Gary and Jenny Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Girlfriend sent CO email stating that she has had Medicals done 6th June and asking how the application is doing, reply back was he now has all the information and the health and character checks have all been met and he states that we may travel to Oz on an appropriate visa and if in Oz when he grants visa he will ask her to leave for 3 days for the process period The way it reads to us is that she has got the visa but got to wait for it to go through the system to be granted Anybody had a similar email We are now wondering whether to risk going over a couple of months early and get the grant while in OZ, as we have a family wedding and flying over for that and then flying over permanently will eat into our moving budget Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Sounds fine. If they require nothing further it's just waiting for grant. You can go to AUS on a tourist visa and if still there when granted then go offshore for a view days to allow it to kick in and validate on re entry. It cannot be granted on shore as it's an off shore application so your partner will have to leave AUS for a few working days regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingtoTasmania Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 On the partner offshore thread, there have been a few cases where people have waited till the last minute, then emailed CO to explain the circumstances and got the grant back by reply email. You could try this as you still have until September and it might pay off but if it doesn't you can apply for the electronic visa. Either way, you must let the CO know so that you don't get the spouse visa granted and then the tourist visa as the tourist visa will cancel out the spouse visa.
