Hi All,

We finally finished our Spouse visa application and posted it to DIMIA London this morning! So I guess now the wait is on, to see what we missed or if all is ok and we can move to Brissy! Fingers crossed v. tightly it is the latter!!!!

Thanks all for your posts - many of our questions were answered right here on BE!

Cheers!

Weight off the mind for now eh ?
Hope it's successful

Fingers crossed for you. Mine took 7 weeks, but that included having to get AFP checks part way through that held things up for 4 to 5 weeks. So hopefully you wont be kept waiting too long.

Bert'n'Stella

Yes, Load off our minds but then you swap working on the app to worrying about the app and waiting to hear from DIMIA! Off to Scotland tomorrow for long weekend, so might keep us otherwise focused for a bit!

If we could get ours back quickly it would be fantastic! But have set our minds to a long wait, rather than be v. disappointed otherwise.

I've just been reading your check list, I sent way less than that, and they only had trouble with lack of AFP checks, so dont worry too much.

Good Luck to you..i must admit i hear more positive things..than negative about the spouse visa process to australia...i truly hope this is the case...*S*
are you the aussie..?.....

Stella is the Aussie, Bert is the Scot applying for the visa

Getting all your documentation together will probably have taken longer than the visa to come. Usually they are fairly quick for these type of visa.

Hi Bert & Stella

GOOD LUCK, let us know when you get it. Were also applying for the spouse visa and hoping to go to Brisbane too. Were still getting the app together, steve (husband) has his meds on sept 1, we have all our dec and are waiting for the police checks.

You won't be waiting long !!! As long as you've submitted all the paper work i.e police checks , meds etc. I reckon 2 weeks max..... Positive vibes to you both. I just got my spouse visa !!!

Where in Brissy are you going to?

Oohh it won't be long. I front loaded mine and it took 7 days (not working days, just 7 days!) back in March. Not long now!

Bert'n'Stella

Thank you all for your positive vibes - did wonder what that tingling feeling was

Not sure about Sunshine Coast, MacKay, or Gold Coast, or just Brissy! Depends on Jobs. Applied for one in Brissy and more info on one in MacKay - Facilities Management arena!

Good luck getting your applications in! Hope the quick turnaround will be just that!

Hi,

Best of luck with the application, hope it all goes well for you.

I was reading the posts because I am in the same position, hope to go to Melbourne next year, I am Australian, my wife is British, so am going to apply for a spouse visa. My question is where can I get the "checklist" to enable me to get all the correct information for my application.

Thanks for your help,

Simon

Good Question Simon! They haven't done one yet for spouse, supposedly November before it appears on the immi site.

If you search this forum under checklists a few should come up - that's what we did!

Good luck :-)
