Thanks guys, I am so annoyed at myself thinking convicted meant time spend or something more serious and when I think about it now, I cannot believe i was so stupid. I hope this doesn't affect anything or they think I am trying to hide anything, I\ll get the form 1023 in straight away. Thanks guys for your help

Hi Guys, My police checks from the UK came back with a 'no live trace' and i know what it means, my question being, on my application during the 'character' section the only question related to my previous offence was 'Have you ever been convicted of an offence in any country', I have taken convicted to mean sentenced/gone to court etc and ticked no. I think I may have mis understood 'convicted' in this instance and wondered what to do to rectify it, if I need to at all. My offence was drunk and disorderly when I was 18, and i was given a caution, no time spent, no court etc I feel as though this needs to be declared in my application but feel as though ticking yes to convicted is also incorrect. Can anyone help please? Thanks guys Liam

Hi Guys, Have my medical tomorrow so getting there, almost 14 months after submitting application ha! quick, potentially dumb, question. When we submitted our application, we also submitted one for my partner as the 'sponsor' essentially. I am wondering if that was correct as its been a while since reading the booklet, just freaking out that was incorrect. I have uploaded the majority of our evidence under my specific application and really just uploaded basic identification evidence under my partners. Was this correct? Thanks guys

Anyone? This forum is the best at helping! Please help haha

Hey guys, main filling out my form 80, one part has completely confused me and I don't want the reason I get rejected being that I filled out crucial paperwork wrong. if anyone is familiar with question 28, firstly asks am I applying for a temp visa (I select no as its 801/820 while 801 is temp, 820 is permenant). I then get to question 34 am I currently in Australia, i select yes, and it asks type of visa/reason/name used/place of issue/arrival date. Currently on a bridging visa, partner is reason, my name, what would be the place of issue as it was online? Question 35 asks about previous visa (have you been to Aus before) I was on a working holiday visa initially, but it also asks for departure date (I haven't left due to 801/820) so I'm TOTALLY confused. i would really appreciate help on this one as I don't want my stupidity being the reason I'm rejected. thanks guys

Thanks guys, I always feel calmer once I've spoken to people on here ha! : )

Anyone? I'm not above begging haha

snifter, I received a generated e-mail reminding me to upload any evidence that may still need uploading, including police and health checks. I know that isn't contact from a CO, so should i still wait until contacted by a c/o in getting these things or should I get them sorted anyway? 13 months into visa processing time. Thanks

Also, my e-mail wasn't being assigned a CO, it was more a generated 'more information required e-mail', is that a bad sign, that my evidence isn't strong enough? Or just a update that my application is moving along and to make sure everything has been uploaded? sorry, just freaking out a tad ha

Hey guys, So I finally got an e-mail from the department basically instructing me to upload anything I hadn't done, which includes police checks and health checks, so I just had a few questions, if anyone could help, i would be incredibly grateful. Firstly on my initial application I uploaded form 47sp, which I was unaware at the time wasn't required for online submissions, will this be a problem? Secondly my main confusion is with the overseas police checks, I am from the UK and on looking, it mentions I need residential proof of my current address, unsure if I am required to provide that as obviously living in the UK. Just a bit unsure of that. Lastly will the police check be sent to me in Aus or will I need to 'nominate' a family members address for this to be mailed to and then get them to send to me, here in Aus? All getting very real now and i am starting to stress out, as many have experienced and imagined, this moment of the ball really rolling is a scary time. Any help would be so appreciated, everyone on here has been amazing previously Thanks again Liam

you've done a good job explaining, i thought that was the case but haha

Thanks guys for the advice, I think we will upload a few more things, we've got the space and it's more important things like joint health insurance and more financial evidence so I think it can't hurt to add a few more bits! i was thinking I'm still within timeframe so shouldn't be too worried about no CO just yet, just coming up to that year you start to get a bit nervous haha! But thanks again guys!

to dumb this down for people (including me ha) what does this mean?

Thank you so much, thats great to hear, do you think that it may also be a good idea to upload a bit of an update, like important aspects such as financial information etc?

thanks for getting back to me, i am applying onshore, The wait tends to be much longer for some reason.
