When you apply for a medical on your visa it asks you a series of questions. I think you declare it there. I am unsure if they contact your doctor or anything like that

????

So if your case officer asked for the medical you must be close to getting your temporary visa then, that would be good! mine will no doubt take ages!
Did you use an agent for it?

Not applied for it yet, will be doing it at the beginning of August [emoji51]. Can't wait to just get it done.
What about you?

Just make sure you'll have evidence for the second stage to reflect that [emoji4] So bookings for hotels you stay at, bank statements to show those months etc. All could come in handy for the PR stage.

We're planning on doing the same, partner is from Melbourne too, I've not read anywhere that we can't, I guess as long as we're contactable, and doesn't sound like they'll need to get hold of us for quite a while anyway!

Why lucky? Because sometimes DIBP decide that when you are in your later years several years of a relationship count for nothing. Had we got married when we were 18 we might have got him a visa, but because we got married late inlife and did not want to upset his UK career without a guarantee of PR in oz, plus most jobs he wanted required PR, DIBP told us to sod off. They also refused to believe that we could have a relationship that did not revolve around posting soppy photos publicly on facebook, and involved us spending time apart persuing our own hobbies and interests, we could not be genuine. Basically they told us that because we did not live in each others pockets, and post our every breath in public, we could not be genuine. 
 
As a result I had to abandon an excellent job ($150,000+) in Queensland and move back to the UK where I now stack shelves and do whatever else I can get. Yes, we are together, but we have more than halved our income and can no longer travel, which was one of our major passions and whch drew us together. I had been in oz for 20 years, we had planned our future to be in oz, travelling round the world from there. I lost thousands of dollars in leaving stuff in oz, giving up our flat lease etc, to say nothing of the money wasted on the visa -we had got to the PR stage and spent a fortune. 
Because my husband was in the UK working on an inmportant contract at the of the refusal we also had no right of appeal.
 
 
 
 

Hey all

New to this.

Currently is process of getting the first part of my partner visa and just wondering if you are allowed to travel whilst in Australia whilst they decide on the permanent part?

I have heard in some cases they ask you to report often and prove things before they give you the go ahead for the perm visa.

Any help is appreciated

I am currently in process of getting (Hopefully!!!) a partner visa. I submitted all docs then got assigned a case officer. She then asked me for other docs such as police checks etc. Already had my medical booked which I had a few days ago. The hospitals are all online but there is only 1 per region.

was just thinking the same when I read this.. why lucky? I had my medical a few days ago so just awaiting those then that's most of it done I think. Did you have to go for an interview Andy?

p.s i'm new to this website aswell!

I definitely think your passport has to match your real name as this is a form of identity.
