Hi everyone
I'm hoping someone can help me or has been in a similar situation.
My partner is from the UK and we're getting married next April. Our plan was to travel for as long as our money lasts for our honeymoon but we haven't started the process for the 820 yet and I read that if your visa is granted while you're overseas it will automatically become invalid.
I also read that if you've been together for 3 years or more you might be eligible for express processing for the 801 but that won't be until the end of September so I'm not sure if we should take the risk of waiting until then to put the visa in in hope that it gets approved a lot quicker or if we should just do it now and hope the wait time is quicker than 17-24 months as it now states online.
Does anyone know the likeliness of the 801 being approved quicker if we wait?
Thanks in advance
Ally
