Hi Snifter.

I know that. Thanks.

The point is we need formal acknowledgement letter to be able to apply for Medicare.

Hey guys!

How soon did you receive your acknowledgement letters and visa fee receipt from the department?

Submitted paper application 1.5 weeks ago. Money debited last Wednesday. Still no confimation.

Do they send it by post or e-mail? (every time I call different consultent says different)

Is there any way you can ask them to make it faster?

My wife needs Medicare urgently and I'd like to have a bit of service for the $4575 we paid for the visa application. :mad:

Couple weeks ago submitted paper on-shore partner visa application. Their website said that partner visas can only be submitted as paper applicaitons.

So, it actually can be lodged on-line?

Frustrated with the service. As usual when it comes to australian visa.

Thanks Adam!

That's exactly what I had in my mind.

It shouldn't be used for things like partner visas or parent visas where processing times are likely to be quite lengthy.

 

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the advice. Why do you think it's not worth it to supply medicals with visa lodgement for partner visa?

As far as I remember previously Department recommended that applicants for partner visa do medicals and provide police clearance together with visa application. I cannot find this now though.

So, do you think it's better to wait for the office request now?

We are going to submit on-shore partner visa application soon and we were going to do medicals at the same time.

Thanks!
