Hi all, I applied for a partner visa on the 14 March 2017 and this was granted on the 09. May 2017 with the stipulation that I must make first entry to Australia before 26 April 2018. Recently I was having a small procedure in hospital and the doctor found a large mass in my lower abdomen. This may be a fibroid but it will require further investigation/treatment and I have been referred to a gynaecologist and I am waiting an appointment. So should I inform the Australian authorities of this now? I am concerned that if I do require treatment this may affect the date I need to have entered Australia by. I am worried that my visa may be withdrawn as I could be viewed potentially as a risk in the future to be a drain on Australian medical resources. But I also want to be upfront with the Australian authorities. Has anyone else had this experience or know if the first entry date can be extended due to circumstances? Many thanks X

Thank you all so much for your comments and information. My wife has asked if as she would be my sponsor what requirements does that entail? She is concerned as she will be with me coming from the UK that she won't be working straight away and won't have a job lined up that this will affect the visa application? if anyone needs help with Australian type thingos my wife is more than willing to advise X

Hi everyone I am currently in UK living with my Australian wife. We have been together for over 4 years and married for two. I should point out we are in a gay relationship. Now my wife is very home sick so we are planning to move to Oz in 2017 but the visa is getting us very confused. As Australia does not recognise gay marriage yet we are looking at the partner 309/100 visa but we thought we could apply within Australia but it states you must apply outside. Is this the right visa as I want to work in Australia. Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice would be greatfully received.
