Hi All, Im new here but finding the forum really useful in seeing other peoples experiences. Im a British citizen and my girlfriend is Australian. We've been together since late 2013, with evidence of us living together through us being jointly named on leases, and having a joint bank account, bills, car lease etc since 2015, before this we were living in a shared house so didn't have joint accounts etc to provide this evidence, however we have provided lots of pictures and communication between us.
I paid for my application for 309 from the UK on 13th January 19, and uploaded everything other than police checks and medical as was told by immigration not to do this until my case officer gets in contact so that they don't expire. However, I see a lot of people have opted to upload police and medial checks as a front loaded application. My question is, should I go ahead and get the checks done now and upload the evidence, or wait until a case officers contacts me because I didn't upload the info at the time I lodged my application?
Me and my partners and still currently living together, but she is heading back to Oz in Sept of this year as she needs to be there then to start a new job. I am hoping that my visa will be granted by December so I can be out there for Christmas!
