where did you hear this, planning to lodge application early July so very concerning?!

why is it concerning? I didn't hear it - as mentioned I went onto the immigration website and chose a date in the future. The cost is the same ie: NO FEE INCREASE

Does anyone know the new fee for the spouse visa? it's now $6865, but heard it's going up as of July 2016 :sad:

Heard the same too. Hwoever, went onto the immigration website and you can select the date when you were lodging the visa for the pricing cost. A week ago it said that the estimator could not give a price for partner visas after 1st July, however, I chose a random date in Aug and it now shows as the same cost as this year's visa.
