My wifes Drs appointment was the day after the xrays. He didn't need the xrays to do the medical, but he couldn't send it all off until he had them.

Hi all. Can I join the circle too?
I am the Aussie and OH is the brit we have 4 kids and are hoping to go to Melbourne at the end of June next year. I have never been to Australia since my parents returned to England when I was 3 but I can't wait to go back. I am going for mine and the kids Aussie passports at the end of the month and then we can tackle OH visa which after reading these posts seems a lot to get done but with all the great advise on here am sure it will be a lot easier than I first thought. Any suggestions on which passport office si best to use? I live near Bolton in Lancashire so both not that close!
Great forum by the way

Just wanted to welcome you really. The spouse visa is supposed to be one of the easiest to apply for, so don't be afraid to do it yourself. Plenty of free advice on here.
Good luck!

My OH's app is going off next week-just waiting for payday!
Thought we would have to wait for another month for a police check to come back for his non-migrating 16 yr old son but Aus House just emailed me to say it's not needed after all yay!
Good luck to everyone applying now

I need to ask a question to everyone!! What is the name of the police check form that I need to get from the police station - do I fill it out there and then or do it at home and send it off, how does it work? I finally got my new renewed uk passport back yesterday so I'm ready to start the ball rolling!

Hi and welcome sloane 46! I would say that Edinburgh will probably have shorter queues as everyone goes to London - having siad that my OH went to London to get our kids done and was there about 2 hours I would say.

subject access form, well thats what there called in scotland,
think everywhere is different, some police places let you download the form online, I went into my local station, took it home and filled it in then sent it back to the regional office,
if you phone your local station they will tell you im sure

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
Hey all! What an awesome site! Here I was thinking I would have to take a day off work to go into Australia House to ask questions when I can do it from home!
Anyway enough flattery, I am Tim and this is Emma *points* I am Australian and Emma is Irish, we are both 23 and have been together for 13 months, living together for the past 11 minus the 2 months when I went home to apply for dual Italian citizenship so I could come back to blighty to be with my girl as my working holiday visa was due to expire.
We live in London and Emma is about to enter her final year at uni. We are intending on moving to Australia in 12 months time with Emma on a defacto spouce visa (47SP). We have printed off all the forms and everything we need already now it's just a matter of getting everything together over the next 10 months or so. We currently live in a house with 2 other people and unfortunately I am not on the lease but we are moving in the next month into our own place where it will just be us on the lease and all bills will be in our name to use as evidence. We have evidence of the past 10 months through bank statements to this address and the like.
My main concern about applying for the visa is having enough evidence to support the application. I have noticed alot of people on the forum are a bit older than we are and have wills, mortgages, joint investments which aren't really in the agenda of a young aussie bloke and his student missus. We have however opened a joint bank account but at the same time have kept our own individual accounts as Emma has a student loan and I work full-time. We will both be adding money to the account to cover joint expenses like the shopping and bills.
So that's us, it's still a long way off but at the speed at which life is passing before my eyes it won't be long at all. Just thought I would introduce us as I will no doubt be an active member over the next 12 months. Any suggestions anyone can make are very welcome.
Cheers, Timbo & Emma.
