In this article, I develop the concept of ‘intimate chronomobilities’ to understand some of the intersections between the temporalities of intimate relationships and of migration in the lives of young and ‘middling’ transnational migrants from Asia to Australia. Drawing on in‐depth interview data, I reveal how romantic partnerships are highly significant to experiences of transnational mobility, and how such experiences take place in the context of a governance regime in Australia in which migration has become increasingly transient, transitionary and transitory, and in which sponsored partner and spouse visas can secure migration futures. The analysis explores how the lived and imagined timelines and timings of intimate partnerships play highly significant roles in defining and structuring migrants' mobilities, and reveals how intimate chronomobilities of ‘suspending, settling and sponsoring’ are understood by migrants through lived experiences of sequence, synchronicity and tempo.

暂停，定居和赞助：澳大利亚年轻亚裔移民的亲密计时活动

在本文中，我提出了“亲密时间流动性”的概念，以了解亲密关系的时间性和从亚洲到澳大利亚的年轻和“中等”跨国移民生活中的迁移之间的某些交集。借助深入的访谈数据，我揭示了浪漫的伙伴关系对于跨国流动的体验有多么重要，以及在澳大利亚的治理制度下移民如何变得越来越短暂，过渡和过渡以及担保人的伴侣和配偶签证可以确保移民的未来。该分析探讨了亲密伙伴关系的存在和想象的时间表和时间安排如何在定义和构建移民活动中发挥重要作用，
