    My husband arrived in Australia last year on the prospective marriage visa and we got married in January. Now we have applied for the partner visa, and I'm currently doing the sponsorship application.

    Hello all, I am currently filling out the Partner Visa (subclass 820/801) sponsor application. I am a bit confused with the question "Has this sponsor previously sponsored/nominated a spouse, de facto, prospective spouse or interdependent partner?". I previously sponsored my husband's Prospective Marriage Visa (subclass 300), however, my interpretation is that the above question is asking about any other person I may have sponsored other than my husband who was my fiance at the time. I'm interested to know what other people, that are applied for the partner visa from the prospective marriage visa, chose as their answers. Kind regards.

    Hello, Just make sure that you include everything that they ask for in the document checklist. You could even start scanning your documents onto your computer now, as it's a very long process, so that they are ready to be uploaded after you apply. All the best.

    My fiance was granted his visa (PMV 300). The whole process took 2 months, here are the stats: Applied: 01/06/17 Asked for medical and sponsor police checks: 12/07/17 Medicals and police checks provided: 24/07/17 Visa granted: 31/07/17.

    Hi all, My fiance completed his medical check today and wants to know when he should click the 'information provided' button. Does he need to click it straight away or wait until the medical results have been forwarded to DIBP?

    Congrats on getting your visa, that was a fast turnaround. For your partner's Australian Federal Police check, did they apply online or post their application via mail? My fiance received an email requesting that I do a police check and it says 'your sponsor will need to send their completed application to the AFP at the address on the form'. I would like to do it online as there is an option to do so.

    Thanks for the link.

    My fiance applied for the prospective marriage visa and has been asked to provide further evidence. As his sponsor, I need to provide a police check for every country that I've lived in for the past 10 years. I lived in the UK for a few years and am back in Australia now. Can someone please tell me where I can get a police check for the UK?

    Thanks for sharing. When you applied in March, were the processing times still at 5 months or was it up at 11 months?

    Thanks for sharing, that's a really fast turnaround time!

    Hello all, My British fiance applied for his Prospective Marriage visa on 01/06/2017. I wanted to start a new thread specifically for the Prospective Marriage visa subclass 300, where others can share their timelines if they like. The current processing times are as follows: 75% of applications processed in 11 months 90% of applications processed in 16 months Please feel free to share your timelines.

    Thanks Ozzie.

    Thank you for your response. I did end up ringing immigration twice yesterday and was told both times that it didn't matter if our boy was independent or not, we needed to provide it, which totally contradicts the document checklist in the partner booklet which states that it is only for dependent children.

    Thanks for your reply. I remember looking at the sponsorship forms a few years ago and they did ask about income, employment, and the type of dwelling you lived in (number of bedrooms, etc.) so that's why I was confused.

    I'm in the process of attaching documents to my sponsorship application for my fiance's Prospective Marriage visa and it doesn't ask for any evidence pertaining to my source of income. I am currently a full-time student so I had planned to upload an income statement from Centrelink. Other documents I have provided include my birth certificate, passport, passport photos, medicare card, personal statement, photo of applicant, and evidence of my address (phone bill). Can anyone please tell me what documents they provided as a sponsor? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your response. I did end up ringing immigration and was told we would need form 47a as it states that the form must be 'completed for each member of the family unit aged 18 years or over whether migrating or not'. But when uploading our documents to the application, there is no mention of form 47a in the menu and the only section that I see where it could be uploaded is under is 'evidence of dependency'. However, we're not trying to provide evidence of dependency as our boy is independent.

    Hoping someone here who has had experience with form 47a could help. My partner is applying for a prospective marriage visa and he has a son who is in his mid twenties and independent. Does he need to fill out form 47a? On the form it says 'Details of child or other dependent family member aged 18 years or over' and further down it reads 'This form must be completed for each member of the family unit aged 18 years or over whether migrating or not'. The way I read it is that it's only if the child over 18 is dependent, but then I get confused because it says it must be completed by each family unit member over 18, whether they're migrating or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the confirmation.

    It was my understanding that it was only the form 888 which required a witness as it is a statutory declaration.
  20. appletwist
    My partner and I are in the process of writing our own statements and we were going to type them and then hand sign before scanning and attaching to the application. Do they have to be witnessed/certified or is that only for form 888?
  21. appletwist
    RESOLVED

    I've just noticed that the Prospective Marriage visa page has been updated and under 'follow these steps', it gives you a list of required documents. It's different to the previous checklist as it now includes form 80. Does anyone know if we now have to provide form 80 for the PMV or is it only when they request it? I'm getting so confused as we thought we had everything we needed and now we find out about form 80.
  23. appletwist
    Could someone please tell me who can certify/witness form 888 in Scotland?

    Thanks EllieJV, that's a great idea to mention future financial plans.

    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.
