Re: Spouse Visa
Hiya
it's changed in the last few years. I know when I first arrived in the UK I needed a visa in order to visit Europe as my right of abode entitled me to live and work in the UK as I pleased but not Europe.
I found a list of countries (not sure where now sorry ) In which they tell you what countries you need a visa for and which ones you don't. I'm sure it was on some Australian passport site or something? Not 100% sure.
Most places now you can travel to in Europe without a visa on an Aussie passport.
Hope this helps! but if it's not answered your Q's then umm sorry

Brazil is a good example of where a British citizen (or New Zealand) passport will let you enter as a tourist visa free, while an Australian passport will not. Why? Because neither Britain nor New Zealand demand that Brazilians get tourist visas, while Australia does. Brazil operates a policy of visa reciprocity.
Also bear in mind that should you ever want to *live* in another European country, your Right of Abode stamp is no use. You'd need a British citizen passport.

Re: Spouse Visa
If they both get 'rejected', we'll have to go back together for girly holidays & leave them here!
I am a little concerned though, I have seen that some of you guys included photos, I didn't. I thought my marriage certificate (got married in Melbourne anyway) & our individual statements were enough proof - along with bills/mortgage statements & all the other bit's & bobs etc. Oh god, something else for me to worry about!

Re: Spouse Visa
Hiya!
I wouldn't worry too much, if they would like more evidence then they will ask for it. I mean you've been together for quite some time, and have a child together, what more proof is there than that?
I've heard people say they have 'front loaded' there medicals. I was about to ring and book an appt for my husband just before I read this message.
Did you not to the meds until after you submitted your application? Do you know if you can do the meds, the police clearance and what not and sent it all off at once?

Re: Spouse Visa
Its very easy! Spouse visas are much easier than Skills, and - certainly from the UK - much quicker, can be granted in a week. Go to www.immi.gov.au and follow the links for Migrant Visa - family - partner. Download the booklet and have a read, then come back with anything you need to ask - lots of us have gone by that route and we'll help you out

Re: Spouse Visa
The panel doc will probably ask for further info from her doctor. PErhaps you could get a letter from her treating doc explaining treatment etc and take that along. Anything else needed the doc will let her know on the day! Good luck with it
