I am arriving in Australia after almost one year of the visa granted to me . Does my visa duration start from that day or the date on which it was granted ?
 
Hi



I am on Dependent 500 visa and our visa is expiring in May 2024. We are supposed to apply for 485.



My wife has an emergency that needs to be offshore for sometime and I will be onshore in AU



Since she is the main applicant , can she apply for 485 from offshore? And will the dependent visa come through If my wife apply from offshore and my being onshore?



Thanks,
