Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 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?

Bungo Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Demanding quick replies in CAPITAL LETTERS and bumping after twenty seven minutes isn't going to get you far. It is not polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 I was very polite with my P's and Q's as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 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.

ali Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Have you accessed the correct form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 For 47SP only seems to ask for a residential address - which would be your Australian address if you are lodging on shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 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' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I'd have thought that if you are in Aus on a tourist visa its not where you hold your residential address as you are on holiday in Aus. If your usual country of residence is the UK then the residential address matching that country makes sense to me. I really cannot say for sure either way tbh as my application was off shore. I'd either wait till Monday morning and consult an agent or be patient and wait for more replies from those who lodged on shore to see what they did. The forum is always quieter on weekends and there are not masses of partner visa applicants onshore to be around to reply quickly. Honestly, waiting 24-48 hours to fill in the online application isn't going to be a disaster is it? Better to wait for some feedback than fill in and be wrong. Post and ask this in the partner visa thread may also get it seen by more eyes on partner visa applications who may subscribe to the thread and therefore get notified a new post has been made to it.

Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 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.

Guest Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Oh you are the one been in Canada. OK so your case is a little more complicated then most in terms of where you have been residing etc if you've been elsewhere living. Honestly, I'd be checking with an agent. $7,000 or so is a lot to lose on getting an application wrong by giving the wrong info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 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?

Guest Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 That would be my concern. At least check what is best and if you then need to include a note somewhere on the form to explain the WHV in Canada for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
