Good luck Lever40! It's all coming together! Our container left yesterday and we fly out tomorrow morning! Good luck with the move & maybe see you in Melbourne with Bethany too! ?

Oh wow! That's fantastic news! Huge congrats. I can't believe that your CO rang to ask you - that's got to be a first?!

Partner visa - long marriage - how much evidence to include?
TinaK replied to CharleyOz's topic in Family / Partner Visas
I downloaded our relationship history into a PDF and then uploaded it as one document - it was 82 pages long! I decided to include that as I felt I was light on evidence under the social evidence category (only really had the statements from friends and a couple of invites) and didn't want to have to plough through my photo stash. The Facebook history covered all our major relationship milestones, so it felt like it killed quite a few birds with one stone! I definitely didn't include evidence from every month, just a couple from the start of our relationship, some from middle and then recent examples. Felt that should cover it off. Good luck with the rest of the evidence gathering, sounds like you're almost there! -
Partner visa - long marriage - how much evidence to include?
TinaK replied to CharleyOz's topic in Family / Partner Visas
My husband and I have been together 9 years and I've recently had my partner visa (100) granted - I took the approach of including some items from various points during that 9 years. So before we bought our house, we rented a property together so I dug out some old bills and a lease which I'd hung onto for some reason. I also uploaded some old bank statements from different points and anything else that I could dig out which I thought might be useful. I didn't add any photos aside from those that were on a download of our Facebook relationship history as that went back the whole 9 years and covered off engagement, wedding, birth of kids and us attending joint social engagements etc. -
Great news, really pleased for you! I think you were in the latter stages of your application when I joined this thread, so great to hear that it has all come together for you now. Good luck with the new chapter!

Thanks Jen! Wow, sounds like a great way to celebrate. I turn 40 3 days before we fly out to Melbourne but I'm not doing anything nearly so exotic, in fact I'm likely to waving off the container on my actual birthday!! Hubby has promised to take me to the whitsundays once we're settled to make up for it ? Good luck for the move and with the new job too. All of us that are heading to Melbourne should do a meet up once we're there!

Hi guys - another update from me...... I've just received my grant!! 309 & 100 granted simultaneously! So all up took just under 3 months - applied 5 Feb and granted today 2 May. Phew....now onto the packing, we fly in 9.5 weeks! @Beffers - you're next!

Hi there. Are you applying offshore? There is another thread which has a lot of info on it from people who have applied for partner visas offshore. Most people have their stats in their signatures so you can see how other people's applications are tracking. I can't remember the thread name but it starts 'Summary...and says add your stats'. There are are a few of us on that thread with a similar timeline to yours by the looks of it, all applied Jan/Feb and have had contact from COs to request further info and/or medical and police checks etc. The name on the email you've received will be the name of the case officer managing your application. I've had a couple of emails from mine now and it's the same name each time. Good of luck with your application, keep us posted on how it goes!

Another update from me - submitted all the police checks today and my medical was approved overnight so I hit the 'information requested' button this afternoon. Now the wait starts again.... @Beffers - how funny that we both did it almost on the same day!! They'd better grant us at the same time ?

Quick update from me - did my medical today & my UK police checks and hubby's AFP checks both also arrived today. Just his UK ones to arrive now and medical results to be processed and I can hit the button! Hoping I can do that mid next week.
