    @bicek is the 8502 shown on your visa?
  2. Almat
    @bicek huge congrats well done! You’ve panicked me a bit as I’m flying on New Years Eve with the children and my Australian husband is flying later once his work is finalised. I can’t see any stipulations on my visa hard copy or VEVO.

    @Greystones we just used my applicant statement and tweaked it for the sponsor version.... made it less wordy since it came from a man! ha ha... mine was long and emotional : )

    @Robin’s Emigrating I would defo mark them as citizens as long as there is no doubt they'll get their citizenship

    @Robin’s Emigrating just checked and I used the same people as I did for 888 forms x

    @Robin’s Emigrating hi there... For my form 888 I used my husbands Auntie (Australian), my father-in-law (Australian), a friend (Australian), my mother (British), my father (British). So all were family apart from the friend. 3 Aussie's and 2 brits. I also front loaded my application which meant I submitted with my medical check, police report and about a week later submitted my husbands Uk and Australian police report. If you send me your email address i'll share the resource that I referred to. Just got my visa in November - delighted!

    ohhhh @moominfillyjonk fantastic... huge congrats!

    @Summer 213 I’d sort of ignore the processing times at the moment... mine was submitted in March and signed off in November - only 8 months, I front loaded everything. I’d progress if I were you. Good luck!

    Oh wow, just checked mine and it was issued in Belgrade

    @bicek this is great news, well done! So pleased for you! Mine was clear and back in 24 hours so don’t panic!

    @martymarty5436425 that’s annoying they are so slow. If it were me I’d still do the CBD route and then follow up explaining you are relocating along with timelines - this will give them a kick up the backside to get moving on it. If they’ve got no reason to prioritise your case they won’t. If you present a reason (eg we’re relocating in a month etc then they’ll be more likely to look into it). Ideally move before baby 2 is born then at least you only have one CBD to worry about for now I wrote to the embassy in London about my partner visa and two weeks later it was granted! I only applied in March 2020. Worth a shot.

    @bicek yep so do I now I’m just praying my flight isn’t cancelled or we’re bumped !
  13. Almat
    @bicek it’s tricky for sure. Best of luck. I fly on the 31st Dec with my two children and husband will follow in Feb/March .

    Hi @moominfillyjonk I highly refined writing to them (see address above). I truly believe this got the ball rolling my end. in terms of 600 I applied, didn’t hear anything for a while then submitted my exemption and both granted within 48 hours back in September. I would apply for both now. I didn’t provide any flight details as I didn’t have a flight booked. I put my planned travel date, which changed anyway. Crack on if I were you!

    Yes do @lepea! It obviously helped my end. I didn’t it think it would to be honest... I highlighted how easy my case was (not dissimilar to you - 17 years together, 2 kids etc). But also highlighted how would I be able to leave Oz for my visa to be granted if they didn’t grant it before My planned departure on the 31st December... with COVID restrictions I wouldn’t be able to leave Oz. I too was granted a 600/exemption in September. Anyway here’s the address: Department of Home Affairs Australian High Commission Strand London WC2B 4LA Which part of Oz are you heading too? Keep me posted - fingers are crossed for you!

    Hi @ainzlondon79 I applied for the 600 and heard nothing so a week later applied for the exemption and then both were granted within 48 hours (in September) x

    Hi @bicek jumping in here just to let you know we have our children’s name down for a private school with no Oz address (we’re still in London) and also a state school. The state school doesn’t have a catchment so that’s a relief but if it did then I would have provided my temporary air Bnb that we’ve secured for our arrival that happens to be 5 mins from the school. Maybe that’s an option for you if your having catchment issues

    I would of thought you carry on as you are as the baby isn't even born yet... then apply for citizenship by descent when baby is born. Although if you're planning on moving after the baby is born you'll need to be on the ball with applying for the CBD

    Hi everyone - so many of you have provided invaluable advice on my journey and I just want to say thank you. Today I cried with relief as my 100 and 109 was granted! I wrote a letter to the embassy in London on the 22nd October so this must have helped as I only submitted my application in March so that means 8 months it took to grant. Have faith and hope guys, my timeline was nowhere near the 17-25 months quoted on the immi site. KEEP GOING, DON'T GIVE UP! And maybe a badgering letter like mine might help! Within this I highlighted that I had been issued a 600 visa and exemption and I was concerned that if my partner visa was issued whilst I was in Australia I wouldn't be able to leave in order for it to be granted due to covid restrictions. Common sense prevailed it would seem! xx

    @DaisyN Huge congrats! Im relocating too but on an exemption and 600 visa... still waiting on partner visa
  21. Almat
    @TruthSeeking thats right i applied for the 600 visa first then the exemption. How did you get on?
  22. Almat
    @TrudiStrangesorry I missed this... Im not entirely sure but I did get mine certified by a teacher just in case x
  23. Almat
    I’m going on a 600 visa plus exemption, partner visa in the system. I’m hoping I can get a bridging visa to work - now I’m a bit concerned! My husband of 17 years and children are all citizens so you think they’d just rubber stamp it and be done
  24. Almat
    @moominfillyjonk same boat as you. Applied for offshore (but later than you, march 2020). In September I was granted 600 visa and exemption. Flight booked for 31st Dec with my Aussie citizen children (Australian citizen husband to join us in March 2021 to allow him to complete work commitments). If my 600 expires and I’ve not yet received my partner visa I’ll apply for a bridging visa. I believe this is allowed but maybe only because it’s off the back of a soon to expire visa. I’m not sure if you can apply for a bridging visa once you arrive as you’ll still have a valid 600. Mines for 1 year with no work rights. Not ideal by any means but really hoping the partner visa comes through quicker than I think it will!

    @TrudiStrange I might have gone overboard but I just wanted to make sure I had included everything. On reflection 17 years together, 2 children, 2 houses, a dog, a joint business and the like should be enough but hey ho, ha ha! So when I realised they weren't reviewing partner visas due to covid I went and applied for the 600 tourist visa and then the exemption. After submitting the exemption form both this and the visa was approved (within 72 hours). Its for a year and unfortunately means I cant work but I am hoping my partner visa will be issued within the year. If not I will apply for a bridging visa until my partner one is approved. I had to get there in January as the children start their new schools then, we've rented the house out etc
