Ok thanks alot Katie

One more question... what if we were to get married this year in england? What visa would we apply for if we were wed? Would this speed up the process and be a different visa/cost?

Awesome thanks for all your help

Do I as the sponsor/citizen have to do all the health checks/criminal record checks etc again or just my partner?

Hi All

I am an Australian citizen (Dual with UK) currently living in the UK, my de-facto partner is also a UK citizen and we are living in the UK at the moment.  My partner has done 2 years in Australia a few years back on working holiday visas but we decided to return to the UK for a little while due to her visa running out and also to spend a year or so with family etc

What would be the best partner visa to apply for whilst not currently residing in Australia or the best option to enable us to move back to the UK the quickest.

Any info much appreciated, I am looking for:

-Visa options?

-Rough costs?

-Timelines?

Visa granted today, absolutely over the moon

Applied 17th October

Resubmitted docs 16th March

Granted 16th April

I got requested more docs this morning, certified copies of my criminal record checks from UK + Australia, as I hadn't certified them

Sent them off, and fingers crossed I will hear something back soon

Visa application 17th October

141 days since Application...

 

Gotta be soon.

I'm the same man, just gotta keep waiting I guess

So I emailed today and got a reply saying that my visa application has been allocated to Team 4, the case officer will contact you if

further information is required to assess the application

Hope I hear something soon :chatterbox:

I got this response on the 23rd of February, does anyone know if it is still saying September or has this been changed to October yet?

We are currently allocating ENS and RSMS applications that were lodged in September 2014

Quick google and I believe from the results its possibly Adelaide

Why will you have to re-submit a police check? Because its over 12 months old?

I lodged mine on the 17th October, praying I hear something soon

Anyone had any visa grants today?

Question, my certified copy of my passport I sent to immi is over a year old, does anyone know how recent the certified copy must be?

OMG.....Submitted all required Documents Before 3 weeks ago still No Further Contact ..i dont know How They Work?

When did you lodge your visa application?

Just be patient mate, I applied 17th October, will let you know if I hear anything

Crossing fingers!

Anyone got approvals today?
