Validating Visa
Hi everyone
My boyfriend and I have today got our passports back with our visa's in - woo hoo! We need to get our visa's validated by 12 June 2009, and as we doubt we'll sell our house by then we'll be going over to validate and hopefully look for work. So, my question is, what exactly do we need to do with our passports when we get to Australia to get the visa's validated? Is it just a matter of getting our passports stamped on entry, or do we need to go somewhere to get the visa's validated?
Also, on our visas, my boyfriends shows Class BQ Resident P and mine shows Class BQ Resident S. Does anyone know why his is P and mine is S? Is it because he is the main applicant?
Thanks in advance

As for the codes - P is almost certainly for "primary applicant" and s for "secondary" as he was the main applicant.

Re: Validating Visa
Thanks for your replies.
We sent our passports into Australia House by Special Delivery, and included the visa grant letter we had from our agent. We also put in a special delivery addressed envelope for them to send the passports back. We did ask about taking our passports in person but were told that you can only do this between 9am and 11am and the queues are supposed to be really long. We also put in a letter from ourselves with all contact details, including email addreses and mobile numbers just in case of any problem. Ours took exactly a week in the post.
Let me know if you need any other help.

Re: Validating Visa
How exciting, congratulations! We are currently planning our validation visit for March, looking into flight etc as we speak. Our friends in Oz cant understand us not just moving out in March but we have a lot to organise, and need to sell our house also. Im hoping the validation trip will be useful re jobs and where to start.
Congratulations again!!
Congratulations again!!
