Hi, I need help with form 80 question 24, I am applying for the subclass 300 but eventually will apply for partner visa 820/801 which will lead to permanent residency. So, do I answer yes or no for that question? If yes, I need to put a proposed final departure date? so what should I add in that? as 820 will be on shore partner visa Thanks

Hiya I’m getting close to submitting so just wanted to see what other people’s timelines were for prospective marriage visa 300. I’ll be applying from UK. thanks all! ?

Just want to see who else applied around this time and what stages you are at etc. I applied 10th June, got my CO and got my medicals all sorted, not just for the long wait

Hello everyone, I tried to search for a thread for this details but could not find much. I want to apply for a Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300) for my partner. Can you please tell me about good immigration agents in Sydney? If possible, please give me atleast 3 options. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Priku

Hey Guys, Just signed up to this as told of this website by a friend who's just moved to Oz. My situation is this: I was in Australia for 12 months and met my fiancee in the end of 2009. We had met a few times and lost contact etc. However a year ago we got back in contact (Thanks to Facebook) and we decided to do the whole long distance thing. 12 months down the line and she has been over for a month long holiday in July and then came back in September and is currently here in the UK but will leave around February. We understand pretty much what we need to do for the visa, photos, plane tickets, hotel confirmations etc from traveling Europe together. We also have the added bonus of her mother coming over a few weeks ago, so we have photos and plane tickets from that too ) My problem is between november and july we dont have our skype logs as we both have had our phones replaced. Skype only records the logs on the device you use so we dont have this evidence as we used our mobiles 99% of the time. would this be a problem? we have facebook chat, just no evidence of calls until July. The other things that are bothering me are the fact that she is halfway through her degree, so if/when my application is successful then she wont be working, maybe part time. I have many friends in Australia who will give me work, so our plan would be for me to come over and work and then look for a place of our own as we shall temporarily be living with her family. Again would this be a problem (the fact she does not have any savings etc)?? I also believe as i spent time on a Working Holiday Visa in Oz then I would need my police check done not only for the UK but also Australia? Did anyone send the health check and background check in with the application straight away or did they ask for it when they're ready? With the new website up and running with immigov im not sure if i should do the application online or fill it out hand written. Not sure if i like the way the website is now. Thanks in advance for your replies, it's driving me crazy as to how to approach the start of putting the application together and also worried that i may 'forget' something. Thanks, Patrick

Hey everyone! I applied for the prospective marriage visa in march, and it got acknowledged by my co on 10th April. I already did the medicals and all the police checks when I submitted my application, as my migration agent advised that it may be granted quicker. However the co advised the 8-9 month minimum wait. I'm finding it really hard now being apart from my fiance, who is still in Australia. How long has it taken people to get their visas granted?

Heey Im from England and i lodged my PMV on the 10th June 2013, On the website it states that the waiting time for low risk countries is 5 months yet im reading on here its 8-9 months, is that correct? o also im from England but I lodged my visa in Bangkok as that is where i am currently living, does that slow the process down?

hi guys Our CO has told us not to contact her until december 3rd as she stated "just to check to see if she hasn't forgot about us". We informed her of our travel plans being to go on the 13th december and that a relitive booked our flights as a gift for us. Is this normal or is she just being difficult? we have submitted everything weve been asked for but have not been told as others have that all documents are now together. In fact when i did phone her she asked me if we had sent in some photos and or celebratant deglaration both of which we had in our original submission but had to resnd as she coundn't find them. please help has anyone else had these problems? what if nything can we do? were applying for a prospective marriage visa subclass 300 submitted 3rd July 2011
