Which documents were missing could you please confirm

[Usman Jav]

Guys please stay active for at least few weeks after your visa is granted. Your advise could be very helpful for many anxious applicants.

there used to be a button "‘I confirm that I have provided my information’" in the portal, but currently it is unavailable.

Application status used to change on pressing this button. Since the button is not available anymore, status of the application will automatically change. 

You have nothing to worry as long you have submitted all relevant documents. 

Btw Case officers are usually assigned after 11 months of submitting of the application.

309 is a temporary visa. You will automatically get permanent visa after two years. Permanent visa is called subclass 100.

centerlink and medicare are not available on 309 visa. You will have to wait for permanent visa.

You do not automatically get a PR visa after 2 years. You have to provide paperwork first, and show that your relationship ia still ongoing.

You just need to apply for certificate of good conduct online at minstry of foreign affairs website. But you should have someone at Malaysia to collect on behalf of u. Payment is 20 MYR. They don't email or post you should know someone here to collect it on behalf of you. Write an authorisation letter, the person name and ID number, sign it, and email it to your friend here so can print it. If you don't know anyone you should come to collect it.

Hi all, a newbie here.  I applied for my 309/100 on 20.08.19. I'm the applicant, husband is the sponsor. Married for 16 years, together for 21, 4 kids with dual nationality now.  Front loaded application, so hoping for a quick grant.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. Looking for a bit of advice from everyone applying for 309 visa. My wife is an Australian citizen and we have been married since 2015 and have 3 children all born in Ireland. I'm an Irish national. The kids all have Australian citizenship and we live in Ireland.

I'm just wondering, how much detail do they need in the evidence of ongoing relationship section. Obviously I'll include bank statements, bills, mortgage etc. Will this be enough? Should I upload photos etc? In my head it's a pretty clear case given the age of our children (youngest is 1)

The other thing I was hoping for help on was if it was worth using an agent? I feel like I could do it myself but given the money involved might like the peace of mind of professional help. Can anyone recommend an agent or give an idea of what they cost??

Thanks everyone for the help!

Thanks Mike, good to know, not sure if we can afford that to be honest. Have you found it to be a big help over all?

I decided against using an agent because it is pretty expensive. In my opinion applying for this visa is quite straight forward and do-able yourself, especially for you since you have lots of evidence that you have lived together with your partner and have kids. If you have questions there are always people you can ask and for anything tricky you can do a one off consultation with a lawyer if you feel nervous! But I really believe an agent is unnecessary.

also, the mortgage is great evidence especially if both your names are on it! And yes upload about 30-40 photos! Try to have other people in the photo’s as well to prove that your social circle is aware of your relationship.
