Guest Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Took me about 2 months. I didn't put much evidence in though, was planning to add some more but was granted before I got round to it. Was granted about a month ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Took me about 2 months. I didn't put much evidence in though, was planning to add some more but was granted before I got round to it. Was granted about a month ago Thanks for that, very good to hear - and congrats on getting the PR. Ours will be a 100, but I'll ask here as the basic process is the same - My husband's 2 years since application are up on 6th June and we're just getting the last of the paperwork together. We have an Immi account ready to upload stuff too, and we've kept them up to date with current addresses i expected to actually hear something from DIBP by now but have had nothing. Did they actually write to/email you to request the paperwork, or did you just go ahead and upload it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To apply online you need to wait until your eligiblilty date or you can apply 2 months before your eligiblilty date by post.

Got everything sorted except for his statement (typical bloke!) so we should have the application in by the end of next week. Be good to get it over with!

lucyh88 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hey guys, I've been eligible to apply for my 100 visa for a few days now. I've tried using the online account but keep getting an error message once I've put in my details suggesting something is incorrect. I've checked numerous times and it definitely isn't! Immigration suggested I may have to apply by paper as my application ID starts with IRIS - has anyone else encountered this? Seems strange people from the UK who applied before/same time as me are able to import the second stage to online and not me. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Lucy Thanks for that, very good to hear - and congrats on getting the PR.Ours will be a 100, but I'll ask here as the basic process is the same - My husband's 2 years since application are up on 6th June and we're just getting the last of the paperwork together.

Quinkla Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mine took about two months - but I applied over a month before eligibility. It arrived about three weeks after eligibility. That was in 2012. I know it seems frustrating to be waiting for the grant - I was checking VEVO several times a day but it actually makes very little difference when it does come through. You might find it easier to get credit and you know that it doesn't matter if the relationship breaks down, but if neither of those situations applies, it is just a bit of an anti-climax when it happens.

Was online, thats why I was planning on adding more evidence sporadically. Can vouch for the anti climax though, life is just the same as it was before, citizenship a bigger deal I imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucyh88 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi, Yes that's what I did. Haven't inported anything. Just can't get past personal details page using my IRIS application ID. Which immigration site does mention can't be used for a number of visas but not partner. No one else on the IRIS application ID tried yet? Hi Lucy,You don't need to import any files when you applying online for the second stage. You need to select Information for second stage partner visa 801/100.

Seems strange people from the UK who applied before/same time as me are able to import the second stage to online and not me. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Lucy Two issues I have found so far. First one is that you need to use the Application ID from the email/letter inviting you to do the PR stage NOT the ID from the Temp stage. Leave out the IRIS bit (as i did) and just put in the figures. Thats at a very early stage and had me stumped for a while till i realised the new email has a new application ID. Secondly there is a question about whether it is 24 months since the temp visa was applied for. You must say YES to that or you can't go any further. Ours isn't quite 24 months but I've said yes and am just filling in the info but won't actually submit it until the 2 year anniversary (2weeks time). If its not one of those problems, let me know how far you have got and I'll have a look at mine. Edited May 24, 2015 by Nemesis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyh88 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Nemesis, thank you so much for your insight... I was using the old application ID and just checked my letter and realised you are right, it is a different one. Hopefully that solves the problem, I will check tomorrow!

I was using the old application ID and just checked my letter and realised you are right, it is a different one. Hopefully that solves the problem, I will check tomorrow! Cheers I had the same problem at first. once I realised they were different and used my husband's PR letter reference it was fine :)Just use figures, if there are letters again then ignore them. And be careful of the question 'Is it 24 months since........' If you put NO you can't proceed. So we have put yes, carried on working through the form, but won't actually submit untl its exactly 24 months. The other tip I will give you is to save it frequently, even if you are going straight to the next page. If it times out (on a long page) or if your internet connection drops out, you lose the stuff since the last save. The statement about the relationship, done by the applicant can take a good while to fill in even if you are just coopying something already written out, so I suggest you save after each box - you'll see what i mean when you get to it!

lucyh88 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah they definitely don't make it very clear...and when I called up the guy didn't know why either and just thought it wouldn't work. So thank you, that has definitely saved me a lot of effort! We are just past the 24 month mark now so that bits all good thanks for the saving tip, I can imagine that would be really annoying!

Nemesis Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 @Nemesis! After a very frustrating evening stuck on page 4 of my online application, I gave up and turned to the forum and was lucky enough to find your post! Thank you so much for this information.... :notworthy: No problem. that online thing takes hours! Jeeeez I reckon the old paper forms were quicker! Further tips you have to press Submit on the application, after typing all the personal info and the Applicant's details of the relationship, BEFORE you can upload the extra stuff (all this is new for those of us who did the first stage on paper). I recommend you have all the stuff you want to upload scanned and in a folder so that its easy and quick to find each document. The statement by the Sponsor gets uploaded as part of this process. Its a slow process as you have to put a category in for each document, so the more organised you are beforehand the better. Anyway, finished and submitted in the early hours of today, so now we just wait.....again!............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back home and had so much going on before I left that I didn't get my second stage application submitted before today! Never mind, it's only money :cry: I went to the immigration dept to ask about it and they said there was no deadline to get it in so I've stopped stressing about it for now. Will continue when I get back from Greece in 3 weeks! I hope yours is processed quickly.
