Yeah I got the 100 straight away, I just thought you had to wait regardless of what visa you were granted. Hard to get too excited about being allowed to receive money from a pot without having ever paid into it but I'm sure it'll be a big help while we get ourselves sorted.
-
I never even considered to look into claiming benefits as so many people have previously told me we wouldn't be entitled. Great news that we can. I mean, obviously I would never emigrate with the intention of sitting on my backside bleeding the system dry (never been out of work in my life) but recieving payments while looking for a job would certainly help in regards to making our savings last that bit longer, which could ultimately prove vital in making the move a success.
-
When you say 'knowing' each other, does that mean the two of you were in a relationship? We had to provide evidence dating back, thankfully our eldest is almost 5 now so he acted as living proof as well.
-
Ah right, I see. So basically it voids the 2 year wait for social security payments? Christ I must be unorganised, I didn't even realise there was a wait for medicare!
-
Yeah, you do. I'm not sure if it'll prove advantageous when looking for work but other than that I can't think of any other reason to celebrate having it. Everyone who stays will get it in the end anyway.
-
Thanks, man. We're chuffed. I'm still not entirely sure what difference being granted the 100 straight away will make, mind. Are there any benefits to having it?
-
If I'm not mistaken, the rules are you have to have been in a relationship/living together for 5 years, or 2 if you have children.
-
Thank you so much buddy.
-
We applied on 13 October 2014 and it was apparently granted on 4 August. I got the 100 subclass straight away as well. God I'm so happy.

You guys aren't gonna believe this.... Messages my CO as suggested and just got a reply saying that iur visas were GRANTED on 4/08/2015!!! Wow. I'm elated. Mind, I definitey didn't receive any email - gone back through spam, junk and bin and nothing. Worth sending a message if any of you are in the same position. NOW TO POP A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE!
-
Ah cool. That's great then, at least if she doesn't reply it'll still act as a reminder. Thanks for the advice.
-
Hey. I've just done as you suggested and got an email straight back saying that only documents should be sent to that address and that nothing enquiries wouldn't be taken notice of. Gutted.
-
Sorry if I'm being dumb here.
-
So reply to that address, and insert my Case Officer's initials into subject as well as my number?
-
Hmm, I can't see one. The first email I received was from familymigrationlondon**************, and it said not to email back to that address. The only option they gave was to go to the immi site and fill in a contact form. Does it make a difference that I applied through a paper application?
