Quick Answers
Is the graduate extension available to every Stamp 1G holder?
No. Graduate extensions belong to the graduate programme, not every family-based permission.
Do qualifying GEP and ICT spouses have a route to Stamp 1G?
Eligible spouses and partners granted family reunification can have Stamp 1G permission. Check the family guidance and your individual decision.
