Hello!

Im an Australian citizen looking to get a visitors visa for my Nigerian fiance to visit Australia. I'd love some advice on our rather complicated situation, which I'll try to explain in detail.

We currently both live in Shanghai and want to visit Australia for the birth of our first child which is due in August. We will then return back home to Shanghai.

My fiance is Nigerian and also holds Mozambique citizenship. He has been living in China for over 5 years with his Chinese working Visa (exports), with his Mozambique passport. I've been in Shanghai since June 2015 after meeting my fiance on a vacation to China the previous year.

He's currently in Nigeria visiting family and getting his new passport, which will be a Nigerian one (the country where he was born.)

So having 2 passports is further complicating things as the Mozambique passport is under his christian name, and the Nigerian one must be under his traditional Nigerian name. So technically he'll be re-entering china with a new passport name! I'm concerned this means we wont have a record of us actually living together...and it will look strange.

So he will be applying for an Australian visitors visa (sub600 i believe?) with his Nigerian passport and I have no idea what documents we will need to provide to explain all this. As he's still in Nigeria I'm trying to sort it out now, while he still has the chance to talk with immigration over there.

Too crazy!!
