Christopher McGrath Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sounds well supported by documentation and information. You will have to get a police cert from the UK and probably Australia is you spent more than 12 months here in the last 10 years. YOu will also have medical examinations, but not until you are asked by DIAC. Email me on chris15@bigpond.net.au and I can send you the police forms and information you will need.

Guest nick2704 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 After a year of preparation, I am taking my application for a de facto partner visa to the post office this morning! OH moves back to Perth in 3 weeks when his UK Youth Mobility Visa expires, and I have my fingers crossed the visa will be granted by August. Included 7 stat decs, 4 from Aussies, letters to each of us for every month we have lived together, loads of print outs from joint travel etc etc. All in all it weighs 2.5kg! I am so ready to go. hopefully the next few months will fly by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyLacey Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Guys, I'm new to the site! Nice to meet you all Names: Stacey (26) & Richie (30) What Visa: Independent Skilled migration visa, Subclass 175- General Accountant ANZSCO code 221112 How far along are you: Have appointed a Lawyer, had positive skills assesment and passed IELTS exam with score of 8.5, Lawyer is lodging papers online, this week, hopefully, she's just waiting for our funds to clear to her account. Where you going to be living: Hoping to move to Sydney, Along the Eastern suburbs Was just wondering if anyone has lodged an application lately,and since had their visa approved, as an accountant and how long it might take!? our lawyer has advised a minimum of 8 months and anything up to 18 months. But would love to speak to someone with 1st hand experience. I'm hoping 8 months is more likely, we just want to get there at this stage, :biggrin: Really dont know what to expect next, once the application is lodged Thanks, Stacey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnsey10 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi, Tony (40), Sandra (42) and Luke (13). I have just posted my Skills Assessment to Engineers Australia via ASA Consulting (our migration agents). Going for a 175 Independent (i'm a Control Systems DCS Engineer). English Test booked for 12th May, Going to post Visa Application after that. How long does each stage usually take - my thoughs were about 12-18 months ? Good Luck to all .... Tony Just got IELTS L9 R9 W8 S9 O9 - still waiting for positive result from EA - then post main visa paperwork, looks like we are gonna miss the july deadline for the new rules. Anyone have any idea what the differences will be ? Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogstercouk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hey all. James 38, Emma 33 applied for 175 visa under old rules in June 2011. Case officer appointed in Feb 2012, though they said it would take 18 months! Applying as a Civil Engineer, but had already undertaken police checks skills assessment IELTS etc prior to submission, basically everything but medicals. Fingers crossed for passing medicals as Emma has had the big C, though in remission...and long may that continue. Frogster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any thoughts on timelines? How long it takes from sending in application to walking off plane in Australia? Thanks. Hello, I've applied for the 300. Spoke to my CO a few minutes ago and she said current processing time is 5 months. I have my fingers crossed that it's a standard reply she gives to everyone and that it will infact take 4 months!! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
