My partner and I have just momentarily submitted our 820/801 Defacto application Online.
Regarding migrating and non-migrating family members the following two questions are asked:
MIGRATING FAMILY MEMBERS
Q: Are there any family members applying to migrate with the applicant?
A: No
NON-MIGRATING FAMILY MEMBERS
Q: Does the applicant have any family members not included in this application?
A: Yes
I was then asked to supply a list of all non-migrating family members, to which I included the details of 11 non-migrating family members.
At not point does the application state that non-migrating family members will be required to obtain health checks. However the email/letter of "Acknowledgement of application for a Partner (Temporary) (class UK) (subclass 820) / Partner (Residence) (class BS) (subclass 801) visa" reads:
This letter confirms that your application has been received for processing for the following applicants.
and then goes on to list myself and the 11 non-migrating family members noted in my application.
We checked, double check and triple checked all of the questions. Ive even since printed off a copy of the application and we have definitely filled it in correctly & answered the questions in the format they are asked.
What neither of us can understand is why non-migrating family members would be required to obtain medicals, when as it stands currently, no family members have any plans to come out to Australia in the immediate future. Additionally, my Uncle & Aunt who already have Australian residency/citizenship have also been asked to obtain medicals.
Is this just a glitch in the system? I know the online application service only recently went live earlier this month, but I can't see anyone else having had this issue with their applications.
As we have answered all the questions accurately and correctly, could IMMI turn around and cancel this application, not refund us our application fee and tell us to submit and pay for a new application?
Were kind of stuck in Limbo right now, as no immigration office is open until Monday Morning.
If anyone can shed some light on this, we would really appreciate it.
