Hello everyone!
I have been stalking this thread and it has helped me greatly with my application! Thank you everyone!
I now have the 820 grant after 11 months of waiting 🙂
Just curious, now on my 801 process ongoing, do I have to do anything else other than uploading more evidence on my immi account? Or do I have to do another application? If someone can clarify this for me it would be much appreciated!
Can I ask about your timeline for the 820 and more details? Where are you from? Did you have any further requests or was the case all frontloaded from the beginning. You are the first 820 grant I have seen from Nov 2018. Thanks!
Hello! I just realized I wrote November on one of my post instead of October (I must be half asleep when I typed that oops! )
I am from the Philippines and met my partner back in 2016. Travelled to Aus as a tourist to visit family and we started our relationship end of December 2016. I had to go back because of work but before I left we registered our relationship. My partner have travelled back and forth within 2017 to spend more time with me, and meet the rest of my family. I returned back to Aus on May 2018 on a tourist visa, we didn't want to be apart again so before my visa expired, we both decided to risk and apply for the partner visa.
I applied October 2018. Did not do my medicals till January 2019. And was requested AFP check August 2019. I received a grant on the 20th of September.
What I provided:
EVIDENCE OF LIVING TOGETHER:
1.)Joint lease from May 2018 to present.
2.)Joint Bank Account Statements
January 2019-August 2019
3.)Relationship Certificate
4.) Receipt of Vehicle purchased both under our names.
5.)Utility and Phone Bills under our names.
6.) Photos of our rented house.
EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP:
1.)Screenshots of Facebook page
relationship started to current.
2.)Screenshots of messages while apart.
3.)Airline Tickets of me and my partner's travel together.
4.)His and my personal statement about relationship.
5.)Our two daschunds proof of ownership both under our names
6.) Photos together with family and friends in word format with descriptions.
The only thing I did not provide were the 888 and form 80 as I thought they will request it only when needed. No agent was used during the process, we did all paperwork ourselves 😊
Hope this helps!
