It's so unsettling not hearing anything. Since weve sent it off, weve got engaged, brought a house and i'm currently pregnant expecting our first child. I just want my PR to be granted

I applied for my second stage at the beginning of February 2016 and been waiting 8 months already. I sent mine paper form to Melbourne.. Anyone else send theirs paper form to melbourne and still waiting?

I have now been waiting 8 months now. I lodged mine to melbourne at the beginning of February. Anyone else lodged theirs to melbourne and still waiting??

Also do you have to register the child as a british citizen? If so where would you do that?

I was born in the UK and am british. My Partner (Father) is a descent does this still count for the baby to get a british passport?

So I'm a British citizen and my partner is an Australian citizen with a British passport also (due to his father being British). We are currently expecting our first child here in Australia my questions are 1) would the child automatically get an Aussie passport? 2) how would I go about getting the child a British passport? Thanks in advance

Did you guys send yours to Melbourne? My first stage (802) I sent it to Perth and it got processed within 2 months

Did you post yours to Melbourne also?

So I logged into VEVO for the first time today. I don't get VEVO. It just has my visa details on it. Shouldn't it say pending or something?

Eligibility Date - 22/01/2016 Date Applied - 04/02/2016 Sent to Melbourne Waiting.....

I sent mine off two days ago, here's what I attached - 2 Stat decs (888) forms from PR's or Citizens - A stat Dec from me (Applicant) - A stat dec from my partner (Sponsor) - Information form (Cant remember the correct term for it) Form 80 Maybe? - Around 15-20 pieces of evidence (Bills, Joint bank account info, travel documents etc) - Police Check (AFP) - Copies of both passport photos on the signature page I hope this helps, Fingers crossed

Hi all, So I sent off for my PR yesterday (or the day before) as in the second stage of our partner visa (820). I sent it in an express post bag to Melbourne from Adelaide which i have checked and it arrived this morning. Unlike last time I didn't receive an e-mail to say they have received it. Do they do this? Also anyone know from experience how long the processing time takes? Thanks Hayley

Ok. I've put most of it together and filled in the forms and sent off for my police check today so will probably get it sent off the day after my lodgement date. Stressing less about it now. :-)

Thanks So much Snifter. You have been a massive help to me this time round and certainly through the first stage as well. Are you from Adelaide too? The heat is lovely but only in small doses. One more thing, It says my eligibility date is from the 22nd Jan. We will obviously lodge it after that but how much time after the eligibility date do we have?

Hi all, I recently received an e-mail to say that I am eligible to apply for the second stage of my partner Visa (Permenant). Again I am totally overwhelmed. I have a few questions - The 888 Stat decs that I need to get two people to fill out, Can I get the same two people to fill it out as last time round or do I need two people that haven't done it? - What do I need to include in my applicant? Photos? Bills etc - My Passport runs out in August. Once my PR comes through, how do I get that transferred over to my new passport? I've heard that the second stage is no where near as bad as the first stage. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Hayley
