Thanks! Processing time, medicals, C O allocation etc will all depend on where the application is being submitted. Timelines are different for different offices, and where high risk countries are involved it would be very hard to try and guess at a timeline. |

Has your partner filled in 47SP?

Another thing, is there any thread specifically related to applicants for subclass 309 from Pakistan? |

No not on BE. We do not fragment threads down to that level. There is a Spouse Visa thread is which some people post but it is for people from all countries.
1. I've submitted 2 forms 888 and they both are Australians by birth and my friends and even though they know my spouse too for about 6 months or so and have seen and spoken to her. My question is; Does my better half need to submit Forms 888 from her side too i.e. from her close friends? 2. When should I be looking to get the Medicals and PCC done for my spouse? 3. Do I need to show bank statement as she's got her own and I've got my own. Went back to being a full time IT student (Austudy - Centrelink benefits), does it affect our application? ----------------- I think I worry too much, don't I Pollyana? Probably I'll get banned from this forum one day because of my habit of bombarding it with my questions :) Speaking about being worried: Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway - Mary C. Crowley :starsmile: Cheers! |

Thank you for the above link. Well ..... I think I'm notorious to ask a zillion questions, why not trouble you with a few more?

However, if she needs a pcc from somewhere know for being very slow (ie many months) I would send forit now. No need to show bank statements unless you have evidence of supporting each other financially - for instance if you can show money being transferred between your accounts, or if you have recently paid for smething like her phone bill. :) |

If your spouse can get a couple of friends to do 888 as well, that would be great - shows that both of you have met/know about each others friends.

Despite the fact that I supplied bank statements, our CO made a phone call to hubby within three months of our 309 application being lodged, asking him how he is going to be supported after he arrives in Australia. For this reason I think you should supply a bank statement, showing enough money to support your wife for when she arrives in Australia. |

This is an extract of my conversation with someone in the same boat from the same county. It goes like this:
Now, I'm concerned as being a full time student (Austudy - Centrelink) doesn't seem to go well in this case. :blink: I'll have savings (not sure how much) when my spouse arrives but "How to decide what's enough money?" :confused: |
Re: What else to submit and when?
Submitted Form 47SP. Chat Logs from Skype, FaceTime and iMessages etc. on 19 APR 2014.

Well the other person is right,your CO will be looking to see how you will support your spouse. Your spouse can't claim benefits of any kind for two years so how do you intend to support her? I would make it clear if you have savings etc on which the two of you can live, or if she is bringing money with her. You cam add this info to your personal statements. Also if she intends to work straightaway you can add evidence of her applying for jobs, her resume, etc.
Does that mean I should defer studies and find a full time job instead as it seems the only way to have a guaranteed savings of substantial amount. Being on Austudy is certainly not enough for one person let alone two. Do you think financial proof is a possible hindrance in my case? What do you suggest? Is it better to go for Medicals and PCC before the CO is assigned to our case so that the outcome is sooner rather than later. Advantage is: CO won't need to wait as he'll have almost everything what has been asked in the checklist. But (possible) disadvantage is: Sooner initial entry date (as it's related to Meds and PCC). Any suggestions, highly appreciated! |

Thanks for replying Pollyana. Nah, she won't be bringing any money with her.

Any suggestions, highly appreciated! In your shoes I would not do the medical or pcc until requested. It will not make the grant quicker as Spouse Visas are granted by quota, so many per month, and even in the UK, a low risk country they are taking 9 months. You run the risk of having very little time for your spouse to validate the visa, and may even have to do the medical again if it expires. DIBP advise against frontloading even for Spouse Visas nowadays. |
Re: What else to submit and when?
Previously, it used to be like "Weekly updated application processing information can be obtained at any time by sending a blank email to [email protected]."
Is there anything like that anymore for spouse visa (309-100)? |
