    Thanks so much! I did some research yesterday and found your replies on http://www.australiaforum.com (guessing it's you because it was the same username ;-)... The checklist is really confusing with all these incorrect information; I would have been totally lost without the help of all the forums and discussions... Thanks again.. you are a star :-) xx

    Thanks for all your help @CollegeGirl. Just another quick question; when you guys filled up the 47SP and 40SP forms online, you used the same ImmiAccount, right? Also, is it okay if I pay for the visa using my hubby's credit card? It says in the document checklist (for 820) that 'If your sponsor has paid the visa application charge for you then you must lodge your application by post or in person'.. totally confused after reading this! Also, do we need to provide health (Medicare) and travel insurance documents?

    Thanks so much for your reply @CollegeGirl. I'm so happy to finally find somebody who's just been through the same process. I'm getting all the new evidence sorted slowly... adding my name to our utility accounts (Electricity, Telephone), opening joint bank accounts etc.. So hopefully there'll be enough evidence of life together when we apply in October. Our marriage celebrant informed us today that it'll be 4-5 weeks after the wedding date that we'll receive the proper official marriage certificate! We were hoping to apply just after our wedding, but I guess there's nothing much we can do without the official certificate. What about statements from friends and family? Did you reuse the old ones (from PMV) or had to provide new ones? Also, is it possible to apply online? Thanks xxx

    Hi guys, I am in Oz now settling down to my new life in Queensland (entered Brisbane 25th July on PMV)! I had a quick question about the next visa application; Dave and I are planning to get married in October and applying for the next visa in November; however my UK PCC expires in September and I am unsure if I'll need another new one when applying for the changeover from PMV to partner visa. Also, do we need to send all the other documents once again or they are already there on my file with DIBP? Thanks xx

    Hi Natalie, Your situation seemed very similar to mine and since it was posted some time back, I am guessing you have already applied and obtained your partner visa (820/801). I am in Oz now settling down to my new life in Queensland (entered Brisbane 25th July on PMV)!I had a quick question about the next visa application; Dave and I are planning to get married in October and applying for the next visa in November; however my UK PCC expires in September and I am unsure if I'll need another new one when applying for the changeover from PMV to partner visa. Also, do we need to send all the other documents once again or they are already there on my file with DIBP? Thanks xxx

    Thanks @StevenLozza and @Ronansmyth! I still can't believe it and keep reading the email over and over again! My flights are booked for 26th July... So need to start packing now... :-)

    JUST RECEIVED OUR GRANT!!!!! 8months 1 day!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jiggy:

    That's interesting; we have applied for PMV as well but our wedding date is in October 2014, so I guess this doesn't affect us.... But it'll be an useful piece of information for future PMV applicants.

    Hi @rheia and @CrossFit Mark, I emailed our CO (DP) yesterday and received an 'out of office' reply; he'll be back on 10th Oct (that'll be exactly 8 months for us)... So hopefully he'll grant us our visa once he is back from his short break! I have booked my flights as well; flying out on 26th July! :-) Just need the grant now.... Good luck everyone and keep us posted xx

    Thanks Owliswise :-) I am planning to move to Oz end of July; so I think the timing should be okay. Fingers crossed for both of us! :hug:

    Just an update from my side... We emailed our CO today requesting for an update (applied 9th Oct, so nearly 8 months) and received the 'out of office' reply :mad: Thankfully he's on holiday only for a week and will resume work on the 10th... that'll be the full 8 months for us! So hoping that our grant comes through once he is back from his short break :yes:
  15. dia2499
    Yes.. it's just for the contracts that I need a month after the visa grant; most of them need a months notice (BT, Vodafone, Elec/Gas, Water etc etc... list goes on). We have completed 7 months now and hopefully the grant will come through right at the 8th month mark.... :-) Good luck to you too xxx
  16. dia2499
    Yes it's been really tough.. hopefully the wait will be over soon. Planning to fly out maybe a month after my visa grant.. will book my tickets as soon as the grant comes through. I have informed work and already researched shipping companies (like you hehehe).. also opened an account with Money Corp to transfer my savings... keeping everything ready... just need the grant now :-)

    Hey.. Great you started this thread... The wait is nearly over for us and hopefully the grants will start coming through from early June... I applied 9th October... My fiance is an Aussie and we have been apart since June 2013 (he visited for 3 weeks over Christmas though :-) ... so the wait has been really tough for both of us. We are just waiting for the grant and will book our flight tickets as soon as it comes through.. :-)

    Happy Easter to all PIO peeps... hoping for lots of visa grants in the coming months... :hug: :yes: Love n Luck Diana

    Hi bearinmind, Of course I remember you.. I can imagine that it'll be difficult for you to settle in Oz without the visa.. no work rights etc.. but at least both of you are together and it is nearly time for our grants.. the bigger chunk of waiting is done and now it's only 2 months more! I am counting each day now, the wait is terrible but there's light at the end of the dark tunnel and we are nearly there.. Keep us posted about your progress coz once you receive your grant it'll be my turn! Good luck in Oz! xxxx

    Hey Owliswise (nice name hehehe) My CO is DP and yes he has been really good; we have not disturbed him either; just checked with him after my meds and he confirmed that they were fine.. where you going for your meds? Mine was at Cardiff Spire and the doc was brilliant... didn't feel a thing during my blood test :-) I have not seen my man since Christmas and the wait is becoming unbearable now.. hoping for an early June grant.. Enjoy Thailand with your missus (to be) and then when you return it'll be nearly time for our grants... Good luck xx

    Hey Straya... thanks so much for your post.. this forum has helped me a lot to stay focussed and not lose hope; We Skype everyday twice.. there's a 10 hour time difference so it's difficult but somehow we manage! It's been more than 8 months that we have been apart.. my partner had to return to Oz for work commitments.. he visited twice in between though.. really good times :-) We keep telling ourselves that the hard part is over (5.5 months into the waiting game).. only 2.5 months more... What you said is so true... discussing and imagining the future does help a lot... planning trips and Christmas :-) Keep in touch.. our applications are just a week apart, so might be processed together.. btw which part of Oz your moving to? I'll be moving to Brisbane... Enjoy ur Skype sessions... hope everything works out soon.. for both of us.. xxxxx

    Hi Straya.. My CO is DP and the last contact I had with him was after the meds were submitted; he confirmed that the meds were fine and now it's just a waiting game.. It's taking the full 8 months now.. I was hoping a May grant but now I think it'll be June.. :-(
  23. dia2499
    Hey Cosi, I see that you've applied on the 16th October, so just a week after me (9th).. Who'z your CO? Have you had any contact with him/her after meds/police check? The wait's killing us and there's not been many grants since last few weeks.. wonder what's happening..
  24. dia2499
    Hi Bridetobe2014, I know how it feels dear; we are in a similar situation.. My fiance and I applied for PMV beginning of October; just did my Medicals last week and Police checks sent in as well.. Our CO has also sent the important documents back to us.. so now it's just a waiting game... My fiance is back in Oz (since last 6 months) and I am here because of work commitments.. He visited me during Christmas (only 2 weeks :-( ) but it's back to 10 hours time difference now.. Just hoping that time goes fast and we are together soon... Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress.. xxx :hug:

    Hi Lilacdreamer... no further documents required for our case.. I guess we had sent everything possible with our application.. CO sent all the originals back to me :biggrin: .. now just have to wait 2 more months and then do the medical... Good luck to you... hope you get your CO soon... xxx :hug:
