  1. We paid by UK debit card, although the invoice still stated 'credit card surcharge'. Was around 1% of the fee.
  2. Just a standard eVisitor (subclass 651, free via Immi). Valid for a year and you can enter Aus multiple times and stay for up to 3 months, so fine to have a trip to NZ then return, as long as your total stay in Aus doesn't exceed the 3 months.
  3. Probably best to wait before getting the medical done - they usually ask for it around the 6 month mark. Applying on line is easy, you just scan docs in, no need to post off the originals anywhere. Going over on a tourist visa while waiting for the partner visa to be granted is fine - I did exactly that, no problems at all Good luck
  4. Hopefully not, I (ML) was the one who couldn't check the emails each day, i left it up to BC. haha. Just don't loose faith. Its a long road, but it makes it ever more sweeter when you get it.
  5. It was granted today Jen The list of places for the medical is on the Immi website, just search for 'Immigration Panel Physicians', select UK, then select your region. When my time arrived I simply called the one nearest to me to make an appointment, and they link into your Immi account to so it's really quite straightforward Cost was £290.
  6. Hi there. I've seen some other responses but just to let you know my experience: visa submitted online 24th July 2014, auto email received the same day confirming receipt. Email from the CO received 31st July 2014 containing 4 attachments: 1. Intro letter from the CO confirming who she was, that she would be our CO, and dept contact details, 2. an FAQ, 3. a copy of their Client Charter (basically like their privacy policy etc.), and finally 4. confirmation that no further documents were required but that I should book my medical and police check for on or after 24th Jan 2015 (ie 6 months). The emails from the CO came from a 'Family Migration London' email address, so a different one to the auto generated emails. Hope this helps & good luck
  7. Just the way to start the week. VISA GRANTED. 9 months 28 days. Case officer: VF. Got the 309 visa, although we qualify for the provisional 100 visa as we have been living together for over 3 years now, they said because date of application was before, we got the 309. But who cares, WE GOT IT, only means we have to wait another year and 2 months. Whoop whoop. So happy. To all those waiting, good luck and although the wait is long, its worth it in the end.
  8. We applied 2 days before you, still havent hear anything. My documents are now 'Approved' but 'Processing'. Hopefully that means good things coming.
  9. Hi All, Myself and my Partner applied for our Visa 25/07/14. If things keep moving how they are with people getting approved and stuff, we should be getting ours in the next few days. Not getting our hopes up tho, u know how they like to take their time. Anyways once we hear something, when we hear something I will be sure to post and let you know months/days etc. Fingers crossed for all of you waiting. BCML
