I was following that, but not many PMVs on there so wasn't that helpful for me.

Moving 26th July, to Adelaide. What's your plans?

Nope, still waiting. I see you've been granted yours though, congratulations! [emoji16] and you have similar dates to me... fingers crossed I am lucky this week... eeeek...

Any updates?

Hi all,
I do firstly want to apologise if these questions have already been answered, but I couldn't find any specific answers on the internet anywhere.
So, I am currently dating someone from the UK, and I live in Australia.
We were thinking of applying for the 820 partner visa. Now, I have absolutely no idea or very shallow knowledge of what these visas entitle.
Now, me and my boyfriend are currently just dating, but are thinking of getting married next year. Do we have to be engaged for us to apply for the 820 visa or we get married then apply for the visa? And can we apply for it whilst he is here on his tourist visa?
Also, do I need to sponsor him, because I am an Australian born? Because I'm only a student at the moment, and will be a student for the next few years to come, so I don't have any proper income. I study full time.
is it possible for him to sponsor himself?
Thank you in advance!! Every answer is appreciated [emoji3]
 

I just got my PMV grant! [emoji16] Only applied late February. Way faster than I expected.

Hi all,
My partner and I are in the process on applying for his Prospective Marriage visa and there are questions which ask about the financial aspects such as joint bank account, bills etc. 
I was under the impression that the Prospective Marriage visa didn't require as much information as the partner visa as we're not married and expected to have joint finances.
Can anyone please advise me on what kind of information they provided? This section allows for 2000 characters but we don't have much to write in that section.

I don't know if this is useful since it's from last year, but my application took 4 months and 28 days. Now I've got the Partner visa to worry about...
EDIT: Ugh, I was meant to post this in another thread and don't know how to delete it!

Yeah, but dont worry if your not looking to put it up online 

Just wanted to check that's what you were asking before I ramble. 

We met on Facebook 2013 I think, started the relationship June 2014, met in Adelaide on our 1 year anniversary, met in the UK for 2nd anniversary, and he proposed soon after getting home  

What about you guys?

Not necessarily a bad thing lol ! What are your relationship stats ? 

They'd only turn it down if they thought it was not a real relationship or on certain character grounds, but if you have the evidence to proof otherwise then there should not be a problem. 

Haven't heard of any forum regulars to have theirs denied that I know off! Why do you ask? Not yours I hope?

Has anyone had their grant denied?

Thanks for the information. For the Prospective Marriage visa, did you have to supply a certificate of no impediment or a letter to certify that neither of you are married already?

Hello,

Can I please ask how much in pounds your visa cost? I know on the website it says 4400 pounds and Australian dollars it's $6865. But 4400 seems a little off, I think it should be more around 4200. 

Any info would be appreciated.

Mine was £4281.49 and £129.01 non-sterling fees

Yeah thats the same for my partner too, it was like that once the C/O requested for more information! 

Have you uploaded all your medicals and police checks etc?

Yeah, we were already waiting for my medical to get uploaded before the CO asked.
Then we uploaded our police checks a couple days before the day the CO wanted them by, so on 22nd 

My partners drop down side of the application has 'Approved' next to it. Not sure what that means but must be good!? 

Our application changed to 'assessment in progress' on the 22nd. Now the long wait 

Hi guys, I couldn't find any threads specifically about how PMV (300)'s are going. All were 309, 100, 801 and 820. If there is already a thread for this, please let me know

I was wondering how everyone else's applications are going/went to get an idea of the current processing times.

My application;

21st Feb - Application submitted

7th March - Uploaded everything except police checks and medical

8th March - Medical

9th March - CO's first contact requesting medical and police checks

Hoping to have police checks uploaded by 24th March, and press the 'information provided' button.

How's everyone else's going? :cute:

Hmm... should we have waited then? Health assessment required appeared under the Attach Documents part of the home page, so we just clicked on the link, completed the assessment and booked in for the medical.

 

Is that's what supposed to happen? Or does it only appear when the C/O has requested a medical?

I did my medical before I was asked for it. Then the day after I did the medical my CO asked for medical and police checks. Uploaded a week later, so just waiting on police checks coming in post to upload. I applied less than a month ago so pretty sure pre-uploading stuff speeds things up

Yeah so have I but still didnt like the new updated time line on PMV before it was 5 months Low risk and 14 high risk. There isnt too many on PMV here to get a better estimate of approval rates.

Ah, yeah. Fair enough. They should show something like recent time lines instead. That'd be cool

Anyone seen the new processing times? It was updated today.. I dont like the look of them, doesnt give low and high risk anymore just when they have 75% and 90% of global applications.

 

Heres some here ..

 

100 Partner is 15 Months (75%) 23 Months (90%)

300 Prospective Marriage is 12 Months (75%) 17 Months (90%)

309 Partner ( Provisional) is 11 Months (75%) 15 Months (90%)

820 Partner is 18 Months (75%) 20 Months (90%)

I've seen a lot getting granted within 5 months lately?

Well my Hubby has just got back from his medical, the Doctor said everything looked fine but the blood tests will take 24 hours. We don't know what to do, do we push the button to notify the department that all requested documents have been uploaded or do we wait for the health assessment to be no further action? What has everyone else done. We don't know of we push the button it will give the C/O the nod.

I'd wait. Wouldn't want them checking it then messaging you saying it's not there

Really exciting [emoji16] Were just waiting for my medical to upload and police checks go come.

If you lived in Aus for more than 12 months combined i think in the last10 years. Ive spent probably 2.5 years of the last 4 in oz so i hadda get one.
