason for you not travelling is COVID-19 then they will not consider to cancel your visa and in this case you will have to enter Australia before your visa expires. Email department about condition and as the sponsor of the visa ( Your husband) is with you it should not be a problem.

You should find these details on the Visa grant notification, below the case officer name.
