    Our Visa 100 is granted ... yaaaay I can not believe it. I was saying as well that I had a similar timeline like @psuwara and I found it in the inbox Best of luck for you all

    Hey guys, A quick question regarding Stamp duty. We are planning to get a property in QLD. My wife is still on Visa 309. I read somewhere that they consider it as a 'permanent visa' and thus she will not pay an additional duty for being a 'foreigner'. Can you please guide me to an official document or website that states this? I found one from Revenue NSW, but none for QLD. I am working on updating our documents. My fingers are crossed for you all

    Hi EJMac I am not 100% but here are a few thoughts: Evidence of first arrival in Australia: The passport that has the stamp when you first entered the country (in case it is different that the one you are currently holding). I think this is the date you entered as well in your application (the day when you started your residence). If you got your first visa stamped on the passport you first entered Australia with, then all good. If not, electronic version, print out the PDF document and bring it with you (and just in case any subsequent visas you got) You present country of citizenship: You need your current passport (obviously) and maybe your birth certificate translated to English (that got your citizenship) I suggest you present your evidence one at a time and present the next evidence if requested. Hopefully this helps

    Hello guys, Any good news, anyone?

    For overseas police checks: If you have not travelled to these countries after you got your last police check, I would recommend waiting till they request it and letting them know that you have not been there and, thus, no further checks are required. You can upload your international movement record as evidence that you have not been there, and thus they are still valid For AFP: The process is a bit quick right now as they provide a digital option (no need to wait for it to be mailed to you). I recommend waiting

    Hey Bany, I believe they no longer process PMV300 as it is a temporary visa. If you can get an exemption, then there is a good chance.

    Thanks for your reply. I applied for PMV300 on 25 August 2019 and got married on 8 October 2020 then changed the visa to 309 on the 25 of December 2020. I think they will not start the count again for the 309 visa change. Visa application from Egypt I agree with @Marisawright you need to get the exemption for your visa to be processed.

    I am waiting for a visitor visa for my wife for >7 months. Currently, we are in our 8th month, which is according to the global processing timeframe is the maximum. Does anyone have any idea how can I push them to finalize the visa? We are waiting for a 309 visa as well (Amman office). Thanks all for your support

    Hi Kamila, congratulations. Thanks for letting me know. I will email them again. Fingers crossed

    Thanks so much Kamila for your support I forgot to mention that my wife already got the travel exemption before we apply for the visitor visa. They are very slow I would definitely appreciate your keeping me updated with your status. Thanks

    No recent travel (Dec 2020): I paid around $5000, one-way, Cairo-Brisbane, Business class Recommend that you do not book through an agent. Book directly with the airline. Check google flight for prices, hide separate tickets, select the most common airlines (sadly the expensive ones).
