Thanks guys ^^ I feel a little better. It is a bit stressful but like you said, just the beginning of the waiting.

On the 4th April hubby sent off his completed Visa application, partner Visa 309 (subclass 100), and we received word via the An Post tracker thing that it arrived in London on the 8th. We are getting a little stressed now though because we haven't heard from them at all, not even an email to say that they have received the application. It had everything in it from both form's to everything they asked for that we could provide. I know that when the Visa is approved you only have so long to arrive in Aust and we were hoping to start preparing for that too. Should we be worried that we haven't heard from them yet?

Coming to the end of gathering documents for hubby's Visa (He is Irish and I am an Aust citizen, 309 subclass 100.) and we are doing all the statutory declarations. We have our own and are fine to do the ones from family and friends here in Ireland but we are struggling with the two needed from Aust. In total my husband has only spent approximately two and a half months in Aust so far and all of that time was spent with family. He did meet an old family friend but we only stayed with her for two days and met her for dinner one time. My mum is doing one of the declarations which is fine and I had asked the family friend to do the other but she doesn't want too (She has trouble with English.) and my only surviving relative other than my mum that I am any way close too is my younger brother who turns 14 in a month. My question is could I get my younger brother to make a stat dec seeing as apart from my mother his is the only person to has spent time with me and hubby as a couple in Aust, or could I include some kind of note to say that I could only provide one declaration from Aust? Thank you.

So hubby, as the Visa applicant, (309/100 partner Visa) wants to get all his medical records which would be good, obviously in Aust when he first goes to a GP. But he wants to bring them when he gets his medical done, is this necessary?

We will, thanks.

Wow, thank you all so much. I am a housewife so I don't have pay slips or anything of an income, hubby is the breadwinner. So far we have almost all of our documents together, such as proof of identities, joint bank account, marriage cert, proof of address, correspondence, we own our dog jointly, things like that. And we do have a small amount of saving to take with us, plus as my mothers carer I will be earning and hubby will be seeking work ASAP.

Hey folks, So I'm and Aust citizen and hubby is Irish, we are in the process of getting the stuff together for his Visa, I will be his sponsor. I have a few general questions, possibly silly ones, but if you don't ask you'll never know right. First we are living in Ireland at the moment and will be staying with my mother when we arrive in Aust, I will be caring for her as she isnt well but I am his sponsor and I am not employed, should this cause problems? Secondly as proof of joint travel I only have some random boarding passes, and itinerary/ticket from out last trip to Aust and I was thinking could we include photocopies of the stamped pages of our passports to show we entered and left at the same time? And lastly about posting off the Visa and documents, can we send originals of old correspondence and cards and does it matter if they aren't dated? Thank you for any help or info. We are close to having everything together to be sent, I guess its just a bit of stress worrying about these things.
