So after my 7 month wait for my visa and over 4 years together with my partner we managed to break up a month before I was due to leave for Aus. Oops
-
Applied 1st March and got mine 1st October so 7 months to the day aswell. Not as though I'm in any real rush as flying out at the start of Dec
-
Who was your CO ?
-
wrong quote
-
Sorry I thought it was an offshore, Yeah I know some people who have waited over 15 months now
-
Christ!! Did you ask them why it is taking so long ? and when its due ? I was told 8-9 months top and most people seem to get them a little early
-
MY CO is VF too and applied end of Feb so finders crossed for some news in September
-
Oh well, It would be nice just to be told whether everything was ok. Well fingers crossed
-
Just a quick question, Is generally no news good news ? As I submitted my Application end of February and got assigned at start of March to a CO they let me know 2 questions I hadn't answered so I sent this off and was notified they had arrived and was given the data to get medical and police checks done by. So got medical and police checks done and emailed my CO to check to see if they received all the information from these ok and she confirmed she had got them and then mentioned not to contact them unless urgent until the 8-9 month time frame has passed. Is it usual to hear so little ? If they needed any further information or an interview would have they contacted me yet ? Thanks

I mainly just wanted to get into my field (IT) as soon as possible and earning some decent money so I can settle down in Canberra with my Girlfriend.

Lets say I arrive with a WHV then and apply for my partner visa as soon as I arrive while the application is being processed can I have my working restrictions lifted ? Also what happens if my WHV expires while my partner visa is being processed? They don't seem to make this too easy
-
Thanks for your help so far, my only problem is wanting to get into a permanent job asap after arriving in Canberra and would have trouble to get a job in my field (IT) on a WHV. If I apply for a partner visa say in this country and then travel to Aus while its still being processed how do I enter the country ? would I need to get a WHV or some kind of temp visa ? Evidence for our relationship should be fine, we lived together for 3 years so have bank statements in each of our names at that address as well as join travel insurance for the past 2 years etc and about 10 holidays together in that period.

Right a quick little background on me and my situation so hopefully someone can help steer me in the right direction as what to do, thanks. Right I'm 26 year old IT Professional who is planning to move to Australia (Canberra for the first few years) to live with my Girlfriend of over 4 years who has just moved back to start Uni. I'm confused as to how to get my partner visa as what route is best, whether I should apply for one from London or travel to Australia first on a working holiday visa and then apply for my Partner visa as soon as I arrive. Also what type of working restrictions are there while I'm applying for my partner visa and can these be lifted during the application as I'm keep to get a job as soon as possible after arriving. Also I understand a lot of roles in Canberra seem to be for the government and therefore only open to Australian citizens, will I really struggle to find work even with a Partner visa ? Thanks for all your help

sorry should read "emigrating" -
Right a few questions rolled into one that I hope someone can help me with. I'm trying to understand what the IT Job market is like in Canberra for a non Australia citizen as I understand I won't be able to work for government agencies etc being British etc. I'm still not sure what way is best to get my partner visa (Aus girlfriend of 4 years just moved to Canberra to go Uni) (in the UK or in Aus) and while that is being processed can I have working conditions lifted ? Any help would be great! Thanks
