My Friend Did His/Her Application Like This…

You have to keep in mind that no two applications are the same as the law changes quite frequently. Your situation and your friend’s situations are not identical as you may have a different background, different Bachelor certificate, a different job, the law might have changed or even holding different visa subclasses so what works for your friend may not be the best options for you, only compare if your situation is EXACTLY the same. You need to make sure that you get advice from a migration agent/lawyer that specifically tailored to your current situation.

My Siblings Hold Permanent Residence So My Permanece Residence Will Be Easier

The fact that your sibling is a permanent residence/Australian citizenship does not give a positive effect on your visa application as the case officer is assessing you based on your application submission.

Partner Visa Is Easy To Get Permanent Residence

Even for genuine relationships, you still have to show the evidence of your relationships for at least 2 years after lodging the stage 1 application because the case officer has to be convinced with documents to show that you are genuinely committed to your partner/spouse.

This could take up to 4 to 5 years.
