Australian Tourist visa rejected

score:1

Accepted answer

I really don't think this is about your fiance's employment status.

He's had three lengthy visits in the last few years, two of which have been extended. This pattern shows an intent to live in Australia, contrary to the rules of a visitor visa.

His previous visas have been granted because he didn't have the immigration history he now has, and that history forms part of the decision making process.

The immigration officer has picked your fiance's self-employed status as a specific element on which he's made a decision, but I think the decision goes wider than that.

I suggest that he waits a while before applying again. If he applies now he's likely to get a second refusal, and that will count against him. When he does apply make sure he builds a good argument for why he should return home. And consider a shorter trip - weeks rather than months.
