Re: Moving to Melbourne

St Kilda is around 7.5km from the city centre. It takes me around 20 mins to cycle that journey. I've not walked it but you'd have to be going at a fair pace (running!) to do it in 25 mins. If you...

Re: Spouse Visa Thread continued - 2012-2014

Hi Brian, if you have 60 days to respond to the letter, and it is dated 3 March, then you really need to call DIBP urgently to arrange an extension.

Other than that, read the letter carefully, it...

Re: Am I making the right decision?

I live in Melbourne, I have been here 2 and a half years, and came here with my Australian citizen husband. There is a lot I like about Australia, but a lot I don't like too. Not so different from...

Re: 309 partner visa (Temp) turning into 100 (Perm)

I got a letter from DIAC confirming my permanent status when it was granted, but no visa label - you can get one, but you have to pay for it. Alternatively you could log into VEVO to check your...

Re: 457 - Private medical Options

We had our 1 year waiting periods for pre-existing conditions waived. It was really straightforward - I was with Bupa in the UK, but a non-Bupa health cover provider in Aus, but they still recognised...

Re: Spouse Visa Thread continued - 2012-2013

Congrats to your wife JOE2010!

My second-stage PR was granted in March - I was told by DIAC there was currently an 8-9 month processing time, but was also granted in 4 weeks - a very nice...

Re: Physics graduate working in Australia

I think you will struggle to find a visa that allows you to do a year in the USA - they don't have a WHV or similar scheme over there.

Re: Hernia fix here or Oz?!!

Can't advise on the hernia, but I do have experience of being treated privately here in Oz for a pre-existing condition, within a couple of months of arriving.

I'd had private medical cover in...

Bonnie, I would say that if you have a good reliable agent (do a LOT of research) and pay for a fully managed service, you shouldn't have to worry about the maintenance - I just get emailed when...

Re: Rent or Sell?

I rent my house out in the UK. I did consider selling it before I left, but for me the numbers stacked up better for renting. I got a really good mortgage deal with a long (10 year) period of consent...

Re: How to get Buy to Let or IO Mortgage for UK Property

I remortgaged my flat in London when I moved here at the end of last year, and now rent it out. I decided against staying with my existing lender as they would offer a 'consent to let' for up to 2...

Re: Partner Visa Application

Yes, my husband and I had telephone interviews. It really was nothing to worry about. All the CO wanted to do was go over some of the facts in our personal statements - so as long as you're familiar...

Re: I seriously need to pull myself together..HMmmm

I faced a similar issue with my mum, who is the same age as yours, and I too have a younger sister in the UK.

I made the move over here in Oct 2011. I knew mum would be upset, so I informed her...

Re: Medicals - what all tests needs to be done?

I'm reassured to read this thread personally, as when I had my medical done early last year, it involved an unexpected breast examination, by a male doctor.

It has played on my mind ever since. I...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards

Hi Yellowrose

Frontloading doesn't speed up your application in any way, as the processing time is too long at the moment for it to make any difference. The current processing time is approx 5...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle continued - Dec 2010 onwards
