Re: Spouse Visa Thread continued - 2012-2013
Hello
I'm new to this forum, I sent of for my defacto visa on 17th November and recieved an email from my CO saying processing time would be 8-9 months and to do meds and police certs after 3 months.
It would be nice to think it will be granted in 6 months however it seem the people given a 5-6 month waiting time seemed to take about 6 months.
Fingers crossed though, would definitly be good to hear about peoples recent processing times!!

Re: Spouse Visa Thread continued - 2012-2013
In case if I'm unable to include my spouse in 189 application, Is there any way to get the same VISA for her seperately. She won't be able to obtain her own VISA due to low point score.
Actual scenario is that, i have only 2 months to submit 189 application after invitation is received and most likely it would take 3 months to receive my spouse's passport.

Yes, I did. However, It would take at least 3 months to receive her passport.

Yes, I certainly have a month buffer. However, I was just checking possibilities ahead of time to avoid last minute hurry.
Actually, she lost her passport and has to apply for new one with normal delivery. Express delivery(a week) is not applicable in her case as she lost previous passport.

If I was you, I would probably wait before applying for your spouse's passport to turn up, unless someone knows if it's possible to include her in the application but forward passport details when it arrives.

I had my passport stolen in the middle of my visa application - that was not fun.

Re: Spouse Visa Thread continued - 2012-2013
Hi everyone,
So I just got recently married in Oz, my fiancée arrived with a PMV visa so we are preparing to lodge the 820 VISA. I have only three questions:
1.- A lot of evidence that we have are in PDF (electronic) format: Bank statements, payslips, invoices, travel itineraries, etc. Do I have to certify this or just clarify that they are PDF print outs?
2.- Police clearance: So my fiancée's police clearance from our home country is more than a year old, however, we want to apply asap. We already requested a new one from our embassy. Question is, will the CO reject the application or just ask for a new one?
3.- Our statements: For the PMV VISA we did our statements, and now for the spouse one that is also required... we actually have to use the same, or add more info for this VISA now that we are married... feeling I'm doing everything twice!
Thanks for any guidance! Much appreciated!

The only documents that you need to get certified are birth certificates, passports and marriage certificates, not your bank statements etc...
With regards to the personal statements, I included a copy of our original statements and just added a brief additional statement advising what had happened between grant of PMV and the new application. It wasn't anywhere near as daunting!
Good luck with it all

I followed the same visa path as yourselves a few years ago.... My police clearance had expired a few weeks before my application, I mentioned this in my letter accompanying the visa application and asked if it would be necessary to obtain another one. I wasn't asked to get another one.
