If they do get the new quota in July (and hence issue loads then) it'll be because the financial year in Australia runs 1st July to 30th June xx
-
When it's been witnessed (because it does need to be as well as being included in the application) then upload it to show different areas of the application such as financial status or living arrangements etc. we uploaded ours something like 4 or 5 times each and it must have been ok because my bf ended up getting subclass 100 xx

Of course you can Jen44...pm me your email address and I'll send it over xx

We applied for my bf's visa in May last year (when it was an 8-9 month waiting period) and did the medical and police checks within a month of submitting the application so you can do them all at the start then just upload all the other documents you think your CO might need then too...if they want anything else they'll let you know (we were asked for more financial records going all the way back to 2012) either when they do their initial contact email to you, or further down the line after that. In terms of the deadline, it's usually around the time that the medical or police certificate runs out depending on which is dated the latest. I say usually tho because in my bf's case he has until 3rd September to arrive in Australia but his medical was done at the end of May 2014 and his police certificate was done in early June 2014, so it is also down to the CO's own discretion/your specific situation. In terms of putting your house up for sale, I'd say contact an estate agent in your area to see how long houses around you take on average to sell, then you can take it from there. Also see if you can put a clause in the contract that the house isn't available until you have your visa? It's a long shot to do that of course, and indeed some home buyers may be put off by it, but the rate at which UK solicitors and surveyors go at I think you'd be ok to put something like that into the contract lol Anything else you want to know, just ask...it's what we're all here for; to help and advise each other [emoji2] Also I have a word document template that I did for when me and my bf did our stat decs about our relationship that I can send you if you want? If you do want it then just drop me a pm with your email address and I'll get it sent straight over to you xx
-
Congrats! We got the subclass 100 too (back in February) and fly out 24th August...we'll also be going to country Victoria [emoji2] xx
-
Probably because it used to be when i went out to Australia with my parents back in the late 90s
-
I heard the sponsor had to go also and had to enter the country first...if it's changed tho then great xx
-
They might not need to, but to ensure the CO was happy with all our ID, we got ours certified anyway xx
-
Oh and regarding the online application also; try to get it front loaded where possible with everything you think they may want to prove your relationship. Photos are easy to do, documents like phone bills etc; not so much. Oh and find a solicitor who will witness your documents also; makes it easier to upload them without any further questions as to your identity from your CO.
-
We didn't upload any photos at all, other than the official ones requested for the application. They seemed to be more interested in things like bank statements, phone bills and proofs of holidays together (email any companies you've been on holiday through, explain that you need proof for your visa application and they'll send you a letter/invoice confirming it); basically the general nitty gritty of the relationship. If you attach things like photos then they'll just get annoyed with you Oh and make sure your statutory declarations include EVERYTHING that relates to your relationship...if you want I can email you a template I made up based on the statutory declarations me and my bf did?
-
Yes it does depend upon the CO...me and my bf have been together over 7 years now and we still thought we'd get a 309 but nope, straight to 100
-
We did one stat dec each and then once it was witnessed by a solicitor we uploaded it to each of the different sections of the application it related to...about 7 or 8 in total. If you want I can find the template I did and email it to you? It also only cost us about a fiver to get ours certified...but then we did use a solicitor in Derbyshire which is markedly cheaper than one down in London lol Oh and as for stat decs from other people...two aussie citizens is all we had and my bf got granted subclass 100 straight away [emoji2] xx
-
It means you've put everything on the application that they could possibly ask for, including the medicals and police certificates xx
-
Thanks [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2] i know so excitings!!!!! We fly out 24th August to Melbourne with Etihad as it was the cheapest airline lolol they do 30kg each plus hand luggage and then a handbag etc also xx
-
Thanks [emoji2] no we did it all ourselves...waaay easier than the migration agents make it out to be lol we just put everything possible they might want to prove our relationship and got all documents that needed certifying done by a solicitor that only charged us £15 for the privilege...and even then that was cash in hand lol. We applied 10th May and so it took 9 months 2 days in all. When did you apply? xx
-
Congratulations on the pregnancy! speaking of which yes you will...as a lot of airlines won't let you fly past the 5 month mark without a doctor's letter xx
-
