    Hi everyone, Which is best, partner visa (husband is Aussie, been together 10 years, married 6 years) or a skilled visa (I am a primary teacher and on the list). Thanks everyone

    Hello everyone, I have been with my husband since 2010 when we met in Australia whilst I was on a WHV - my partner is Australian. We have been living in the UK for the last 11 years and have a little girl who is 2. We are now looking to make to move to Australia and wondering which partner visa is the best to apply for - off shore or on shore. Looking at the processing times, I am concerned as my husband’s UK visa is due to end August 2023. I wonder if I can enter Australia in a tourist visa and apply onshore? However, worried about how long this will take as it will mean I am unable to work. I should also add that I am a primary school teacher with 10 years experience and looking to continue teaching in Australia. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any help Claire

    Hello, I hope you don’t mind me jumping on here but can I ask as I am trying to find the best way of doing things… You went to Australia in a regular 3 month visitor visa and have lodged your partner visa application whilst there? We are looking to move soon as my husband’s UK visa expires next august and the waiting times on processing are freaking me out! thank you x

    Good point! We were only talking about my birth certificate last night so I will definitely do this as I’m sure mine got lost when I applied for a poassport a number of years ago (by the passport office ) Thanks!

    Thank you! The man at Haskew Law was like, “well would you represent yourself in court?” He was incredibly rude. I thought, probably not but we’ve done visa apps for my husband and I’m not stupid! If budget wasn’t a factor I probably would use one but unfortunately it is! Thank you for your advice! Good luck! Xx

    This is a strange question but, a 12 month + wait for the partner visa is quite long, what if in this time you were to get pregnant/have a baby? Cheers x

    Of course Facebook! Why didn’t I think of that?!!! For our honeymoon we travelled around Europe, nevermind all the other holidays! Looks like my weekend is going to be fun...! It’ll all be worth it in the end! We’ve got a trip to Oz booked for April for two weeks to see family and our nephew’s christening, this won’t affect my application will it? (Prob a stupid question!)

    Thank you so much for a warm welcome! It feels like an absolute minefield! I’m definitely going to look back through this thread and others for further guidance. With regards to the tourist visa, which I read about on this thread previously, we can (if permitted by the visa people) apply for the 12 month tourist visa whilst we wait for our partner visas to be granted? And we need to leave aus for five days and re-enter on the new visa? I’m just thinking of ways and means of getting there quicker. We have a big family in Oz, so this could be an option for us. Sprrg for all the questions, I’m already impatient do I can’t omagine how it is for everyone else! Cheers! Claire

    Thank you for your reply! I have started the application online and need to go back through it this weekend to make sure we’ve supplied all the correct details. Just wondering, when it asks countries visited in the last 10 years for less than 12 months, does this include holidays and short breaks?! Need to get my thinking cap well and truly on for this! This visa application seems a lot more complex than the UK version! Thanks xx

    Hi everyone! I’ve just discovered this forum and thread. We are right at the beginning of his journey and OMG it sounds like a nightmare! How long has it taken everyone to get their visas finalised? I saw post about 12 month tourist visas and I’m wondering if this would be an option for us? My husband is Australian, been together 8 years, married for 2. Lived in aus for 6 months and then in the UK for 7 1/2 years. We’re ready to make he love, why does it have to be so difficult? Can anyone recommend an agent? I spoke to Haskew Law but the man was really rude and I refuse to trust them. Or, has anyone experience of doing the application themselves? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated! Thanks! Claire

    Hi! I was just wondering if anyone could share their experience with me of applying for a partner visa? Im married to an Australian, been together 8 years, married for two, have lived in the UK for 7 1/2 years together. Thanks!

    Hi everyone! My Australian husband and I are hoping to move to Australia soon. I am from the UK, we have been married for 2 years and together for 8 - we have always lived together. I am a primary school teacher with early years school experience - so on the skilled list. Im just wondering, which visa is the best to apply for with regards to cost and processing time? Also, did you do your application independently or through an emigration company? Thank you for your help! Claire
