Hi all,

I have a couple of questions regarding visa 100 and would much appreciate if someone could clarify them.

1) After I was granted with visa 309 I applied on visa 100 as was required.
After I applied on visa 100 and I got pregnant. Surely, once I have my child I will upload the birth certificate. Is there anything else I will have to upload on my immiaccount for newborn baby?

2) When I was granted with visa 309, in my grant letter I had a condition of "First Entry Before ...". Is there the same condition for visa 100?

Are you now onshore or offshore
Was the baby born onshore or offshore and is the baby's father an Aussie PR or citizen?

Hi Pollayna,

Baby's father is an Australian PR and currently I am offshore (I will be having my child offshore either).

The baby will need a subclass 101 child visa to move to Australia. If you gave birth in Australia then the child would be an Australian citizen.

You won’t have an initial entry date for your subclass 100 visa.

Hi BritInParis,

If newborn baby will need a subclass 101 child visa does that mean just uploading translated birth certificate wouldn't be enough and I will need to submit some form?

Thank you.

Yes, you’d need to lodge a new visa application on behalf of the baby.

Hi guys,

I was granted with visa 100 (which I didn't expect to be honest in the nearest several months).
Now I am in another interesting situation which totally unclear for me.
An Entry Date in mid November 2019.
At the moment I'm on the 8th month of pregnancy and my due date is the last week of December.
Then, I would need to wait for several months until my child is eligible to apply for a passport.
Once passport is issued my husband and I would need to apply for child visa 101.
According to home affairs information the timeline for 101 visa is 75% of applications: 11 months and 90% of applications: 19 months.

Now the question is how I can settle everything in the way I can enter to Australia with my child being granted with visa 101?
Is it possible to ask officer to postpone First Entry Date until we obtain visa 101?
Otherwise I would need to leave my 11 months baby in my home country, enter Australia to activate visa 100 and come back which would be extremely hard to bring into reality.

However knows something about this please advise.

Why do you have to wait several months before your child is eligible for a passport? Why will the child not be a citizen of somewhere at birth, and therefore eligible for a passport straightaway?

Did you travel to Australia to activate your 309 visa?

Alyonk@

Well, yes I had to do that when I was granted visa 309.
However, in my visa 100 grant letter I also can see Entry Date.
"For first entry, arrive by" to be more precise.

Hi Pollyana,
OK was my mistake.
I clarified that and it turned out that a newborn baby is eligible for a passport from the first day.
BUT, say a child's passport was issued in January (my due date is last week of December) and we immediately applied for 101 child visa.
What are chances that child 101 visa is granted before my first entry date which is mid November 2019?
According to the official homeaffairs website info - not very high.

I'll do my best to clarify that with CO; see what they advise.

BritInParis

I would check that.
