Jen NT Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 So all has gone very quiet with London office and my hope for an early visa grant is getting smaller and smaller.... We really need to go by 12th Sept, can i go on a visitor visa while Im waiting? Just want to make sure it wont affect my partner visa application...

That's what I'm doing (unless my PR is granted before I go). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As last time i tried to email him the automated message said it was for sending documents only and I never got a reply.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansuspect Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) thanks for that just wanted to make sure it will be ok...... Just another stupid question...... How do I let my CO know? As last time i tried to email him the automated message said it was for sending documents only and I never got a reply.... Good point, I should probably let my CO know... I think they only get in touch with you if it's important, probably once they get the info it's assumed they know? Actually, I've been a bit naughty and often reply to the initial email my CO sent as he seems to respond to it. Someone else replied to it once and told me not to use it again but I did anyway. Maybe it won't work now the website has changed? Who knows! Edited July 15, 2015 by alansuspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, you can get another one but you have to leave Oz and re enter to activate another 3 months stay. I have an e visitor which will take me up to 14th Jan 2016. Flying out 14th October.

Thank you Just one more question (or two), how long do I have to leave the country for before i can re-enter and do I have to apply for another evisitor visa?

Its 3 working days, no bank holidays or week ends. Your e visitor will automaticaly renew on entry. You can go out and back in for up to 12 months, 3 months at a time.

You can go out and back in for up to 12 months, 3 months at a time. Again thank you for that as I misread the info (i thought it meant for up to 3 months in a 12 month period....) That puts my mind to rest. Now just to find out if hubby's wage will support all of us.... time to contact BOSS... and away we will go....

Hi Jen, if you are under 31, you could go on the Working Holiday Visa, then you could work too. That's what I have done while waiting for the grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I have done while waiting for the grant Thanks for the suggestion but I am no longer under 31 (boo):cry: and also I already used the Working Holiday Visa which is how I met my now husband.

Jen NT Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 So i spoke with ESC today just to confirm its ok to get a tourist visa and I explained why we need to go in september and was told that its all good and that if my visa is granted while im there they will ask me to leave for 3 working days. The lady I spoke with asked for my client ID so she could check my visa status and although they cant really tell you anything she did say im not really telling you this but its been finalised and in a que waiting to be granted but she didnt know how long the que is.... Now I have booked flights for Aus in September and have applied for visitor visa just incase.... fingers crossed I get Partner Visa before I go....

He's leaving a few weeks before me and our little boy, that's going to be hard enough. I'm lucky he's here with me through it all.
