Thanks for your help looks like we'll have to wait for his birth cert to return. Cheers

So he will not be able to re-enter on his UK passport?

The girlfriend and I are both permanent residents and had a baby boy 2 months ago we are planning to go back to the UK asap (sick family member) and decided to get a UK passport for him as we figured this seems to be the easiest and cheapest to get. My question is will we need any re-entry visa for him upon our return to Australia with his British passport? We are hearing mixed opinions about having resident return visa for him or proof of citizenship however we have already sent off his birth cert for the uk passport which could be weeks. Can anyone shed light on the matter?

Visa approved!! 457 - 186 Temp Resident Transition Stream Nomination Lodged - 10th November 2015 Visa Submitted with medicals and police checks - 26th January 2016 Approved 1st July 2016 For reference we did not bother filling out form 80 although this was listed on the document checklist.

602 is what you want https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/602- You need to read more in depth about the visa, it's a general all roun medical visa an allows applicants to apply onshore or ofshore. Ofshore applicants would be likely seeking medical consultations/surgeries in Australia where as people applying onshore would be in state of medical emergencies. Set up and immi account and send off the application online with the requested document information on that page, it really is that simple.

Getting the nod for a tourist visa is a lot different than getting the nod for a sponsored visa.

Best bet, get a skilled trade. He can still visit on a tourist visa and even apply for an extension but he will not be able to work.

Generally case officers are not very helpful in regards to queries. They tend to look at sent documents on or after the due date. You may be better off asking a migration agent or people on this forum. Edit.. I've just read your other thread. You are best contacting the medical clinic that performs the health check like suggested, and if not contact immigration, i wouldn't expect much response from a case officer. That being said if you are confused about the issue a migration agent may be able to help.

I'm not sure why your mother didn't add you in the first place but just make sure you get this done before you hit 19 or you will lose your ability to apply under your mother.

Very unlikely.

We opted for 186 Transition stream, this involves your partners work sponsoring them for permanent employment and residency, however your partner would be expected to stay with that company for a minimum of 2 years (This is not mandatory but technically does breach conditions in terms of moral obligations if they were to leave their job within the 2 year period). We collected all the evidence and lodged ourselves it was pretty straight forward with the help of this forum. The application itself cost about 5k. The reason we opted for this is because it seemed less hassle, no skills assessment or english test was required, which wouldn't have been the case if we had opted for direct entry.

I think particularly important documents that affect the outcome of your visa such as passports, birth certificates, qualifications etc, are expected to be certified.

I don't think it necessarily makes any difference, overstaying is still overstaying regardless of the time frame.

Just ensure you upload the documents into pdf categories. Such at holiday receipts in 1 pdf file bank statements in 1 file and so on. You only get a certain upload limit 60 documents if i recall. If you have all of that evidence dating back over 12 months then you should be absolutely fine. Providing you have no previous convictions or serious health issues.

Well you have a choice you could have applied for a HAP ID and have your medical before you lodged and also get your police checks, or you could wait for the CO to request it which is highly likely they will. A lot of people opt to do the medicals prior to lodgement so that there would be no further delay. Police checks can be uploaded at any time.
