welcome Mark, i can't answer your questions knowledgeably, but will give you my opinion.
i would hold on to the form 80 and only submit it as and if requested, a few folk have been asked for it but if i remember correctly only if the police checks were not entirely clean.
As for the sponsor, i would explain the situation in the additional notes and try and provide evidence that you can support yourself and them for the 2 yr span, either by the amount of money you take with you or by having employment lined up.

sorry, probably not much use, but wanted to welcome you on board :thumbup:

Hey Shiels - I AM HERE!!!!

Been away on hols for two weeks to Majorca and got back late last night.

Got back to find a note from the postman to say that the day after we had gone away they had tried to deliver three special delivery parcels - raced to post office this morning - the kids Aussie passports have arrived!!! Hooray, they look so cute!!

So now its my turn - I am finally going to start the process rolling and get the application form filled in........prepare for loads of questions!!

Welcome to all newcomers and congrats to those who have got their visa!

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Special delivery this morning with Passport and Aussie sticker in it

Got a pretty good price from Crown relocation yesterday now just hoping they can fit me in within the next 2 or 3 weeks. OH is busy filling boxes.

Its all go here :lol:

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Finally booked our flights this morning, we re leaving on the 24th July..All very happy cant wait

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

good luck to all the ones moving forward :thumbsup:

i feel as though we are getting no where, extra info requested and provided 10 days ago, was sitting waiting impatiently, i received another email yesterday wanting yet more info :mad:

seemingly stat dec provided by daughters dad is not sufficient, even though it was dicscussed at phone interview with another CO who said as she was 16 and a bit it would be fine.

am extremely upset and frustrated, her dad works away a lot and getting the first letter was difficult enough, he has absolutely no objections to us going but i know to get him to a solicitors will take ages, do you think if i phone on monday to plead my case i will have any luck or will it just go against us :confused:

wish it was later in the day when i could look for the answer in my wine glass.

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Struth, it sounds like we have similar problems. Daughter same age, problem with stat dec. Her father refused to do another. I discussed it with my case officer who gave an extension to our deadline to go to court. It's taken two months but on Wednesday I got my court order. I have to submit the extra evidence (second lot requested) next week.

By the way, I never found the answer in my wine glass, but spent many hours looking!

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Don`t give up, It is very frustrating, I know how i felt when they wanted more info from us
it will get sorted.

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

hello all spouse visa circle people!

i am in the process of starting, having my medical soon. i am just worried about being refused, do genuine people get refused sometimes? i have been with liam for 7 1/2 yrs but on the social side we are a bit strange. we dont really socialise much as a couple, we either go out alone as a couple (dinner, cinema etc) or see our own friends alone for most of the time and i am really worried as they seem to put quite a bit of weight on the social aspect of relationships! we dont even really have family to back us up. although we both have a good relationship with my mum and her partner, they live in spain so we dont see them on a regular basis and i havent seen his parents for about 4 years as i dont get on with them! we have all the other stuff, finance and things, its just the social side i am worried about :unsure:

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Dont worry too much

We have been together over 3 years we had little or no social life (dont like pubs and such) no joint bank account no joint morgage some photos from a couple of day trips and a weeks holiday in cornwall 1 stat dec from an aussie friend that came and stayed with us for 3 weeks 6 or 7 statements from my friends and family,Some recipts for things we had jointly brought for the house(bed fridge/freezer etc).
Make sure you personal statements are honest and detailed.
My meds were clear but i did have a police record and i had to do a statement about the offences.

As long as you come across as genuine you should be ok.
Best of luck :)

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

l know it will eventually, i'm just having a bad day and its not what i wanted to find lurking in my spam box :sneaky:


so you think there is no point phoning to plead my case :confused:, i know her dad has no objections to us going but it took weeks to get him to sign a letter, enclose a copy of his passport picture and return to me with a self addressed envelope. goodness knows how long it would take to get him to go to a lawyer.
how did you go about the court order??
sorry, taking ages to type but bottom of wine glass was quite interesting:o

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Oh so thats where youve been :eek: Sunning yourself on a Spanish Isle!!!

Any questions justask away or PM me and i will help if i can remember as it seems ages since i got my visa now!! :blink:

Its great to see the visa in the passport isnt it? Have you tried 'Atlantis' for your shipping quote? :thumbup: Where are you off to? C x

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
 

Getting the grant letter was fantastic but actually seeing your passport come back with that sticker in it is is the thing that you most want to see.

We are off to Mandurah to stay with friends until we find a house, We will be looking around rockingham area.
