820 비자를 신청된 다음에 만약 820 비자 신청서 처리중에 스폰서 (호주 영권자 / 시민권자)가 사망을 하는 경우 (생각하고 싶지 않지만 실제 이런 일이 발생한다면) 과연 그 신청된 신청서는 어떻게 될까요?

사람 사는 세상에 이런 일이 없다고 장담할 수 없기에 해당 법이 있습니다.

아래와 같은 policy가 마련되어 있습니다.

3.3.2.19. Must have developed close ties

Paragraphs 820.211(7)(e) and 820.221(2)(c) require the applicant to demonstrate that they have developed close business, cultural or personal ties in Australia. Policy and procedure on business, cultural and personal ties are given separately below. Delegates should not regard these examples as exhaustive and should assess claims on a case-by-case basis.

Business ties

In assessing this criterion, delegates should take into consideration that, under policy:

• a business tie may include ownership of the business in which the applicant has an ongoing and active interest; and (사업주이며) 
• an applicant is capable of having developed a business tie in Australia only if that business operates in Australia. (호주에서만 사업을 하고 있었는가?)

In assessing whether a business tie is close, delegates may consider:

• the extent and nature of the activities of the business;
• the extent of the applicant’s active interest/involvement in their business; and
• the extent, to which the refusal of the Subclass 820 visa would cause economic hardship to that business or to business partners/associates. For example, if the business ties are indeed ‘close’, refusal of the visa would have a detrimental economic impact that is significant and quantifiable.

Cultural ties

In assessing this criterion, delegates should take into consideration that, under policy:

• ties of a cultural nature are envisaged as (but not limited to) the arts, music, or literature; and
• an applicant is capable of having developed a cultural tie in Australia only if they participate in, or contribute to, cultural activities.

In assessing whether or not those cultural ties in Australia are close, delegates should consider the extent of the applicant’s participation in or contribution to those cultural activities. (호주에서 예술, 음악 및 문학에 기여도가 있는지 여부)

Personal ties

In assessing this criterion, delegates should take into consideration that, under policy:

• personal ties include close relationships with family and/or friends in Australia; and/or
• ongoing carer responsibilities for the child/ren of the relationship or sponsor’s child/ren; and
• a tie is incapable of being close unless the applicant and the relevant person(s) have regular and ongoing contact.

In assessing whether the tie is close, delegates may also have regard to the extent of the tie, taking into consideration: (가족 / 친구와의 관계)

• the applicant’s aggregate periods of residence in Australia and their age during those periods;
• the degree of support shown for the application by relatives and/or friends in Australia; and
• the degree of emotional ties with (including dependence on) those relatives and close personal friends in Australia.

위와 같이 3가지 분야의 관계 정도가 얼마나 되는지에 따라 스폰서의 사망에도 불구하고 비자 그란트 여부가 결정될 수 있습니다.
