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

I was coming from a WHV. Then i went on a bridging visa for the 3 months while i was waiting for my Partner visa to be approved.

I think the Perth office are really on top of things as a friend of mine sent hers to perth on the same day as me and her visa was granted the day before mine. :-) Boh only took 3 months! Where did you send yours Roses1?

3 months after lodgement, Visa Granted!

Visa was granted today! 29th April 2014. 18 Days after they asked for further information. So happy!

My Onshore Partner Visa was granted today! We sent it off to Perth on the 20th January 2014 and it was granted today 29th April 2014! I can't believe how quick it all took! So happy!

I don't want to get my hopes up but fingers crossed it only takes a couple of months at the most.

We sent off our 820 (Onshore) Partner Visa on the 20th January. It arrived at Perth Immi on the 22nd. We then sent off my medical and Police checks a few weeks later. I received an e-mail on the 10th April requesting further evidence. After speaking with my Case Officer today we just need a little extra information that we need to send to her via e-mail and then she will make a final decision....... I'm hoping this is all positive and i'm keeping my fingers crossed but so far i'm pretty impressed with how quickly this has all been done by :-)

Hey Mira, I'm still waiting on a facebook request from you :-) Yeah i got an e-mail with all attachments and my bridging visa which kicks in when my WHV expires on the 6 th Feb. Went and had my medical examination yesterday. They havent exactly asked for it yet but i thought i may aswell get the ball rolling. Went and had my passport photos done for my Police check today too. Almost finished, just need to send my police stuff to my mum so she can get it all signed by my docter back home. :-) Then she can send it on. How are you getting on? Did you send yours into Perth?

So visa lodged 20th Jan to Perth visa received 22nd Jan Money taken from bank and email received with bridging visa information etc attached on the 24th Jan im so happy!!!
