Yes I was the same checking 3 times a day haha. Yes i know its so stressful. We had decided that we would go in November this year but when it came through so quickly we just thought why wait.
-
Can't help you regarding the 'assessment is process' ours went straight from submitted to finalized. Oh perfect regarding the accommodation. What part of Australia are you moving to?
-
Wow visas are getting processed / looked at very quick hope you get an answer soon. My Husband resigned last Friday ( has to give 3 months notice) but things are getting real now. Still debating weather or not to do some traveling first before we land with his family in Tas and then look for jobs in Melbourne. especially as it will be their winter in June when we will be looking to leave the UK.

I guess ill just have to apply for the permanent after the 2 years is up. We have been together since 2014 but there was a period of separation for 3 months in that.

Thanks Matt that would be great. We have kind of borrowed / acquired a lot of our current furniture in anticipation of the move and my partner has basically a full kitchen in terms of appliances and cutlery store at his dads house as he never sold it them when he moves here. I think we will only need 1 maybe 2 pallets.
-
Thats interesting you got your 100 on the same day. Can i ask if that came on a separate email or on the same one as your 309? As far as i can tel from reading what i got they have only granted me the 309 How long have you been in your relationship?
-
Another question regarding this topic does anyone have any suggestions on what shipping company to use. We will only have 1 - 2 standard pallets to send mainly containing clothing and electrical items, we have decided not to take things like sofa or bed.

You assume correct. Both police checks, medical, Bank statements with highlighted transactions, joint travel docs, marriage cert, cards, etc We did provide a lot of information.

Sure I (applicant) am a UK citizen born and bread. My partner is an Australian Citizen born and bread. Both 28 Been together since 2014 when we met in Australia (I was on working holiday) When my working holiday ended he came back to the UK with me as my 457 sponsorship visa was only a 50/50 chance of being approved. Lived together in the UK since March 15 got married (Civil partnership) October 2016 Applied for 309 / 100 28th Jan 18 Approved 21st Feb 18 I got no email / notification of a case officer, the application didn't change from the day it was submitted until it was approved. I got a confirmation email saying the visa had been granted and the status on the IMMI account changed to 'Finalized' Anymore questions fire away, i'm Happy to answer.

MY VISA GOT GRANTED TODAY!!!!! Applied 28th Jan 2018 Its taken less than 4 weeks!!! OMG so exited !!!

I don't know. seems 50/50 as to weather people are doing them before they are asked or waiting until they are requested for. I did my medical and police checks before reading anything on the forums I may have waited if I had read here first, although saying that after reading on here the UK applications seem to be processed before 12 months so the medicals and police checks shouldn't expire but i suppose you cant really bank on that. Although i'm hoping they are!

I used seek and found a job in Melbourne in around 2 weeks (That was in June though) My friend who i was traveling with found a job in 1 day. He is a mechanic and walked into all the garages handing out his CV and one (Mazda) called him back for an interview and offered him a job that day. I think it depends what you want to do, what qualifications you have and what part of the country you are in.
-
Was meaning the OP's I sent my medical and both police checks off the week after i submitted so they wouldn't need to ask me for those anyway.
-
Out of curiosity it would be interesting to know your situation. We applied at the end of Jan 18. Aussie / UK Civil partnership applying from the UK been together over 3 years and not herd anything. Although no news could be good news as they may not require any additional information.
-
Another question i have regarding the visa (didn't think it was worth a new thread) On the Immi website when I log on and go to the 'My applications summary' page. My application is down as 'Received' in bold letters. Whereas my partners (who is the sponsor) his part of the application still says 'Submitted' again in bold letters. I am wondering if this is right or have we not properly sent part of the application. Probably nothing to worry about but its bugging me and trying to make sure everything is perfect.
-
Great to know that the recent applications are still moving quite quickly. We submitted on the 28th Jan :-)
-
A VERY Risky option but i know a lot of people who have done it (i was offered it myself but due to the risk i decided to wait and go down the partner route as that was a more secure option). She could get a working holiday visa for 12 months, find work while she is over there and try to get sponsorship on a 457 to stay on. Like is said very risky and would defiantly NOT be a preferred option but it is an option that I know can work out if the person involved wants it enough.
-
Know of a very similar story to this. Family of 4 and the father was sponsored on a 457 to move out there, at the time the kids were under 18. The sponsorship came up for renewal / change of company and because at this point the kids were over 18 and working (all be it in not great jobs) they couldn't get a visa. Out of interest what work was the 18 YO doing?

HSBC in Australia is unfortunately a totally different banking system to the UK. You can't even go into HSBC in Australia and ask them to look at your UK account as they will tell you the system is different. They charge you a fortune (just like all the other banks) to transfer £ to $ or vice versa. The only thing they will do for you is if you loose a card you can call your UK bank and they will send a new card to a HSBC Australia branch if you don't have a permanent postal address which could be handy. My advice would be to open a commonwealth bank account (as they are very easy to do and don't charge anything) and then use someone like transfer wise.

Thanks Sniffer I was meaning the Validate date. And we did pre load the medical and police checks with the application so will see.
-
Thanks Ozzie for your reply. Out of interest what was your latest arrival date on your visa and how long was that from the approval date? I have done some reading on here and from what i can gather it is linked to your police and medical checks would that be correct ?
-
Thank you Nemesis for your response (Had to log in via twitter as there was a problem with my email) You have also answered my next question of how accurate are the waiting time estimates are. I nearly fell over when i saw your last sentence of 3 - 5 months but not getting carried away i know it can take a lot longer than that.
