Hey, no, confusion it seems, we are certainly not wanting to fill in anything incorrectly or fraudulently! Our Poms in Oz account is a shared account, just a case of 1st person/2nd person pronouns (my partner replied to one comment) I wrote the first. I am the applicant. I have never been to Oz. I will of course not be saying I have. My sponsor lives in Uk with me. She has been to Oz many times but does not live there. In one section of the initial application form (I am unsure if this is the actual visa 309 or just the first step) it asks, is your sponsor Australian citizen by birth - answer no. Is your sponsor Australian citizen by grant. Answer yes. A new calendar line appears and the question asks: when did your sponsor first arrive in Australia. It can not be left blank. And she is not there now. So we are stuck. Was eagerly hoping someone knew the answer on here who may have encountered the same problem and it could be quite simple. It can’t be that the only way to fill in a fairly straight forward form successfully is by paying an agent. thanks for help and for answering much appreciated

shared account. See username. ok so no one knows the answer can’t find anyone having asked this before.

Thanks, ok so will just put in the last time I went there! Thank you

Hey, looking for a bit of guidance.. We have started applying for my partner visa 309. My sponsor is my Australian citizen by decent fiancé. We meet all of the necessary requirements for the application etc but we have come to a question which asks when my sponsor arrived in Australia (and requires a date in the past). Well, she has never lived in Australia (we both live in the UK together but are emigrating to be close to extended family and start a family of our own over there) I have checked over and over and no where in the form that I can see have I answered incorrectly to suggest my sponsor is there. It’s specifically for overseas applying. Does my partner need to live in Australia for us to be able to apply for this visa? Am I missing something ? thanks stay safe everyone
