Thanks so much for that.

Thanks for that. This is going to sound pretty dumb or irrelevant but would you have any idea how long you have to stay in Australia before being allowed to come and go? Initially, my daughter wont be coming to live with us and I dont think the subclass 101 is for if she ever was to come and join us, hence why I ask what seems to be a rediculous queation.

Thank you for your information. Do you have any idea how long a health check and/or police check usually last for?

Hi guys, I'm currently gathering all information needed for my spouse visa and I was just wondering if anyone knew how long you have to leave the uk once the visa is granted (if granted). I am British, my husband Australian and we have been married and living in the uk together for almost 6 years and we have been told by the department of immigration in london that once my visa has been lodged I will be upgraded (if thats the right word) to the subclass 100 due to how long we have been married. I mention that in case it makes any difference in the time in which we will be given to leave the uk. My second question is, whats the chances of getting duel citizenship for a step child? Naturally I am mum and the Australian citizen (my husband) the step father. We have 2 children together and their duel citizenship has been sent off and payment taken. I am aware that my daughter can be attached to my spouse visa, we are just looking at all options. Thanks so much for reading and thanks in advance for your time in replying. Sam and Steve.
