    HI, Moving to Melbourne from Vancouver. How much does a couple need to make a year to live comfortably? Rough estimates?

    VISA HA BEEN GRANTED! I applied from Canada but also lived n UK for many years of my life. Had to supply both set of police documents. Took less than 8 months!

    Once the visa is approved, do we have to send our passports away to have a stamp/visa inserted into passport or is the visa send via email?

    I just received an email from high commission and a women wrote to me saying she has begun processing my file and attached document asking for further document(s). I opened it and it only asked for one thing my certified police check. I apparently sent in the wrong one and went to police station and did correct way. It will be with me in 5-7 days and I will upload online. My question is this: 1) does the fact she only asked for one further document likely mean the rest of my documents are in order? 2) how long from here once contact is made and I am notified "I have began considering your visa"? any advice or insight would be much appreciated.

    Does anyone know if an applicant can enter Australia on a working holiday visa while their partner visa is being processed? My partner visa was lodged in Feb and wondering if I can enter on working holiday visa and switch over once it is approved?

    hi! I lodged back in early February 2016. I have been asked to complete medical and police check. Uploaded everything I could and have heard nothing since. All it says is recieved so I'm wondering if this illusion CO will even contact me lol.
  7. Jbassi
    How come some of you guys get CO's while some of us don't? I though UK and Canada would be similar and not have a CO. I don't have a CO just wondering why my UK friends do?

    I am submitting my application in a few weeks. I have attached a 6 page letter outlining exactly all the courses I studied and included the syllabuses and course content of all the classes I studied at law school and PLT here in Canada. Do you think this will help cut down courses when they see everything I have done?
  9. Jbassi
    Thats an absurd amount of exams. With your experience I would think you would be welcomed in with open arms! That is how it would be if you came to Canada. Are certain states easier than others with respect to exams/courses to complete? It seems I am one of the younger more inexperienced applicants on this thread! If you guys are getting 4-7 exams with that much experience, god knows how many I will get assessed! I am applying to practice in the state of Victoria and I am hoping the fact I am a newly qualified barrister & solicitor in Canada will get my a good outcome. Did law school in both the UK and Canada and completed my PLT here. Canada and Australia have such a similar legal system and I am praying the board takes this into consideration. Anyone knows Canadian applicants who did the jump over?

    INSIGHT REQUIRED PLEASE Lodge a visa from Canada on Feb 8, 2016 and was asked to complete medical and police back in April. Have not heard anything since and wondering anyone offer insight on likely next step? Do I have to have a chat with CO on phone? I've been told I am low risk and it should be relatively quick, but I just want to make sure I am not missing anything. Thanks!

    It has been a total of 7 months since I lodged my visa. Since I am low risk, what is the next step? Do I even have a phone chat with the CO or what? I keep hearing that its around 7-8 month mark where one meets a CO but now I am hearing I wont even need that lol.

    Are you based in Pakistan? That's the only reason I would assume you would receive a call from Islamabad. I lodged my visa February 8, 2016 and my partner is Australian. I guess she is also going to receive a call just like you did. Did you lodge your visa January 3, 2016 or March 1, 2016? Sorry in Canada we use different method for xx/xx/xxx lol.
  13. Jbassi
    thats sounds great! Not long now!! I think anyone can get a call to be honest. When did you lodged your visa and how long have you been waiting? I have done my medical/police check and am waiting for the same call your received! hope it comes soon.

    Thanks for the insight guys! It my gf who is worried and I explained its a process and we need to just relax. Do you guys think it would be a issue if I go travelling while I await a decision? My gf and I are planning on going through SE Asia but are holding off just in case the CO needs further documents from us. I hope all of you get your approval quickly an if your in Melbourne lets grab a beer!

    Do applications tend to move quite fast after I meet CO? I lodged my 309 back in February 8, 2016. I have completed my medical and police checks and have no heard anything yet. I am not really worried just curious whether where it goes from here. I should also mention I am applying from Canada and not the UK. I am a Canadian citizen and my partner is Australian. I have friends who did same process and their applications took 7-9 months. Any insight would be awesome! Thanks!
