  2. I assume you would still have to leave for your partner visa (in my case PMV 300) to be granted? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
  3. Melbourne is awesome! I worked and lived in Melbourne for almost 2 years mostly in the eastern suburbs and have been back 2 since. Like a few have said here dandenong is a really nice drive up and sweet views. I love the woods out there and the yarra valley. ( Hopefully moving middle of the year) Im a biker too, check out lysterfield in the eastern suburbs, The yew yangs in the north out of the city and then theres Buller to the east about 2.5hrs away.

  4. I was sitting watching the Rugby at the time. But not really expecting those prices. No need for it really, I could easy go to my own and get it done for much lower price if not FOC. But like you said.. Needs Must Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

  9. One month down since submitted hopefully only 4 or so to go :jiggy:
  10. On this point does anyone know how long it takes to get a Victoria Police check through? I was on a WHV for 2 years in oz from 13' to 15' and wondering would I be safer to request a police check now ? Its one month today from we submitted our PMV Visa, would it be a good idea? even if i dont front load it until asked? k
  11. We submitted our PMV Visa on the 9th of January. Really hoping for the 5 month turn around!! What other visas have you folk submitted
  12. Anyone that has filled out the PMV application or currently doing it, that has any tips on writing out the statments for the section on Financial aspects, Nature of the household, Social aspects, Nature of your commitment, and Development of your relationship. Im terrible at writing things, reminds me too much of English GCSE. Any help appreciated

    Agents

    I lived in Ormeau for a few months, real nice little place and nice area. Really close to the highway to get to GC and Brisbane. Im from NI too and the ones I stay with are also from NI !
  14. Id like to know what sort of price mark people pay for agent services ? I was quoted 1800 today for our application, which I think is absurd if I'm honest, the whole process is expensive enough without a fee like that IMO.
  15. Thanks, got in contact with them and having an over the phone consultation tomorrow night.
  16. Thats what im afraid of doing. Its a lot of money! But worth it. What migration agent or agency did you use? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
  17. I knew that you can get defacto without living together if you have compelling circumstances but it is very hard to prove it seems. Howd you find putting together the application? Such as the written statements for your relationship? Any tips for that? Thanks Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
  18. Hi, Could you point me in the direction of one that youd recommend please? Thanks for the advice Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
  19. Thanks for the replies. From what we can gather we actually have enough ground to prove a defacto relationship but id needa run this past an agent. IMO i reckon PMV is our best route. Although it is annoying that the lead time for approval is anything from 5-14 mnths and then once granted you've less than 9 months to use it. Would seem that agents on here are good enough to cover most peoples questions without the need for an agency but what ones have people used before? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
  20. Hi, What are folks experiences with either going down the De-Facto route or going down the PMV route. My Gf and I aren't entirely sure what would be best for us. Background Info :- Im from NI and my Gf is from Melbourne. We've been together roughly 2.5 years of which the first year of I lived in oz , then few months later she came over to NI for 6 weeks and then another few months after that I went back to oz for 3 months and just back from another month in oz, she will be coming over again for about 6-8 weeks at Christmas time. My gf had been contacted by some migration firm in Sydney which said that the PMV may not be exactly the best route for us. They told her to register our relationship with the Victorian BDM. When I next go over on a tourist visa we should apply onshore for the De-Facto visa and Ill be given a bridging visa which I can work on. The De-facto should then take about 4 months after that. It just seems a bit odd of a way to get to the De-Facto visa. Any help is appreciated.
  21. Hi, Im from NI and my Gf is from Melbourne. We've been together roughly 2.5 years of which the first year of I lived in oz , then few months later she came over to NI for 6 weeks and then another few months after that I went back to oz for 3 months and just back from another month in oz, she will be coming over again for about 6-8 weeks at christmas time. Question I have is would it be better for us to go down the PMV route which can take anything from a few months to over a year which isnt ideal for planning purposes or do we chose the De-Facto route which is quicker but possibly harder? I know for the De-Facto we do not have to have lived together for a year because I have not lived in oz for a duration of our relationship but is it harder to prove that it is a genuine relationship. We have also been told to register our relationship with the Victorian BDM which we are currently doing. Thanks for any advice.
