Hello Guru's:

Would like to seek your thoughts on this – is it better to enter Australia as single or married?  Which is better, if there ever is such, for visa application purposes?

A bit of a quick background.  I had an initial consult with an agent and was told i fit the subclass 175 or as a skilled independent migrant.

My dilemma is that I am set to fly and work in the middle east by January 2011 for a 2 year contract.  I plan to lodge the application before said date.

After a years time and that is sometime January 2012, I'll return to my home country to marry so that I could bring my future wife to the middle east for another year after which  we migrate to Australia.

So i guess, my technical question is – if I lodge my visa application now, it will have to be as a Single status however I have learned recently that I would have to enter Australia with a Single status.

Any comments on this like the best way to proceed?

Thank you so much in advance!
