The most important thing is you ensure you tell your case officer that you intend to VISIT Australia (excuse the rude capitalisation) during your partner visa application process. Let them know that that you understand you have to be off shore when the visa is granted (fact) and that if they decline your partner visa application, you understand you will have to leave Australia prior to expiry of your tourist visa.

Only you can decide whether it's what you want or not. For me personally I've been living in London for 12 years and I am desperate to move home to be with my family. My husband wasn't ready a few years ago but now he is, I'm grabbing it with both hands no matter the cost.
Also although we haven't got ours yet by far the biggest palaver is the initial application making sure you everything right. They took the money straight away so the expense is behind us too.
I hope you reach a happy decision whichever way good luck x

EDIT the visa cost is behind us not the cost of relocating...

You will still need to do one as the non-australian partner, but I was told to submit the application first then the CO would request it later. Also please double check with DIAC in case I'm wrong about your original question but that's how it was for me. Hth

Getting more and more tempting to go out on an ETA while it is finalised - good excuse to pop to NZ or Asia for a short holiday when it is finally granted.

Good News Time!!!!
Just spoken to my CO as we had planned to travel out in March regardless and nip in and out as required. She said my Visa was confirmed just not awarded and if I gave her my flight dates she would sort it so on the 1st March I am off - just need to tell work, pack up the house and all the other crap!!

Seems like they are just looking to process at a nice steady rate wouldn't want too many getting in now would we!! At least I know the civil service will remind me of home!

Hi
Thanks for your suggestions.
Is there any chance to decline Partner VISA although applicant inform the CO about staying period in Australia under tourist visa 676 and confirm him to leave australia before application approved?

Thanks
MD Alam

One or two a month is fine, they don't need to see everything.

Thanks moneypenny20 for your reply.
I have another two questions:
1. In case of fill up the form(47Sp and 40Sp),instruction to use pen.Can I computer compose the form?
2. I have a doctor advice of Australia that he support my wife's partner application as my medical condition is not good and my wife need to be with me.Is is letter help to get VISA earlier or it makes application weeker as CO will think she is persuing to make the application faster?

Thanks

You couldn't do it by computer when I did mine. I have no idea if it's changed. If you have a medical condition, it's going to show when you do your meds. If you have any background information on it then you take that along to the meds and the Doc will attach it all to the form. If you want to include any further info to your application, you can. It's unlikely to speed anything up, regardless of length of relationship etc, they are all taking roughly the same amount of time.
