Partner visa subclass 100

Hello everybody

I have few question. I will appreciate any help offered

My wife applied for a partner visa subclass 309\100, she is outside oustralia now. I am also outside oustralia. I am her sponser in the application. we got married 8 years back and have 3 children. I am an australian citizen.

I think my wife will get the permenant visa under subclass 100(permenant not provisional).

My questions are:

** will she be required to go to australia within a specific period after her application is approved.

** will the immigration ask me for a proof of financial ability to sponsor her like salary certificate.

** is it a problem that i am living outside australia now and havent been to australia for the last 8 years.given that i mentioned in the application that me and my wife will move to australia after application approval

** how long does take for the application to be approved. Given that i think i submitted a full application online with full attachments and evidences of genuine and continuous relationship.except for the medical test.

I couldnt find an answer for any of these question in booklet 1. All what the booklet mentioned was about the provisional visa subclass 309 which i believe is not applicable to my case.

Thanks in advance for any replies

Q: will she be required to go to australia within a specific period after her application is approved.

 

A: Yes, there will be a initial entry requirement attached.

 

Q:will the immigration ask me for a proof of financial ability to sponsor her like salary certificate.

 

A: Not normally will since the Social Security Act changed few years back. Are all your three children Australian Citizen?

 

Q: is it a problem that i am living outside australia now and havent been to australia for the last 8 years.given that i mentioned in the application that me and my wife will move to australia after application approval

 

A: Yes, there is a usual residence requirement for eligibility to be a sponsor. The usual residence is not defied in the migration regulations though.

 

Q: how long does take for the application to be approved. Given that i think i submitted a full application online with full attachments and evidences of genuine and continuous relationship.except for the medical test.

 

A: Depends on country of origin, it may vary for high or low risk country, some may take 7,8 months to 12-15 months, not many been approved in lesser then 7 months to my knowledge.

Hi Adli,

 

Re being outside Australia - my partner and I recently applied for a 309/100. He is an Australian citizen, I am a British citizen. He hasn't lived in Australia for around 4 years now, and he has been approved as a sponsor.

 

Processing time as said above depends on where you're applying from. From the UK the official processing time is currently 10-14 months.

 

Good luck with your application!

Since you are an Australian citizen, you won't need to meet the "usually resident" criteria. Depending on where the visa is processed, they can take anywhere from about 8-14 months. There's a 309 thread (http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/58449-summary-spouse-visa-processing-times-offshore-uk-please-add-your-stats.html) that may help give you some idea of recent processing time averages.

Thanks very much for your reply Wei Shu and for the other who replied. The answers provided are very helpfull for me.

My 3 children are australian citizens . they are not included in the application.

** are you sure about the entry requirement, because my wife should get the permenant residency straight away without needing to wait 2 years under provisional visa subclass 309?

** we are applying from UAE(Dubai). Visas there are easier usually to australia, do you have any idea how long does it take to get the visa?

Q: are you sure about the entry requirement, because my wife should get the permenant residency straight away without needing to wait 2 years under provisional visa subclass 309?

 

A: It most likely will be the case. Your relationship is a long term one, therefore under the regulation, need not be wait for 2 yrs for second stage process, rather the DIBP/DFAT may just grant 309 and 100 at same time, one after another. However, there is still possibility of being granted 309 only, which has had happened once to one of my Indonesian client may years back, and there is no review right as it is not a refusal, you certainly can lodge a complaint.

 

Q: we are applying from UAE(Dubai). Visas there are easier usually to australia, do you have any idea how long does it take to get the visa?

 

A: From top of my memory, UAE is not an ETA eligible passport, so it is not considered to be a low risk country.

 

There is no specific time frame or requirement for a particular visa must be finalised from a country or region. Majority may be finalised in the vicinity of one year.

 

All three children are Australian citizen means they have social security entitlements, therefore you will have lesser change of being asked to show your financial position.
