My husband is in Germany, staying with his parents and me I live in morocco with my parents, but since our marriage he is coming and going every 3 months to Morocco and we rent when he's here, we accumulated about 12 months living together like this, due to his tourist visa when hi's coming to me he can only stay maximum 3 months. In regards to the question about supporting each other, he is sending me money via western union and leaving me cash when he is returning to Germany. My husband is planning on to return to Australia to find work and to start my application from there, do you think, the evidence we have is enough in terms of financial ? The other evidences we have is Skype records, postcards, holiday photos, flight tickets to honeymoon, rent agreements from morocco, our wedding photos and videos, 2 invitations to friends wedding together and stat declarations.
What do you think !
me and my husband got married in may 2014 and we want to apply for offshore partner visa and my worry is that We don't have enough documentation about 2 points one is about the financials which I don't understand very good and the other is about my (sponsor) husband is currently unemployed, he is an AUS Citizen though living outside of Australia for the last 2 years,
my question is about this, would that be an issue for my 309 partner visa application, my husband was sending me money via western union is that sufficient or do they ask other things like employment !? would it be better if my husband returns to Australia alone and he finds work and a home to stay and we apply after ? But that would also mean separation for us, for a longer period, which we really don't want, thanks
Any help will be great!

Hey guys!

Does anyone know the processing times on average once you have had correspondence from your CO! I received an email today requesting some info which I've sent through now.. Wondering now if I'm expected to wait the full 12-14 months London Office is quoting. I lodged my application last month! :)

Hi All,

New user here, firstly thanks to everyone here for sharing their knowledge! It's a great help and is good to be able to read things from people in similar positions.

Thought I'd post my status up here with everyone else.

We met July 2013, applied Offshore 309 - Mid December 2015, so been waiting about 4 months.

Feels like a lot longer as my partner went home at the end of July 2015. We dicked around because I was super busy at work, so was she as soon as she got home and we didn't put in enough effort before she left. It's much harder to do the application over Skype and the Internet!

Seems like the massive wait time is mainly for on-shore applications, anyone know of any offshore's form Europe approved recently? It looks like hers will go through Berlin office.

I'm still hoping a quick turn around, we spent ages on the application and did all the medicals, police checks, 888's, photos, essay's, etc - All online. So if anyone has any questions with all that I'm happy to help.

Anyway, waiting sucks! Good luck to everyone waiting.

Thanks
G.

Hi all,

I'm joining this waiting room too. So excited and also nervous, just lodge mine online 2 days ago. Just trying to arrange a Biometric collection appointment with the visa centre. I guess that why my visa status is "Information requested" right away (i applied last Friday).

1 question tho, about form 80, i haven't summit this form yet as they don't mention in the checklist. I'm not sure about this so still reading a lot on this forum to find out the answer.
