As above applied mid feb and was invited for test late April test date was mid May and he is awaiting ceremony date now. 
I don’t have exact dates but looks like you might hear June/July re test date. 

Thanks

Yes. Any processing times are average throughout the country.  My son applied this Feb in Canberra and has his test next week.  There is also variations in ceremony dates depending which council you are in and how many ceremonies they have. Melbourne have a backlog because testing wasn’t done in lockdown for example.

 

@rammygirl I applied on 27th April from Canberra and haven't heard anything back yet. Just wondering how long will it take for me to hear anything back from them. Would you kindly share your son's time line please.

All documents should be NAATI certified. I’d rather err on the side of caution. After having spent so much money on immigration after the years, I just find it easier to do things as they ask, even in the case they won’t even look at the document (which for some people they don’t). 

Depending on what your timeline is looking like, you can request a free translation through your ImmiAccount, although they take approximately 10 working days to get back to you.

@Randall Thanks so much for the reply. I submitted my application last night with translations I already had. I guess I can request for free translations and attach them via my ImmiAccount. Thanks again for the info.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had the same document re-translated. For the sake of being cautious, get a new translation. If they do ask to eye the document, they’ll want that pretty NAATI stamp to be there. 

Hi @Randall,

Does it really have to be NAATI translated? For all those years and for all other visas including the PR, I’ve been submitting translations which I got it done when I was in my home country. I was hoping to submit the same for this application too. 
Do you think I should get my docs NAATI translated?

Thanks in advance.

cheers!

So, what's the problem?  Are you saying that the JPG image does not display?

@Marisawright It’s separating the document into single page documents.  Is that ok?

Hi all,

I'm trying to attach documents to our application and I'm getting a message saying that,

Separate applications per adult. can log in via single immi account. Child can be included in one of the applications. I included my kids on my application, but details of my spouses application was included in mine. And my kids details were provided on my spouses application. 
good luck to you 

 

Thanks so much for your reply @Maria Demonte.

Hivthere. 

1. Yes 2 different applications 

2. Can do it from same immi account 

3. I think child is included on one application, but check as I didn't have a child under 16 so no experience 

 

Good luck 

@pearplumpie Thanks so much for your reply. Really appreciate it.

I was in exactly the same situation,

1. You'll need 2 applications for you and your partner

2. You can use a same immiAccount for both applications.

3. Your child will need to be included in 1 application only, better be the main one (if you apply using your immiAccount, include him/her in your application, just easier if there's any following up or additional requirements)

Apart from that, you'll need to mention in your partner's application that she/he has a child which is not in this application, but in another one. There's a section for that when you create the application.

Also, if you're living together and both from a same address, it will be much easier. If not, preparing for additional custody documents.

 

 

 

 

@David Ng Thanks so much for your reply. Really appreciate it. 

Hi all, 

We are hoping to apply online next week. I have few quires and just wondering if anyone could help me with these.

1. Do we have to submit 2 different applications for me and my partner?
2. Do we have to have separate immi accounts to do so or can we do that in one immi account?
3. If we have to submit 2 separate applications, do we have to include our child in both applications or only in one?

Much appreciated if you guys could help me with this.

Cheers!
