Hi all, We are moving back to uk soon. My husband is an electrician and wants to ship his tools. Could anybody possibly give us some advice as to how to do this, what companies to use etc? We sort of need an idiots guide thankyou

Ok thanks yes i was born in britain and lived there until three years ago. Will it be the same as what my husband did, he didnt even need to apply for citizenship he just applied for a first british passport? His parents were both born in england but not lived there since they were kids! he just sent off their birth certificates and had a british passport back to him in under 2 weeks!

Hello everyone, I posted a couple of months back about my situation but I now have the following question that im worried about! Iam 6 mths pregnant, living in Aus with Aussie husband. Baby due in January, but we are thinking of moving to UK next year after baby is born. Husband recently got his British passport no problems (through descent). But I stupidly assumed the baby would be able to get british citizenship through me no problems but have since heard this is not the case! Im a total numpty! How would we all be able to live together in UK if baby can only have Australian citizenship? I would appreciate any advice or replies as i just dont know how this works?? Thanks

Ok will look up an agent then maybe. Iam currently thinking that UK as country and UK address might be the right way to go, however I will be concerned then that it will go through as an offshore app! Also would it then look odd me later on in the app staying that I was living in Canada for over 2 years when I'd just stated that UK is my usual address? Argh

Thanks snifter. Yes I do agree with you on country of residence and current address etc I was just concerned about it looking like I was lodging an offshore application as it appears to be the same app form for both 309 and 820. Will I be OK putting the UK and UK address then do you think? Even though I haven't actually lived in UK for over 2 years either. Have come from Canada where I was on working holidays. No no rush I've had to save and log off for tonight anyway to double check some other details. I just had a moment where I was stressed and puzzled and worried about putting the wrong thing.

Hi ali thanks for replies. The 47sp asks for usual country of residence. Then the next question was to fill in your full residential address. So far I have put the UK as my country of residence. And put my current Australian address as residential address. However the side note explanation seemed to infer that one should be putting a residential address from the same country you have stated in your 'usual country of residence'

I believe so ali. I went via this link and clicked the 47sp form. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Appl/Partner The elodgement page I have been filling in says this at the topApplication for migration to Australia by a partner

How else is one to request quick replies please without stating quick replies please. :huh: I would have also thought a very fitting scenario for capital letter usage.

I was very polite with my P's and Q's as always.

We have just started to apply for an 820 onshore partner visa and struggling at the first hurdle. Iam a UK citizen currently in Oz on a visitor visa. Have got this question: Your usual country of residene: I was going to put UK but then it says in the side note that the residential address will also have to be 'offshore' then i.e uk address. But i want to apply for ONSHORE partner visa. What do i do? DO i put australia as country of residence and then also the australian address iam at?

Thanks for replies. I've sorted the Canadian one. And also know how to order another one if this one expires. Just the UK one

Thanks for the reply snifter. Yes I was thinking about using the UK address but I haven't lived in the UK for 2 and a half years. I've come over to Aus from Canada. Ok I was under the impression all checks had to be submitted at time of application?

Hi I have just recently come over to Brisbane with my new husband on a visitor visa but he has been offered a good job and we want to stay and lodge a partner visa app. I need to get a police check from the UK but they need two proofs of address, obviously I can't get them for here as well I haven't been living here long and don't qualify for Medicare or anything I could get proof of address for.! I really dont know what to do! Anyone any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated right now Thanks in advance

Any more advice?
