I rang last week to check dates as I am on a tourist visa and gave to leave come back and they checked my 309 at the time saying I uploaded very quickly and everything in order. I have been at further assessment from may really praying we hear good news. Fingers crossed for you That's good news I keep debating ringing but then don't. I've only just qualified so it's really hard for me to start applying for jobs and I daren't till we get the green light so i just feel like everything is on hold ! I just feel like Fridays keep coming and going but I keep waiting for a post from you to say you've had good news as I know your dates are similar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time lurker here, thought it was time to contribute with my timeline in case there will be some movement soon that can help others. I am however not sure whether London or Berlin is processing my application as I’m a Swedish citizen applying from Sweden. Either way Berlin had a median time of 190 days and London 191 days during the fiscal year 17-18. So processing time may still be fairly similar. Lodge 309/100 April 15 2019 Medical done July 2nd Front loaded with all our police checks. Been in a de facto relationship since 1st of December 2016. No kids. 12 months subclass 600 granted in 3 days, leaving this Sunday for Australia to await decision. Fingers crossed for everyone here in the forum, the grant letter will come soon for all of us!! Did you have to get medical again for subclass 600? I am planning to apply for subclass 600 for my wife. What documents did you submit?

Evisitor 651 allows you to stay up to 3 months, 600 can be granted for 6 or 12 months and means you don’t have to leave every 3 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hi All. We are about to do our medical and went to print of the referral letter but I need to edit it. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaskiaZ Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi all, Been stalking this for a while! It’s giving me some kind of vague timeline for our visa arriving which has improved my mental state considerably! We applied 3rd March 2019 and uploaded police checks and medical by beginning of July. Heard nothing as yet. Obvs. just seeing that others seem to have separate logins for the sponsor (me) and the applicant (my husband). Ours seem to be linked to the same account. My sponsor section is like a tab with my name on it when you click on the application. Have I gone horribly wrong? I’ve uploaded all of my stuff in there. Hope someone can shed some light on this Hoping to go in January regardless of visa as we have sold our flat already and will be nomads from November!

We lodged March 11. We had one immi account (my partners) and I as the sponsor did my part inside his account. Sounds like what you have done.

All evidence and attachments etc are upload on my partners account (the applicant). The bulk is uploaded under his name/tab on his account, and any documents specific to me only (my birth certificate, police clearance etc) is uploaded under my name/tab (the sponsor). I have asked this question before and had the advice that it is okay to upload evidence this way. However I still think you need to have separate IMMI accounts. You use the TRN (reference number) from the applicants account to link to the sponsors account. And then as the sponsor you have to complete the online application - Sponsorship for a partner to migrate to Australia (equivalent to form 40sp I think, but online not an actual form?). This is another series of questions, similar to what would have been answered when the applicant created their account but obviously this time relating to the sponsor instead. Essentially it is the sponsor's application.. Someone with more knowledge feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but that is my understanding of it!

tom1993 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If you do the medical before being requested, do they process the medical straight away or do they wait to process it until after they request it? We applied a few months ago and I have a pre existing condition so I want to find out if I pass the medical or not to put my mind at rest.

I'm sure my mum did it this way too and was granted her visa but I will have to double check with her https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/partner-offshore/provisional-309#HowTo I thought you did need separate immi accounts, but to be honest I cannot say if this is 100% the case. If you look on the immi website in the above link it does say you can use your partners / the applicants immi account or create your own as the sponsor. So I assume by this wording then maybe it does mean it is okay to leave it as you have it.... Though please don't take my word for it! I am just a fellow sponsor muddling my way through trying to make sense of it all I am sure there would be many people who did everything under the one account previously, particularly as the information on how to complete the application as a whole can be a bit ambiguous. It doesn't prompt you to create a separate account as a sponsor and do the online sponsor application. I did it based on advice I took from endless reading of forums advising to do so when we applied for the visa. With the new stricter rules of sponsors having to be approved first though I wouldn't be surprised if this is what needs to be done going forward or even what they expect of people now even if not properly instructed that it is the case... Maybe it will be that if it is required you will get an RFI requesting for it to be completed. For me I figured I would rather create my own account and do the sponsor application that way rather than take a risk of not doing it. If anyone else has experience or thoughts on this it will be interesting to get your understanding of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had one like you, uploaded everything under my (applicant) account but sponsor name all of the sponsor documents. And in July we had an RFI just for a separate account for a sponsor. Since then is very quiet, so I feel like it was a big overlook from our side to not have those two accounts from the beginning and extended our wait. But you live and learn, we created a separate account for my husband now and waiting for any news, hopefully soonish :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked with my mum who went through the process around 9 months ago and she said that she did it all under one immi account , she just did a new application . I wonder why they request different things from different people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileyD Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think it sounds like there might be two different scenarios going on when using the one account. 1. Applicant has the one account and people uploaded the sponsor documents under the sponsor name with the applicants claim 2. Applicant has one account and in that account the sponsor does their own application which is the 40sp. Mine is the second one. My name appears twice in his account. my name sits inside his application and also in my own name under the his account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone else waiting! good to know some movement has happened for those of us applied in June of this year. All we had was our agent asking us to submit our sponsor app in July and nothing since then . We aren't planning on moving till June next year when my Visa and my partners visas will both expire for the UK. hopefully sorted before then or i may off to the US for the unforseen future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
