  1. It doesn't matter what name your police check is in, they will check in every name you have ever had anyway. Police checks and medicals are valid for a year, if your case is not finalised before the year is up, then you would need to do again.

     

     

    Ah thank you so much for that :) as for the medical..... well i guess i shall just to bite the bullet and have that done again lol

  2. Just preparing my partner visa, ready for submission after my wedding in 2 n a bit weeks time .... now it says i have to provide a police check from the UK (the one i had for the prospective marriage visa has expired) ..... query i have is can i apply for a new one now or should i wait until we are married as i shall be taking my partner's last name. If i apply now, will they accept my police check in my maiden name? As my current subclass 300 visa expires in February, I am wanting to front load everything as I am limited on time so need to apply for this asap

    Another quick q is the medical, my UK one is still current until January so will i need another one done in Australia or will this one be accepted?

  3. Hi we flew from manchester 2 perth in nov last year with singapore airlines. We flew 2 munic, gt of, reboarded, flew 2 singapore, got of reboarded, then on 2 perth.

    They are a top class airline food , staff everything fantastic, u get so much food snacks drinks, ur stuffed lol. Highly remomend u fly with them x

     

    that's the flight i have with them but to brissy :)

  4. I am sending my visa application and it has grown to quite a substantial size due to the information required. I am a little worried about sending it as I want to make sure it gets there (Brisbane). I've had one or two times where things have done missing in the post and it would be terrible if it happened in this instance due to the time and effort involved preparing this application. I guess the best way would be take it there myself, as Brisbane is a 2+ hour drive i'll have to post it. Is registered post the best way to go? or are there safer, better options?

     

    like the others have suggested, i would definately use a courier as for my subclass 300 app, i had an important item go missing somewhere between Aus and the UK (UK application) so learnt my lesson and paid the extra money to ensure it arrived .... well worth it imo :)

  5. Applied for Prospective Marriage Visa on the 15th December 2011, granted 31st May :D CO's have been saying it is an average 5 month wait for this visa, not sure about the rest x

  6. Hi all just wondering about people's experiences of flying with SA as last time i went to Aus i flew with Emirates. Never flown with these before and as I have a horrific stopover time (17 hrs) in changi airport, i'm just wanting some ideas of what i can do bar book a transit hotel room to pass the time. As well as what the flight/food etc is like and if you are able to use your mobiles whilst at altitude? All info is much appreciated :)

  7. i'm also from the uk and mine has been submitted now for 4 n a half months, decision due in 2 weeks :swoon:and as of yet, I have not been asked in for interview .... i think they are just to answer any concerns that may have come up from your application and that they may need to question you on whatever it is that may have caused confusion or concern ..... i could be wrong but mine has been pretty much plain sailing. Just follow the check list, front load police check and wait for request for meds and you should be all good . Some one with more experience in this may be able to offer more information though :)

  8. I am in the UK, my fiance is Aus and he filled the form in and sent it to our celebrant. The celebrant has filled it in based on a scan of my passport and birth cert (converted into PDF) that was emailed to her. That is sufficient for her to do what she needs to do until i arrive :) so maybe your celebrant will be able to accept the same :)

  9. i have 2 canvas prints on wooden frames and i'm not sure as to whether or not i could take these with me to aus (prohibited items etc)

    has anyone shipped canvas prints before and if so I am to expect a charge etc if I do?
