Hi, I applied for a PMV 300 in March 2018 and was granted it in January 2019. In January 2019 my fiance arrive in Australia on her PMV 300 (She had to leave the country for it to be granted as she was here for 4 months on a travel visa). My fiance and I are now married as of last month and I want to progress the next stage. My questions are :- 1. Do I just include information from the date of PMV grant 4 months ago in the application. i.e. exclude all the relationship history, photos, chats etc from the PMV. I'm a little unsure how much info they want here, war and peace or just the last 4 months which will be, recent photos, meeting family, wedding, name on house/banks/joint bills. Next question 2. We are about to go on holiday in 2 months time, the PMV was granted in January 2019 so is valid for 9 months. If I apply for the 820 now and submit, does the PMV 300 stay in effect until it runs out. I'm concerned I go on an 820 wait list and get a Bridging Visa A, with no travel rights then have to mess around getting a Bridging Visa B to travel. In which case I'll just wait until a couple of months so submit my 820. Any help appreciated. :) Many thanks

Thanks for the answer

Hi, hoping someone can help ease my anxiety on this :- I applied and was granted a 189 Skilled visa on 29/01/2013 and have been living in Australia since. My now Ex-Wife was included in this application with me and is listed as a secondary applicant at the time of application/grant. We divorced in Australia last year. I have since met a new partner and am engaged to married, I wish to sponsor her under Prospective Marriage Visa. My confusion is around this question :- Has this sponsor previously sponsored/nominated a spouse, de facto, prospective spouse or interdependent partner? Under the 189 where my Ex-Wife was listed as a secondary applicant, did I technically sponsor her and should answer "Yes" to the question. Booklet 1127 defines "nominated" as a term previously referred to instead of sponsorship in 2002. If I answer "Yes" to the above question because it's applicable, then am I correct in proceeding anyway because it has been >5 years since the application/grant with my Ex-Wife. I don't want to proceed and spend $7k to be refused. Any help or advice appreciated.

Did you double check the letter ? Are you reading it properly as mine looked like this. Does yours say "Nil" for both ?

Yes, you were taxed April - January on a pro rata basis. I got just short of £5k, worth doing. P85 is the form I think.

Hi, I emigrated 20th October 2013, submitted my tax rebate form and got the money in my account on January 15th 2014. Took a couple of months.

Yeah its been weak up north, just started picking up as we were leaving but couldn't afford to just pay the mortgage and leave it sat there over winter. Think I'll just get an accountant to sort it especially when we come to sell. I don't think we'll be liable in terms of CGT as we don't plan on buying here in Oz till the uk property sells. We also won't make any substantial gain on the property as we bought this house when prices were high so we'd break even (possibly make £20k from the 10-15k of renovations). I just noticed Go Matilda do tax affairs, I'll contact them when the time comes, they have been super useful when inquiring about a visa for my mum.

That's great...thank you so much for your help. I've completed the NRL1 form, I have had to fill one in for myself and my wife (house is in joint names). I've split the gross income between myself and my wife since its essentially 50/50 split on the land registry. I actually read that you can only claim the interest part of the mortgage as tax deductable, I'm guessing that if the total profit is less than your annual allowable in the UK it just doesn't get taxed, then if you make any profit at the end of it you declare it as part of your australian tax return. I know I should really sort an accountant, but my affairs aren't overly complicated.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I left the UK and had a property empty and for sale. I completed a P85 and got a rebate on my tax as I left UK in October. Now after the house being on the market and the uk housing market being poor, we have changed our mind and decided to rent. Is an NRL form appropriate because at the moment we are getting taxed at 25% on the rental income, the house is under joint name with my wife who was a stay at home mum and never used her personal allowance. The rent we receive basically covers the mortgage and about £1000 annual profit which will be used to refurbish/maintain the uk property. Do I need to do some form of self assessment ? Any help appreciated. If I'd know I was going to rent I would have put it on my P85 but alas, things change.

Well done for trying. I've been in Oz 2 months now, I was under no illusions or preconceptions. I work hard, like I did in England, I check my finances like I did in England. Things are different, which I expected. I think part of it is that people have high expectations, my kids still goto school, we still argue..lol, xmas is weird, but hey, at least we've tried. Better to try and not like it than never try and wonder. All the best for the future.

They are also looking at if you can gauge the writing style and level of formality. i.e. Writing to a friend , Dear James, etc etc , Kind Regards Fred Writing to your boss, Dear Mr Brown, etc etc Yours sincerely

Thanks Learjet,

Hi, first post in this thread, just looking further down the line for my mum, aged 65. She would be looking for a CPV 143, and would not have an issue with balance of family etc etc. The issue that concerns me is the Health Requirements. She has a fair amount of medication for Cholesterol, blood pressure etc etc. I believe the general figure for rejection on medical grounds is projected costs must not exceed $35,000 over a 5 yr period. Is it worth me compiling a list of the drug/amount and doing a rough calculation before even starting the process ? How do you go about estimating the projected costs ? The only way I can think is adding it all up and working it out. I don't want her to shell out a visa application fee and medical fees to be told her medication is $10k per year and she fails. Anyone been in a similar position ? Thanks in advance.

2nd installment is only required if you have dependants > 18 who have less than functional english Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I would agree. Hnd with relevant experience should go for PE. They will assess and allocate you ET if they feel your job doesnt meet PE. Its a real tricky one because i remember many years back after i did an apprenticeship getting a job as Plant Maintenance Engineer. I wasnt an engineer at all in the true sense of the word, i fixed machines..thats a technician. The IMechE only considered me an engineer once i completed a degree a sat at a desk designing/planning and specifying. The word Engineer is the most commonly banded around incorrect terminology. A domestic appliance engineer, Sky dish engineer...none of these are engineers they are technicians. etc etc. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

limits and cut offs for everything in life i guess. too hard and not economical to consider each and every case thats outwith the boundaries. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
