TheGreatDane 10 Posted September 17, 2012 Think you're reading it incorrectly... "met in person" as, have you seen your partner in the flesh.. so tick "yes" if you've seen the internet catch in person. Assume you have... Surely they must realise that a lot of relationships start on the interweb these days... Myself, I saw mine at the Tube station and thought I'd have a bit of that... If I ever had to go looking again I'd get on those dating websites... Or give them a shout to see what they say... 31/8/2012: application submitted | 03/09/2012: CC charged | 04/09/2012: CO assigned (SV) | 08/05/2013: medical check done | 16/05/2013: visa granted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammy1 856 Posted September 17, 2012 I am not sure what to say really....Don't you think it would be a good idea to actually meet your future husband/wife before committing to marriage ? How about a tourist visa for you to visit a few weeks, or for him/her to visit you, so you can at least spend time together and see if you like each other in reality ?

_shel 281 Posted September 17, 2012 No, http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/partners/prospective/300/eligibility-applicant.htm [h=2]Relationship[/h] You must have met (as adults) your intended spouse in person and know him or her personally. This must be the case even if: it is an arranged marriage you and your sponsor met as children and the marriage was arranged before you turned 18 years of age you met on the internet (exchanging photographs is not evidence of having met in person). 05/09/09 Mailed my 309/100 app 17/09/09 CO 05/10/09 Meds 08/10/09 PCC 09/10/09 Xray, 18/12/09 Extra Medical report recieved by CO 14/01/10 Hep B test, 09/02/10 New CO aggh 18/02/10 309, Baby visa needed now for our move in Sept 2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest boss619 Posted September 17, 2012 about tourist visa, i can't, i have been rejected because i am from middle east? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammy1 856 Posted September 17, 2012 Well could your future partner perhaps visit you on a holiday ? Then that way you would have met and so fulfill the visa requirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_shel 281 Posted September 17, 2012 So apply again, what reasons where you given for rejection? Not every one from the middle east is rejected. You focus on the reason for rejection and give proof that you are a genuine tourist. Or they come to you for a holiday? 05/09/09 Mailed my 309/100 app 17/09/09 CO 05/10/09 Meds 08/10/09 PCC 09/10/09 Xray, 18/12/09 Extra Medical report recieved by CO 14/01/10 Hep B test, 09/02/10 New CO aggh 18/02/10 309, Baby visa needed now for our move in Sept 2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest boss619 Posted September 17, 2012 oh, well, i am from Gaza Strip, thats why i have been rejected, as i call the ambassador, she told me that you are unlikely to go back to your country again if you leave it... so please find me a solution or another visa work for me??

Rupert 1,313 Posted September 17, 2012 You have to meet in person for this visa there's no way around this. Either you go theRe, she comes to you or you meetin a third location. Otherwise this visa is not for you. Other options might be skilled migrant or employer sponsored perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_shel 281 Posted September 17, 2012 They dont usually reject people because they are from a specific country. You say you were rejected because they believe you would overstay your visa and not return home. Do you have a job? have family to care for? These are reasons to return home which you need to show within your visa application. But otherwise you're partner will have to visit you. Or like Rupert says apply for a skilled visa if you have an occupation? 05/09/09 Mailed my 309/100 app 17/09/09 CO 05/10/09 Meds 08/10/09 PCC 09/10/09 Xray, 18/12/09 Extra Medical report recieved by CO 14/01/10 Hep B test, 09/02/10 New CO aggh 18/02/10 309, Baby visa needed now for our move in Sept 2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
