hi all,

just finished completing my forms for de facto migration (my girlfriend is aus
citizen.) we currently llive in uk.

i have read about problems with london branch, does this mean i should send it
to adelaide?

anyone any idea of waiting time for this type of visa.

thanks

Hi,

Adelaide is for Skilled Migration Visas only. Other Visa classes, including Family Visa's, must still be lodged at the Australian High Commision in London. They quote a processing time of 6 months for Partner Visas. You can get all the info on their website:

Another good site for processing time frames is:

Hi thedonkeyhunter(?)

Don't worry about AHC in London, I think it's a different department that deals with family/partner migration. We got my husbands visa back 6 weeks after initial application and another chap on this site got his back after only 15 days....that's not too bad is it?

love sophia x

thanks all, was worried after reading the 20 month wait some ppl have had, but if its
a different visa type its no problem.

thanks
