ErinM Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 congrats @Poppysunday I'm applying for ours tomorrow, nearly done with this 19 page application, ahh lol. Haven't got to the end yet, so this question might be a bit premature. Do you attach the documents after you submit it - similar to the spouse one?

SmileyD Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I just saw someone get refused a visitor visa because of lack of ties to their home country. im about to submit our application but it doesn’t ask for anything like that. Has anyone else provided proof of ties or anything like that? would rather address it somehow now before we submit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn’t a particular place I just uploaded them under the nessesary documents tab x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it won’t ask for anything it’s up to you to prove it in your supporting documents. I have a job here, we have a child and family here too but I didn’t really go into it much. I guess it really depends on the individual processing your application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinM Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) I've just submitted my husbands 600 application...fingers crossed!! I uploaded: Scan of his passport (just checking did you get these certified? I just uploaded coloured scans?) Drivers licence Marriage certificate Also letter from me saying I would financially support him in Oz etc and that we were both aware of the visa conditions that he cannot work in any manner and will leave the country when his visa expires. I also attached a letter from my cousin who lives in Oz offering for us all to stay in hers free of charge and that she would also financially support us. Credit card statements showing available balances Savings account statement My Australian passport Kids Australian passports, Kids Australian citizenship certificates I gave up at that stage lol We have flights booked for January 14th 2020, so fingers crossed, as I think I might of left it a bit tight! With Christmas period coming up. Edited November 30, 2019 by ErinM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie S Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It took 9 months for my husbands 309/100, he’s from the Netherlands and I’ve heard that Britain and the Netherlands are considered low risk country’s. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamoC Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Can someone confirm that if you apply for a 309 visa from the UK, it is processed by a case office in the UK? Or is still processed in Australia? Sounds obvious but as the log in times on the IMMI website refer to Australian times, this is where my uncertainty comes from. any sensible answers appreciated, I have given myself enough silly replies already.
