Question No. 2

1. For people who are in a committed partnership with an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, the Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) is a type of Australian visa. With this visa, the applicant and their partner are able to reside, work, and study in Australia. While the Subclass 801 is a permanent visa, the Subclass 820 is only valid temporarily. One can only apply for the Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) if he/she is married to any Australian Citizen or is in a de facto relationship with the Australian Citizen. The Applicant of the Partner Visa and his partner must be able to demonstrate the sincerity of their bond. However,  If the connection with the primary TSS visa holder ends because of deportation or other factors linked to the offense, the dependent visa holder's eligibility to apply for a Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) may be impacted. A real and ongoing relationship with an eligible sponsor, such as an Australian citizen or permanent resident, is required in order to submit an application for a partner visa. However,  Freida can still apply for the Partner Visa if she is able to show a sincere relationship with another man who is an Australian Citizen or if she marries an Australian Citizen.
2. Yes, the advice to Frieda would differ if she stated that she had gotten a notification relating cancelation of the visa.  If the relationship with the primary TSS visa holder ends due to deportation or other circumstances resulting from the drug-related offense. Depending on their unique circumstances and qualifications, they may need to look into alternative visa options if they want to stay in Australia, such as student visas, work visas, or skilled migration visas. So, Frieda can apply for a student visa, work visa, and partner visa showing that she is not related to offenses committed by the partner and is sincere towards Australia.
