Bibi - if you haven't lived in Victoria for the last 12 months they're not going to allow you to register. Have you?

This is where you would do it if you qualify: Home - Births, Deaths & Marriages Victoria

Yep, still waiting here, too, though hoping for a good result soon.

That is such great news! Well done you!! I haven't check on this forum for about a year and I just hopped on as a friend of mine is just about to go through the process and I wanted to send them a link to this to help them out. Seeing your comment has literally made my day! Congrats on the visa! (Even though this reply is over a year late... )

lmac - It's not uncommon to get a very fast result when applying from Prospective Marriage Visa to 820. If your friend is NOT applying from a Prospective Marriage Visa, they should expect to wait 12 to 15 months.

Private health insurance is NOT required for the 820. That checklist is wrong. DIBP has confirmed it's wrong (someone else on the forum rung to ask) but still they haven't changed it.
