Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

Thank you so much for the response and information. You are always so helpful.

So I can get the visa sticker once landed in Australia? How does one go about doing that?

Thanks again!

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

After exactly 4 months to the day, I was granted my provisional partner visa (subclass 309) on Friday. No questions asked, no interview, in fact the first communication I had directly from a CO was...

Re: Single Mum wanting to move to Oz - Help!

You almost certainly will need his permission.

I have a friend who is now stuck in Canada because she married a Canadian, had two children with him, and then the relationship went sour. Now she...

Re: march application for 47sp

I applied on April 19 and to date have not received a single communication from the AHC, other than a receipt for the charge to my CC and a little note containing my file number. Other than that,...

Re: I wanna bring my boyfriend

The easiest route to be able to bring your boyfriend is you are married, or if you are de facto partners, and you are either an Australian Citizen or have your PR (making you the sponsor). Otherwise...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

I front loaded mine, as all research I did pointed to a much speedier visa grant when you send them everything in one go. I have now been waiting exactly 2 months and my crossed fingers are getting...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

Yup and then you WAIT. And wait and wait and wait some more. You worry and wonder, "is everything ok with my application? Maybe I should try emailing the high commission to get an update", and...

Re: Where do i start!

Well, I think the way to go is for your OH to go ahead with a suitable variant of the Spousal visa. Whether defacto partner (if you've lived together 12 months or more), spouse (if you're married),...

Re: medical advise

I totally agree, I'm in the exact same boat. It's impossible to plan properly when you have no idea when you will get granted your visa. However, if we annoy them they may take even longer. I've...

Best to leave your CO to their job and not push them too much. They have enough on their desks to contend with, the last thing they need to do is waste their time emailing people back and forth...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

You would have to followup with your case officer to confirm that they have received the medical in good order from the doctor's office. I'd give it some more time before following up though, as...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

It's usually faster processing your visa application if you do the medical in advance. For that matter you should also get your criminal background check done in advance and include that with your...

Re: Form 80 and Form 1221

Malaysia is an ETA approved country so Australia may very well have access to check whether you were ever rejected in a database. I would definitely err on the side of caution and disclose the...

I haven't heard of this either. When I did my medical nothing was asked of vaccinations history.

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

It sounds like it! They have red tape to deal with in the department before they can give you your actual visa, but it sounds like your CO is satisfied with what you've provided. Great news!

My wife is living with me in Canada at the moment (she is dual Canadian/Oz citizen), but we want to get to Australia as soon as is reasonable to do so. We're not set on where we'll end up settling,...

Oh I meant to mention that you MAY be able to skip the whole PMV process if your partner comes home and you marry where you currently live... then you can apply directly for a partner visa. It's an...
