Nothing's beats the feeling of having your visa granted after a long wait. Congratulations !!

Thanks Andy.

Indeed. With a partner fee that expensive, we better be sure every step of the way. 

Thanks!

Hi guys,

It's been a week since lodging 309, and I still have a couple of questions needing clarification:

1. Is there still a need for a sponsor to download, fill up, and attach form 40sp? What about form 47 sp for applicant, but we noticed that the online form has asked the same questions under a pdf 47 sp.

2. What about a photograph? How did others here scanned and uploaded a photo of the applicant?

Hope someone can help clarify these Qs.

Thanks AKG! That's a relief. Now all that's left to do is WAIT.

Hi,

I hope someone can share their experience about my question.

I've lodged my application a few minutes ago, and I'm aware that details about my parents have been filled in the online form. When I reached the section for attaching evidence, I noticed that my parents' names were placed under recommended items needing documents for evidence. I didn't pay attention to that since as the heading implied IT WASNT a required field. In fact, my payment went through smoothly.

However, after I've made the payment I saw the names of both my parents labelled as applicants right below my own name.

Why are they considered applicants? Did I make an error somewhere?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this.

Hi from my understanding i think you have miss understood the question after seeing your post i read my hubby's application in this question they are asking about "FAMILY UNIT " ( hubby wife & kids ) not IMMEDIATE FAMILY  which includes (parents & siblings).

i am sure you can fix this by clicking on update us and there is an option to fix incorrect answers or contact the embassy  Do it ASAP !! 

Hope this will help 

Thanks a lot Aisha! I've submitted the request for updating my details. Hope the CO will be assigned soon and see the errors I've acknowledged.

Thanks Aisha,

I'm currently correcting it under UPDATE US feature of the website. But I wonder, should I click incorrect ALL other names  including my name because it appears there as well as an applicant ?

or should I just click on the names of my partner's siblings, parent, and niece and leave my partner's name and my name being the APPLICANT and SPONSOR respectively?

Hi everyone,

 Just have a quick question regarding uploading forms for Visa 309. Forms 47sp ( applicant ) and 40 ( sponsor ) should still be scanned and attached?

I realised the questions asked and information needed are the same with the form and online.

Hoping to submit finally the online application tonight before the maintenance scheduled tomorrow.

Whew! What a relief. It's all good then.

Thanks

Hi, I just have a question. I'm eligible for applying as a citizen, and I intend to lodge my application by February 4,2018. My permanent resident visa expires on 25th November 2018. But with the current pace of approvals it seems that visa would run out before my citizenship is conferred. Does that mean I may have to exit OZ after  25th November until my citizenship is approved? 

Thanks for anyone who may be able to share an opinion or advice.

Cheers,
