<p><p>hi peach, thank you for replying to my concern about my husband's convictions. May i ask how long your partner visa took? And what year did you apply for it? thanks</p></p>

<p><p>[PART3] But when his UK police clearance came i made sure all crimes were listed on his FORM 80 including the drink driving. Now another thing of concern (which CaptainC and a few other people are saying that are more serious) is the fact my husband didn't declare his previous convictions in his First and Second Holiday Visa application in October 2013 and October 2014. The migration agent that helped him out to process his WHV application said his convictions are not serious and do not need to be declared. This is an honest mistake on my husband's part and I am just really hoping we could rectify it. We will be willing to withdraw our visa application and start from scratch because we don't want to be banned from Australia as we have friends and family there. Please advice. We will be grateful for your help and it will be duly compensated. Thank you.</p></p>

<p><p>[PART2] Til now no real update from the case officers on our visa application. My husband called DIBP once, and I email once and all they replied was it is undergoing processing if we need more documents we will let you know. Now I am panicking what is causing the delay. Some people have pointed out that my husbands convictions that are causing the additional scrutiny in our application. He had convictions/reprimands/cautions/warning for battery, damage to property, sending false massage that caused anxiety and drink driving in his early 20's. I have declared the battery and damage to property in the online visa application, and listed all convictions in his FORM 80. When I was filling out the online visa application my husband's UK police clearance hasn't come through so I listed only the crimes he told me which were battery and damage to property. I didn't declare his drink driving because i thought traffic convictions are not serious offence.</p></p>

<p><p>[PART1] Hi Russell, you have been recommended by CaptainC from PomsinOz.com. I was wondering if you could help me out on this. I got an Invitation to apply for a Skilled Independent Visa 189 last June 2015. Occupation is Materials Engineer 233112. I applied last August 17 with my husband as my secondary applicant. I am a Philippine passport holder while my husband is a British Citizen. We have uploaded my Engineers Australia Accreditation, IELTS (band 8 in all), degree certificate, transcripts, resume and other documents of proof of relationship. I also filled out Form 80 and Form 1221 for myself. I submitted a Filipino and Australian police clearance while my husband submitted an Australian and UK police clearance. On October 2, our case officer asked for medical, Form 80 and Form 1221 for my husband. These documents have been submitted on October 22. I am currently in the Philippines while my husband is in Australia on a bridging visa working to support the both of us.</p></p>
