Hey there

after lodging my 820 partner visa last April, I have just recieved an email saying its being process, I haven't been assigned with a case officer though, it just explains to get together any documents I haven't done already, which I have

question is how will I hear if I have been approved, via email, phone call?

Also anyone know from experience will it be any day now or weeks?

Thanks

You do not hold an 820 partner visa. If you did you would not need to transfer your 457 to another sponsor.

 

The nomination will not cancel your lodged partner application.

 

 

No, unless you want to lodge a new 457 visa.

 

 

Correct.

 

Plus, once your current 457 visa expires, the bridging visa for your partner visa will come into effect, which should have no work restrictions.

great, thanks for your help

Okay so the new company lodging the 457 nomination will not cancel my 820 partner visa?

can they not nominate me for upto 4 years and this stays in effect? Or is it because my last company dos until October 2015 that the new nomination can only go until then? thanks

Hello there

i was on a 457 and got made redundant in the last month, however in April 2014 I lodged my 820 partner visa, I understand it can take 12-15 months to be processed and haven't hesrd anything

i have a new company who want to take over my 457 nomination, as I'm applying for another visa, if the 457 is approved, will this cancel my 820 partner visa application? Or will the new 457 be in effect until I hear back about my 820 partner visa? As I understand you can only have 1 vosa

also, what if my 820 partner visa is refused? Will my 457 still be in effect?

im scared to lodge the new 457 as I don't want to lose my partner visa! But I need to work

thanks

Thanks Quinkla, I did think that

I guess you never know what happens and have to weigh your options

im in a steady/good job aswell as a future planned with my partner and no reason to break up!

Hi there,

I was on a 457 visa when I lodged my 820 partner, I probably will not hear back from my 820 partner visa until earliest April 2015 because of the long processing times

since lodging this, I was made redundant on my 457, however I have found a new sponsor for my 457 to enable me to work

my question is...

I get a new 457 visa contract until 2018, once my 820 first stage comes back approved, will that cancel my 457 entitlement until 2018? say if me and my partner were to break up (hope not!) before immigration get back to me for more proof in 2 years, if were not together or denied the visa after 2 years, can I fall back on my 457 contract?

Sorry if this confuses anyone!

Thanks

I've never heard of an approved 187 sponsor. As far as I know, an employer doesn't need any separation sponsorship status to nominate someone for a 187 visa, unlike the 457 visa (which requires an employer to be an approved Standard Business Sponsor). If they haven't got their SBS approval, they need to do that before they can nominate you.

oh okay, I'm not sure on exact procedures with the 187 visa.

all I know is that she has gone through 5 girls on a 187 Perm Resident visa, and I hope that means she can sponsor me on a 457

Hello

i am on a 457 visa and looking for a company to take over this by nominating me

a company is keen to take me on, however the employer is an approved 187 sponsor holder, my question is, can she take on my 457 by nominating me or does she need to apply to be a 457 approved sponsor?

thank you

Thank you everyone and QUINKLA I didn't wish for this thank you

and there's no need to say comments like that right now

So my employer just told me they are cancelling my 457 visa because they no longer meet the requirements to sponsor me..

basically they aren't earning enough

it was due to expire next October 2015

however I have already applied for my PR 820 partner visa in April an won't hear back till early next year because of the wait times

so I want to know what happens now? Will I get a bridging visa with work rights?

can I look for any job now? Or because they cancelled my visa will I not be able to work for anyone? Or leave the country?

i get 2 weeks pay an that Is it!! I'm screwed! I cannot wait for my 820 visa because I cannot live on no wage until then

please help me guys!!

Great thank you

will that be required from exactly the same date but two years on from when I lodged it?

does my partner need to be in the country or just me?

what is required from him?

Bump

Hey

can people tell me from experience what immigration will ask of me when it comes to the second stage (2 year wait) of the partner visa to show me an my partner are still together..

will it be statutory declarations, photos, bills, joint things..etc like the first application?

just want to save this an keep safe now so I'm resdy

not that I have even been granted first visa!

thanks

Thanks

 

No kids, never married, we lived with my parents for almost the entire duration, the other half was in a house share, no large joint assets, no joint bank account - we had been together in a defacto relationship for 18months.

 

we had applied for a BVB and they contacted us to grant the partner visa instead - we were very lucky, certainly not the norm, we had expected not to hear a single thing until 18months after submitting.

wow! That's amazing. I wonder how you got so lucky! There's people who lodged theirs last year an still haven't had a word off immigration! I hope mine gets lucky too

I'm so desperate to leave my current employer, they aren't paying me correctly or giving me enough hours, it's so hard to survive on a part time wage but I'm unable to tell immigration that right now otherwise I will end up on a no works right bridging visa an unable to leave the country! Which I plan on going back to England for Christmas an it's a lot of money to lose if I can't leave!

Lodged ours onshore in feb 2014, had it granted in June 2014 so just under 4 months! Didn't use an agent.

wow!!! That's amazing quick! Congratulations.

have you kids together, married?

I suppose it doesn't work with first come first served

Yes to all.

When did you lodge yours wrussell?

Lodged January. guess it was 16th? or around.

I received email about 2 weeks ago that the CO is about to be assigned to my application.

Got a health check, and sent some more information a week ago.

Waiting for update on my application.

Have you been granted your visa now?

Mines been in 4 months now.. Feels like a year!

Oh my gosh George thats madness!! i pray mine wont take that long!

Aww still waiting Keano? Have you been given a case officer yet? I know it says 12-15months at the moment, but i can't understand why the wait is so long! a few people i have heard of got 6months wait, im praying for it!!

Nice to just hear something from them, seen as they take the money quick enough!

I know I ask this question a lot but each time a new thread, new people reply!

so has anyone lodged their 820 partner visa (1st stage) since January and been granted already?

If so what were the circumstances.. Eg children, marriage?

I lodged mine in April an yes I know it can take a good year, I'm just so impatient I like to know peoples stories

TIA

heya.. was this the 2nd part of the application? or the 1st stage? Congrats!

It seems some people wait 12-15 months and others get it within a few months. everyone case is completely different, its just the luck of the draw I so much want to leave my current job however i cant be stuck on a bridging visa with no work rights or unable to leave the country! my current employer are disobeying by the contract and im struggling to survive on my wage. just have to play the waiting game!

Hey! i lodged mine end of April, with all documents required so nothing left to hand in. only received a notification email, nothing since its such a shame there is such a long wait.

1 of the salons i work in is up for sale, goodness if the one i work in will be up for sale before my 457 expires! I also want to book a flight home for Christmas this year, however i am worried i may not have a job before then, an unable to leave the country on the bridging visa i will receive! How long have you left on your 457?

Thank you

Just curious if anyone has lodged a 820 partner visa since January 2014 and either been granted, got a case officer or heard something since?

(With all documents/checks required put in too)

thanks
