hi sara, are you in the same situation?

A Merry Christmas to you Sarah ... thank you for your help in making me able to apply for the 309 visa and getting it in record time! .. enjoying christmas with your spouse is beyond anything else Hugs. Znuff007

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I spoke with the Washington Office and just thought I would pass along this info. I was told that our daughter, because she was an Australian citizen, would not be required to complete the medicals. It does seem like there are conflicting stories out there, but this is what I was told. I hope it's helpful. Thanks again for being so active on this site!

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for all of your help on this website! I have a question and I thought that you might be able to answer it. I am an American and have applied offshore for residency. I have completed my medicals and submitted them. My husband is an Australian citizen by birth and our daughter a citizen by descent. We all live in the US. Do they need to get medicals for this process? They haven't been requested, but I just want to have a jump start on that process if they do in fact need them. Thanks for your help!

Hi SarahM! ... got the wife's spouse visa granted today!... thank you so much for your help! you are awesome!

Hi

Well I try to be helpful with the things I am confident about, but am also new to this stuff so am wary of being too helpful, lol.

We haven't even got hubby's app in yet! He was here visiting for three months and left 1 month ago. We didn't do too much with the visa app while he was here as just wanted to spend quality time together. But since he left I've been getting everything organised. Don't want to rush and miss anything but aiming to get it in by the end of this month. And then the waiting begins!

I was wondering how you had so much time to spend on here! Although it is easy to get addicted - am always on the lookout for another scrap of advice that might help our case!

All the best to you too, I'm sure you'll continue to see me around this forum, probably liking lots of your posts along the way

Hey SarahM

Just wanted to say hi and thank you for your dedication to this forum - I don't know how you do it, but you must be a very patient soul. Although I guess you have to be when dealing with Immigration

Wish you all the best with you and your hubby's visa.

Kim.

Hey Sarah,

I just read your post and wanted to wish you also the best of luck.

I wanted to introduce myself officially... my real name is Nicki and I'm British. I used an alias as I heard that immigration sometimes read through these forums and I didn't want to be misquoted on anything... paranoid I know.

Anyway, lets keep in touch and if I hear anything about my visa I'll drop you a line and vice versa if you like.

Cheers,

Nicki

Hi, I assume you mean a partner visa application? If your fiancee wants to include dependents other than children, they must be on this list: (This list refers to the applicants [your...

:D :D :D Thank you so much Nicki!! I was so jealous of you and furrball and I started doubting our application but no, it turns out we did ok :) Thank you for the support, I'm so happy for all of...

The standard processing times for the subclass 100 are as follows: High risk country - 8 months Low risk country - 6 months

Salut, The working holiday visa application will be easy for you (it's done online, you don't need to prove anything), but a little bit harder for your girlfriend. There are some extra...

Hi, I initially was going to have a look, but the list is enormous! As I'm not familiar with it, I really can't say what other similar occupations there are. I guess you just have to read it...

Correction, you have to do it when your CO asks for it, but it will always be asked for. It is part of the character requirement for every visa.

Definately do not provide the 700 pages worth. When it comes to Skype chat histories, msn conversations, call logs, ect, make a representative selection, ideally taking a couple of examples over a...

I think if we had a thread for each embassy there would just be too many sticky threads, it would take up so much room. We could possibly try one for high risk countries, one for low, as voebe...

Hi, You can travel outside of Australia on your 309 visa for as long as you want. You can be outside or inside Australia when they assess you for permanent residence (100). Once you have the...

Hi, You'd be treated just as well as anyone else. One seeing you they wouldn't be able to guess that you are American, only because most of the black population here really is from Africa. On...

You can apply for the onshore partner visa (Subclass 820)- either as a married or de facto couple. For de facto and married couples it's the same visa (820). Seeing as you haven't looked into the...

You can apply at any time as long as it's less than 2 years since you've completed the degree (in other words if you graduate in 2012, you can apply until 2014). You can apply for the visa online,...

Spot on lildevil :) Also, miniature.moose, I actually married my partner before we even found out if our relationship was registered or not. First we applied to register because it's a good thing to...

Hi, My partner was in the same situation and we put B seeing as the 820/801 is an application for two visas, as you said, one being for permanent residence :)

I never said that it was a requirement of the visa. I just gave my opinion, which I will happily stop doing :) Personally I don't like to paint the DIAC as all-understanding, I think it's better to...
