I signed all the papers for my daughter. I remember my wife signing one of the sections along with me but I am not sure. Need to look at the application. Regarding the Form 1229, if it allows multiple children, you can put all of them in one or you can submit individual one for each Child visa application. But I think it will be better to attach one Form 1229 declaration with each application,that is my opinion though but probably people who have done this recently can shed some light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep an eye out for an email with the Visa Grant Notice. Best of luck. Hi thanks.... how much time it took for the grant letter after u submitted all thr papers....

Tasmiha Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Dear All, We have submitted my newborn daughter's visa (child visa 101) on June 21, 2017. My husband is the sponsor. Recently immigration authority mailed him requiring some additional docs/info. One of such requirement is to provide his residential details in Australia . They mentioned that sponsor must provide his/her residential details in Australia even if it is a temporary address. They mentioned that it is required to progress on my application. Our concern is that right now i and my husband are in Bangladesh after making the first entry in Australia in 2015. So right now i dont have any residential address in Australia. We will migrate to Australia after the grant of child visa 101. In this event what residential address/details in Australia will we provide? We have some relatives in Australia. Shall we use their address? My husband has a timeline to reply back so i appreciate your help as early as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock79 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I'm surprised they're asking you for this information. Not sure how people can provide an Australian address when they're not yet in the country and haven't arranged a rental yet etc? I'm in the UK. We have also completed the child visa forms and I (Father) am the sponsor for our children. I have not included an Australian address either as the forms only ask for your current residential address (which is in the U.K.). One of the questions does say that if your current address isn't in Australia you need to provide a statement explaining how you will meet your sponsorship obligations, so I have done this. Can others who have gone through this process please confirm that you don't need to include an Australian address on the forms? Thanks.

Tasmiha Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi. They mentioned that for now we can provide any of our relatives address as well. Also requested for childs medical. Well does any of you have any idea how to provide this additional information asked by them? I mean should we reply them through email or should we provide the documents to our local vfs office? I think it should be through email. Am i right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expatriate123 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I believe if they have not provided the mode of delivering the additional info.... you can send by email -I did that when they asked my kids vaccination report -i scanned and sent to them.... the medical report will be uploaded by the approved clinic...

I got my PR granted in 2012 and had used an agent. So never thought of looking there. I am thinking no as your child was not part of the initial PR application but I may be wrong.

No I did not submit anything. I just took my daughter for the medicals and they uploaded the results to DIBP and I never even followed after that. I asked the VO and I was told that they had received the medicals. Thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasmiha Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 @path2aus did you do anything additional to make your visa early. Since you mentioned that your visa was expiring in 20 days did you do anything to let them kbow this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VO asked us what was our plan if we did not get the visa by that date, we said that we were planning to take the baby on visitor visa. She granted the PR within that time and and asked us to withdraw the tourist visa application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
