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.

This visa allows you to:

 

• stay in Australia for medical treatment
  
• study for up to three months, unless you are younger than 18 years old and your circumstances change while you are in Australia
  
• travel to Australia either:
  
  • once to enter the country until the treatment plan is completed, or
    
  • as many times as you want while your visa is valid.
    

   

   

 

 

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.

Hi

I've been on my partners 457 visa while living and working in Sydney for the last 6 months.

I want to move to PR and ultimately get an Oz passport at some point.

Does anyone know the quickest and cheapest way to go about this? I really don't know the options available.

 

Thanks!

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.

not necessarily, I was asked certified copy of wife's skill assessment even though they had granted 25 points (15 for degree and 10 for experience) in a previous visa application were she was main applicant.

This time I uploaded a very nice color scan and they did not seem satisfied. I am claiming 5 points now for skilled partner.

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

Bit of a difference though overstaying 4 years. To the OP it sounds like your friend needs to contact the dept of immigration, as people have said have a letter from his Dr. confirming the cancer diagnosis and need for treatment and i'm sure they'll be compassionate.

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

Actually a lot of physical evidence; receipts, statements, super forms, wills, joint accounts, declarations, cards/letters, tickets. Etc. In terms of the "Skype" things...just enough to prove that we spoke and maintained our relationship whenever we weren't travelling to visit the other.

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.

I note you have had your medical and police check. I was told that had to wait

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.

Unfortunately i can't help you on the same sex side of things but I did put together a defacto 457 visa for me and my partner. Here is a list of defacto evidence that we personally used, it may be over the top but too much is better than not enough.

Did you register the relationship to waiver the 12 month limit?

Defacto Evidence that we used:

Travel Tickets

All Travel Receipts

Car Insurance with named drivers

Valentines Cards

Wedding Invites

Xmas Cards 2014

Xmas Cards 2015

Photographs Undated

Photographs Dated

Electricity Bills

Form 888 x 2

ISP Bills

Financial Statements - Joint

Joint Relationship Statement (4 Pages)

Telephone Bills

Lease

A guy i knew 10 years ago booked a flight home went to the local police station and handed himself in they stamped him for 1 extra days stay and he was able to board the flight the next day.

Saying that, it was 10 years ago, things may have changed. If they do decide to do this i suggest bringing all necessary documentation showing that he is currently unwell and they may be more lenient, i would not personally rock up at the airport without first speaking to immigration or at least an immigration lawyer or they may be at more risk of being taken into detention.

I waited 2 months before my 457 dependent visa was approved. You may be entitled to a bridging visa upon application. I would get a migration agent to confirm that though. I personally applied offshore due to prior visa conditions.

That explains it, her friend applied in 2013 and was sponsored.

I just asked my girlfriend about this who is a registered nurse by degree, she has a colleague who she is working with who is a registered nurses and only had diploma qualifications, so there must be a way around this. It's worth contacting APHRA.

Could you not address this with your boss? If they ignore it go higher and to the boss of your boss and address your concerns confidentially if not go to HR? Leaving your job over this seems quite exaggerated?

You won't be contacted unless the visa is granted or they require more information.

We've been waiting 4 months on our 186 Visa so far and heard nothing apart from an automated mail requesting information we have already given them.

Back in Jan we uploaded the declaration paying for visa form for our 186 visa. I uploaded it under no document > other > (Declaration paying for visa) as i could not find a suitable evidence type to upload it to.

We received an email on the on the 23rd stating the following:

Dear recipient

 

You in this email refers to the primary applicant.

 

You are required to complete the attached Declaration form for your Employment Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa application and attach a copy to your ImmiAccount within seven (7) days.

 

On 14 December 2015, new criminal and civil penalties and visa cancellation provisions were introduced as part of a framework that allows for sanctions to be imposed on a person who asks for, receives, offers or provides a benefit in return for a visa sponsorship or employment that requires visa sponsorship.

 

Following the introduction of these laws, sponsors, nominators and visa applicants are required to provide a statement in relation to current or previous conduct that constitutes a breach in 'paying for visa sponsorship' activity. For the purpose of visa applications, this statement is referred to as a Declaration form.

 

How does this affect my visa application

 

If you have not completed and attached the relevant Declaration form to your ImmiAccount then your visa application is not valid, therefore you must follow the steps below:

print and complete the attached Declaration form; and

 

attach a copy to your ImmiAccount as a supporting document.

 

 

Please note that electronic signatures will not be accepted.

 

More information and a copy of the form are also available at www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work-1/payment-for-visas-declaration-requirement

It would appear to be a general email being sent out but unfortunately immi yet again are being confusing. If it is a generic email why is there a 7day limit? Just wondering if i should re-upload this form under a different evidence category and if so what type?

They are worth it if you have convictions illnesses, dont meet visa criteria. You can do visa applications yourself but it will involve alot of reading and research.

May want to double check that.
