That medicals and police checks were included. Basically that there should be no reason for a co to come back requesting additional proof as everything is included :)

Hey Amandy

This will be a good comparison, I lodged a paper application on 11/12/13 as well so we can compare notes :).

I just got an email from a support officer granting my bridging visa and they have already taken the money!

Sounds good.

However, it's also high risk vs low risk countries.
Was yours decision-ready?

I've worked for the Federal Government before. The workload is not as much as you think. They are not drowning in papers. Visas have been processed in a number of days in the past. It is against OH & S to be drowning in papers.

I know what I am doing. I've been on the inside.

I think with this visa it is so detailed and they have SO much evidence to look over, harassing them won't really help, it will just make them take longer. Its not a snap decision that they can just rubber stamp, I imagine once they get to a file it takes them at least a couple of days to read through all the evidence.

I have heard that if there is a hold up with the security checks, then to speed things up (I have done so much research about this I am thinking of becoming a migration agent) you should be getting in contact with your country of origin's security agency, as well as all the countries where your partner has been, because ASIO checks that too. If your partner has been to more countries, the longer it will take.

How do you do that? My partner has only ever lived in Egypt.

No way! You don't need a migration agent for decision ready. Don't be so gullible. Plenty on this forum have been approved decision ready applications in a matter of days with no migration agent.

Hey guys I am getting married soon then applying immediately afterwards for the 820. I am here on a pmv. I did my medicals and police check before I came to Australia which have since expired. I know I can use the police check again since I havent lived in Australia for 12 months + but what about my expired medical? Do I have to undergo a new one for this 820 visa?

Thanks!
 
#28 ·
If the medicals are older than 12 months, then yes you will need to do them again.
 
#33 ·
Most applicants that come on a PMV did their medicals more than 12 months ago by the time they get married (unless their visa gets approved within a few months).

The checklist says:

Important: You and all members of your family unit must undergo health examinations. You
are advised to undergo these examinations before you lodge your partner visa application as
lodging an incomplete application may delay visa processing.
If you hold a Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa, you are not required to undergo
medical examinations unless you are asked to do so.

I agree Adam. Having a client/friend working in brissie partner visas ex of Berlin partner visas she told me the very last thing u want to do is piss off ur c.o.

I work in law myself and if a client drives me mad harasses me constantly doesn't appreciate what I am doing for them and doesn't realise they are not my only client and that I have 200 other clients on the go, then yep, I put them on the bottom of the pile. And if they really piss me off and keep it up i will tell them I'm not acting for them and come and pick up their file

I think it is very close to jumping a queue. It is like you walk into a restaurant, order the meal, after 10 mins, start banging the table and shout: "I want my chicken now, it should only takes 8 mins to cook a chicken!! Where is my chicken??! Hire more chef !!!".
. Omg pissing myself laughing at this - and agreed - u would get thrown out of the restaurant lol
 
#42 ·
Lol!!! I couldn't stop myself from replying.
But that's actually how most of the people react when it comes to visa processing. I want it now!

Anyone lodged the 820/801 online yet?

Hey,

I see we have one thing in common in our applications that is me and your partner are both from HIGH RISK COUNTRY PAKISTAN.

I applied for 820/801 in Jan 2012 and did medical and submitted Police checks etc in May 2013.

I am still waiting for security check from ASIO, I put in a complaint with IGIS couple weeks ago but they responded everything is going fine with security checks and there is no "unexplained" delay.

It's been 25 months since I applied its so frustrating as I almost got a job at Optus but the only reason they couldn't hire me cause I wasn't permanent resident.

I did visit few countries with my partner but they were very short trips and apparently ASIO only checks with countries where applicant lived more than 12 months.

I seen one of your post you Mentioned to contact intelligence of other countries to speed up the process, how do you do that in case of Pakistan?

Thanks heaps!
Kash

Hi there guys!

I submitted my Partner Visa 820/801 online on 20/01/14 - Onshore

High Risk Country (Brazil)

Just one thing about uploading documents, you can upload more than one document in the same reading. I ended up merging a lot of documents together (freaking out that I would not be able to fit everything) but was fine. About the size of the documents, it is hard to say what is the exact limit as the message that appear when you go over the limit size does not specify below what that should be. My documents with less than 4MB had no problems.
I was reading on the net that the new online system brings features that facilitate and speed up the process of online visa applications.
Good luck to all of us!!!!!!!!!:)

When I lodged online it said that they will decide whether the applicant needs the health exam or not, then they will provide a HAP ID. I've already been here for a year on my student visa. Do I wait for them or should I arrange a health exam?

Thanks!
Hi

You will more than likely have to complete a health check for the partner visa. It's up to you if you wish to do this now or wait for them to request it. Some people choose to do the health check once they lodge their application or a few months after so they have a complete application, which can result in the application being processed faster. Keep in mind the health check is only valid for for 12 months and the application can take over 13 months to be approved.

See the following link for further info: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/my-health-declarations.htm

2 Years Since 309 App.

Hello

I am coming up to 2 years on Feb 10, since i filed my Partner Visa.
Provisional PR was granted in Nov 2012
Applied Feb 10 2012

What should i expect, for my next process to getting permanent PR.
On the Aussie Immi site, it said 3 months before you are assessed, they will send out some sort of letter, its coming up to 2 years, no letter.

What is the assessment?

Thanks
Swati
