Hi All,

Just saying hello and joining the thread I've been watching for months now since I applied for a partner visa in May. I am waiting for an RFI to do police checks and medical. Haven't heard anything yet but I continue to upload any relevant documents.

Does anyone know if Sponsor's birth certificate is required or is a scan of the passport and Australian citizenship certificate enough?

Hi . I had RFI for birth certificate so I would just upload.

Hi, you would need two accounts.

We just had one like you, uploaded everything under my (applicant) account but sponsor name all of the sponsor documents.

And in July we had an RFI just for a separate account for a sponsor.

Since then is very quiet, so I feel like it was a big overlook from our side to not have those two accounts from the beginning and extended our wait.

But you live and learn, we created a separate account for my husband now and waiting for any news, hopefully soonish

 

 

Hi thanks for the reply. I just checked with my mum who went through the process around 9 months ago and she said that she did it all under one immi account , she just did a new application . I wonder why they request different things from different people  

I dont have 2 separate accounts both done in one account ... Will this be a problem?? I'm sure my mum did it this way too and was granted her visa but I will have to double check with her

@Butterflies1988 exact same day, I'm hoping it's enough. It's horrible waiting with no word. I rang last week to check dates as I am on a tourist visa and gave to leave come back and they checked my 309 at the time saying I uploaded very quickly and everything in order. I have been at further assessment from may really praying we hear good news. Fingers crossed for you

That's good news I keep debating ringing but then don't. I've only just qualified so it's really hard for me to start applying for jobs and I daren't  till we get the green light so i just feel like everything is on hold ! I just feel like Fridays keep coming and going but I keep waiting for a post from you to say you've had good news as I know your dates are similar

I had a RFI 4 months ago and uploaded the information within 2 days, not a single word from then.

Anyone else on the same time line as me? Hoping this week is the week it's been so slow. 

Yes me . Rfi 25/05 and uploaded fairly quickly now nothing .  Getting really anxious about it all now

Just a quick question ... so I'm the sponser and just did another " sponser " application ( I'm guessing this is the 40sp through the immi account. My husband's has changed to further assesment after the RFI was completed and says last updated 11th June. However the sponser part has just stayed the same and last updated March which was when I did the form .  Is this the same for everyone else or was I meant to create an entirely new account?! .. keep looking for things i could have done wrong to explain the delay even though I'm fully aware you guys are all in the same boat!

Hi my wife was Citizen by decent, we uploaded her uk birth certificate and Australian citizenship cert and all was good for me getting my visa. Good luck.

Oh fab thats really reassuring thank you !! It's just this wait I think I'm starting to doubt everything ... 

Is anyone else just a citizen by decent and applied ?? Getting worried now as all my info - birth cert etc is British but I have citizenship from my mum. I've provided my citizenship  certificate to prove this but I'm my RFI they asked for full Birth cert and passport .. starting to panic now that hubby may not be able to get the visa!!

@ga_brysia great news that you got your RFI! Frustrating that the paper form isn’t acceptable anymore. Was the RFI via email or through the immi account? I keep seeing that everyone checks their account regularly but I only check once a week or so, I thought it would come via email also but maybe not? 

They come via email but it's my husband's email address as he is the applicant

Processing times have gone up today by a month probably due to the lack of any grants this month! I'm sick of logging in to check I feel like it's becoming slightly obsessive! 

Congratulations both! That's amazing news!  Our medicals were uploaded 4/06/19! Feels like so long ago ... hopefully more to come over the rest of the month! ...

Hi all sorry I have been so quiet finally had RFI 6th May for medical. All done and clear by end May case officer is in UK even though agent in Oz, all done now  I believe. So settled down for the long wait. Slowly going mad... But I guess that's  normal judging by the posts. 9 months now so let's hope we all hear soon 

Fingers crossed for the group

Stupid question but how do you know if you have a case officer and where they are ??

Hi@Butterflies1988 , mine was submitted on the 31/1 , and all medical and police checks done all the relevant information required, but we have not heard a single thing yet.
My wife and I are due to go out in September and the kids,but if my 309 doesn't come through I will have to come back after a few weeks,due to work.
I wish you all the best though and fingers crossed yours mine and all the others start to move soon

Thank you! Yes ours was submitted 21st Jan and RFI all submitted by June 11th . It's so frustrating when you don't hear anything for so long ! Where is it your going? Fingers crossed it's before September !!

Hi All

We applied for the 309/100 on 21st January 2019, i had a RFI on 14th May for medical check and husbands birth cert and police certs which they gave me 28 days to upload. The Aussie police check took 6 weeks to reach us in uk! So i was late in uploading on 25th June. I also uploaded my police check at the same time to hopefully save any further RFI's even though it waa not requsted. Current application status is "Further Assessment" Hoping for a grant soon!

You have very similar dates to us and still not heard anything just further assesment .  Fingers crossed it won't be much longer now!!

Thanks for the update...still patiently waiting

I think I also submitted around the same time as yo and patiently waiting.   21st Jan and RFI 24th May. Police and medicals 4th June. X 

Hi .. I am a long time lurker too. We applied for my husband and children's 309/100 on 21st Jan 2019. Had RFI yesterday for police and medicals for all of them .. was holding out as long as possible as I dont qualify until July so wanted to give ourselves more time. The RFI asks for my passport bio page too but I don't yet have  an Aussie passport as my citizenship is by decent... does it need to be or can I use my British one as i don't think i can cope with medicals/police and passport costs within 28 days !!!Thanks

A partner visa application is AUD$7160.  If you add 2 children (both under 18), then it's an additional $1,795 x 2.  So the combined total for 3 people on a partner application is $10,750

If you instead have the children apply under the 101 visa, that's $2,470 x 2.  So a partner application plus 2 101 visas is $7160 + $2470 + $2470 =  $12,100.

So it's cheaper to have the children included as dependents on your husband's 309 application.

Hi , thank you for replying. When i went on to check the cost of the 101 its $2470 plus $£620 for the second child . I guess it works out at  similar price if this is the case anyway! Thanks 

Hi yes i know thanks, thats where i checked it but it gave me different prices if i did the 309 with the children added on and did a 309 and 101 seperately. This is what confused me 

Sorry  for the daft question, this is my first post on here. Has anyone applied for both a 309 and 101 together? Want to get a price for my husband and 2 children as i have my citizenship by decent and my family have all emigrated but confused as when i go on pricing estimatior on the immi site a 309 with 2 under 18s is roughly £6,170. However on the same estimator a 309 is £3939 on its own and if i do 2 x 101s together it is £1390 which is £5329 combined?? Is it cheaper to apply seperate  and is there discount for more than one child or do i have the wrong end of the stick.  Also do you apply for the partner and child visas together with the timescales being so different for processing ?? Or can i apply for the partner then the childrens after 12 months of waiting. Its so mind baffling. Any advice would help- sorry if its a confusing post  And thanks for reading
