Timeline on 309/100 via applied for in London
moominfillyjonk replied to Nadine1's topic in Family / Partner Visas
Have faith! I wrote this to you and then went for a run, thinking that's it I am going to apply for the tourist visa when I get home and.... I just had an email to say both 100/309 have been granted! They must be hard at work processing again, they really must!!- 3,663 replies

Whoa congrats @ptb88! Do you mind me asking which agent you used and if it cost a lot to get them to follow up for you? Please message me if you prefer. We’ve been waiting since July 2019- 3,663 replies

@Almat - on the exemption application do you have to provide evidence of flight boking or airline tickets? We are now looking to go out in February 2020 even if my 100 partner doesn't come through on a 600 and exemption. I am reluctant though to book flights now as have heard and read about lots being cancelled, might do this in December or January and hopefully things have improved a bit by then. Remind me how long your 600 took to be granted and how long your exemption took to be approved. If it takes 3 months then I am going to def start looking into this in the next few weeks. Congrats on your visa coming through! Also has anyone had any expierience with the health check. I had mine done prob way too eagerly in September 2019, no visa approved yet and now wondering if I will have to have another one!- 3,663 replies

Hi - can I ask what bridging visa are you going to apply for? I can't see one that applies for anyone who applied for an offshore partner visa or does it 'attach' to your 600? Thanks!- 3,663 replies

I emailed the London office and they said they are still processing but at very reduced capacity. I randomly came across this piece of information which shows they are processing but at dramatically lower rates pre-COVID. Also does anyone know when you apply for the offshore visa you can't apply for a bridging visa to work in Australia can you? I've mentioned this to a couple of people (who have Australian partners), that we might end up having to go over on a visitor visa but it means I won't be able to work and they keep saying why don't you just apply for a bridging visa? And I say you can't do that on the offshore one, and they say I'm sure you can! Now I am self-doubting- 3,663 replies

Hi - I can't comment on 1 or 2. We applied last year and had an RFI in March and nothing since either, just sat waiting! We are deliberating just going out with me on a 600. We thought potentially I could keep working remotely for my UK job! I had a google and it looks like you need to get confirmaiton of a few things. First you have to check with the company you work for if they are happy for you to do that. I read that at some point when does your 'holiday' not become a holiday and you are actually working from another country, and as a results there come be some tax implications to watch out for - you could end up paying tax in the UK and Australia. By no means an expert this is just something I read! I work for a university and there are staff working abroad atm but this is like 2-3 months max and obv weird times. Basically I'd speak to the company he works for and do some other research. Good luck.- 3,663 replies

Hi! Can I ask do you plan and hope to work in Australia? We were hoping we could be out there in January next year but no sign of visa being approved yet. We are reluctant to make the move without any hope of me being able to work as my husband is a freelancer and so it would take him time to set up his business back in Oz (he is Australian). We're now thinking do we just do what you are doing, apply for an exemption and go out on the visitor visa, and hope the visa comes through soon so I wouldn't be without a job too long. Does anyone know if once you're in Australia as a visitor, will they look at your 309 offshore application and let you know they are about to process it? I read on another thread that at the moment if you're onshore and your visa is offshore, they wont even bother - again this is just on a thread so no conclusive evidence!! It's so hard to know what to do.- 3,663 replies

Entering before 309 visa granted
moominfillyjonk replied to Cowact's topic in Family / Partner Visas
My question was based purely on from reading many of the threads of people applying for the exemption but instead of putting a 600 visa down they are putting the 309 down in the hope that it makes immi look at and approve the 309 sooner, it seems regardless of whether they are travelling soon or not. Some people have reported they applied for the exemption, put down the 309 and the visa was then approved. If the 309 got approved you'd probably then be ready to book some flights and make the move and make use of the exemption. Everyone's circumstances and reasons for doing things are different.- 31 replies

Entering before 309 visa granted
moominfillyjonk replied to Cowact's topic in Family / Partner Visas
@lepea - did applying for the exemption do anything to trigger them to look at your 309 visa? Also when you apply for the exemption do you have to provide any evidence of your flights/travel? Just wondering if you can apply for the exemption but have no intention of travelling on the hope they look at my 309 application?! Thanks- 31 replies

@GRS that is super helpful thank you! So if we wanted to visit Australia for longer than 3 months whilst waiting for 309 approval we could go for that. I see now why some are suggesting to apply for it in case it helps push the 309 through, but obv never any guarantees!! Does anyone know if we did travel to Australia before the 309 is approved do you have to notify someone you’ll be onshore? And then do they let you know you need to get out of Australia if the approval was going to happen? thanks all- 3,663 replies

Hi All Can someone clarify what an exemption is please, and the '600'? I've been getting notifications for this thread and just caught snippets! My husband is Australian - we live in the UK. We've been together since 2011, married since 2015. We paid for our visa application (offshore 309/100) in July 2019 - we were quite slow at uploading all the info, but wanted to get it paid for and in the system. End of Feb we had an RFI, which we submitted. Now we haven't heard anything since. We did it ourselves and did not use an agent. We hope to move out to Melbourne in September/October this year, but with the virus and not hearing about my visa we are on the slow - we need to sell our house etc in London. Im just curious what the exemption and 600 is? Is it a way of getting out to Australia before the 309/100 is approved (hopefully it will be!)? And if it is, can you work out there on it? Is it for UK citizens? @Shaggylom @Aussie20 Is there a way to transfer the 309/100 offshore, to an onshore one and get ourselves out there? My husband said not but thought it is worth asking. Any help much apprciated - advice on here better than trawling Google! Many Thanks!- 3,663 replies
