Online 
When lahore airport scan your passport and enter destination as australia.  Australian system confirms whether you have visa or not.
Like vevo check on computer. 
 
*****Just my thought *****
 

Absolutely nothing... but its good to keep the print out of the grant notification letter with you,just to be on safe side.
in my case no one asked for anything except for the passport, on either the airports( lahore airport and sydney airport) 

Anyone who has travelled can you give me any tips.
I.e what documents or requirements I need to fulfil or anything that helps while travelling on grant. Do I have to only print the email with me or anything else.

Congratulations, please if u could share me ur interview questions 

Thanks,

It was a very easy interview. As you all know that this application is all about knowing that two people are in a genuine and continuing relationship so the question they ask is something like

1. Tell about yourself
2. Tell about your partner
3. Tell about your children (if any)
4. How and Where you meet
5. Why you two get married
6. Where you partner lived
7. What you do for living
8. What your partner do for living
9. What are partner hobbies 
etc etc

Interview lasted for about 30min and they record and type your interview as you say. If you don't remember anything don't worry just say you don't remember.

They pick anything out of your answer and create another question to check how good you know each other and how accurate, current and real information you have to judge wether your relationship is genuine. 

So anyone who is in genuine relationship should not worry about this interview. It will be really easy for you to answer. 

Best of luck to all.

Alright guys, here is my timeline:

17 Dec 2017 - lodged

18 Jul 2018 - generic email

04 Oct 2018 - interview

04 Oct 2018 - grant

Many Congratulations  It's so relaxing to know more and more people getting grant. Please do pray for all of us too... Any tips regarding interview?

so they called first for an interview and visa grant again??

but have you got the case officer or any other correspondence so far? let alone acknowledgement/generic email?

There are few including myself applied in December waiting for interview call. Is there anyone who applied before December 2017 and still waiting?

I submitted in December 2017 and I am also expecting some communication from them but nothing yet.

I emailed them asking where my application stands and the reply was “You application is way under average global timing of 13-16 months so someone will contact if required”

anyone else got any email/interview or anything? How many submitted before December 2017 and still waiting?

I've actually received this email last week as I asked them what's going on so I would like to share if anyone have received the same email and let me know if I'm still have a long time to wait thankyou

Are you lodging from Pakistan?

Yes, I lodged my application online last year on 26th December 2017

Is it possible that you lodge your application in June 2017 and haven't had any interviews or anything yet? It has been 15 month and I'm so frustrated [emoji28]

Where does everyone get their statutory declarations and 888 forms wittnessed? In Islamabad.

@Pakaus

To my understanding Form 888 and Statutory Declarations are Australian documents and both should be provided by Australian citizens such as

You need 2 Form 888 signed by people living in Australia who knows both the partners

You need statements from sponsor on Statutory Declaration

Who can witness above documents are already mentioned on cover letter of each document.

Statements from relatives and friend living in Pakistan can be provided affidavit form or plain paper attested by oath commissioner

Any way what documents you are looking to get witnesses?

Upload any evidence that you might have including: bank statements, signed contracts, invoices/receipts for the work done, letter from one (or more) of your recent customers about the work you did for them, etc.

At the end of the day, the applicant's financial details don't matter too much - it's the sponsor who needs to show evidence of capacity to support their newly arrived spouse.

Thanks 

Another question if anyone can guide me.

I am a self employed and work as freelancer and do web development. I don’t work on any online platform instead I get business on referrals and being in Pakistan most of the payments comes as cash. When it comes to proof of Job and Pay Slips etc what should I submit?

If they have asked for it just upload it to sponser and applicant’s accounts. I had submitted both 40/47Sp. Form 40 should be uploaded to sponser’s accound and 47SP TO THE APPLICANT’s account. But you can upload them to both account it wont hurt. 

The email I received doesn't asking for Form 40SP but when I login in my IMMI account it is showing option to upload Form 40SP. 

@SZIK You suggestion make sense, however should I fill the form all over again? or just download my application and upload it?

We were asked for a form 40 sp two weeks ago and our application was done online. 

So did you fill the form separately or just downloaded after filling online and submitted again?
