Hi,

I'm filling the form 47SP of my "to-be" wife. I have below queries. I appreciate if someone could share his/her feedback.

Q22) Your current residential address: Should we give her parent's house address as after wedding she will stay with her parent until she gets her visa?

Q24) Address for correspondence for processing of Second Stage visa: Should we fill this now? And do we have to provide Pakistan address or Australian address?

Q32) All other members of your family unit: Will she include me (husband) as well or just her family (parents, siblings)?

Q57) Have you and your fiancé(e) or partner met in person: Ours has arranged marriage and we only met each other over internet, but first meeting will be on our wedding day. It says in a Note: "If you have only met over the internet, tick ‘No’."

 

Thanks,

Shaheen

If you have only met by internet, only Nikkah or No Rukhsathi yet then there is high chance that they will refuse your visa. Consult, an immigration consultant or seek expert advice before lodging your visa.

Ok that's good if you are aware of that. That was just my advise.

Q22) Your current residential address: Should we give her parent's house address as after wedding she will stay with her parent until she gets her visa?

Normally, Dulhan resides in her husband house with his parents and occasionally visits her parents. That's how it is normally there in Pakistan but don't know in your case. 

Q24) Address for correspondence for processing of Second Stage visa: Should we fill this now? And do we have to provide Pakistan address or Australian address?

Don't worry about this at this stage. Provide you current Australian Address when asked for.

Q32) All other members of your family unit: Will she include me (husband) as well or just her family (parents, siblings)?

As she is the applicant she is supposed to provide her parents and sibling details when filling her form i.e.  47SP 

You might also be asked to provide your parent and sibling details when filling online sponsor form.i.e.  40SP 

Q57) Have you and your fiancé(e) or partner met in person: Ours has arranged marriage and we only met each other over internet, but first meeting will be on our wedding day. It says in a Note: "If you have only met over the internet, tick ‘No’."

Already answered.

Please ask others and again seek expert advise as well as I may not be 100% correct. 

Thanks

Thank you Misbah for your detailed response. In my case, as after marriage, we will spend some time together but once I return to Australia, she will stay with her parents. That's why I think, we should give her parents address here, but I'm worried that Immigration guys at Islamabad make it as a factor of the doubt for the non-genuine relationship. 

[murtza4u]

Inta sannata kiyo hay bhai, any update?? 

[RIWATY]

No update as of now. Lets wait and watch some grants may be in coming next 2 weeks. not having much hope as department will slow down their work because of financial year end. Anyways lets see what happens. 

[murtza4u]

Any update guys? 

[CharleyOz]

Just applied for 309, 10 mins ago, so 22nd May 2017.  From Singapore.  it will be interesting to see how the timeline goes here.

I've now got instructions to go do some biometrics and my immi account has updated to require a health assessment.  

I was literally typing a new thread on here, because the screen initially said that 'no documents are required' so I panicked and thought I'd done something badly wrong.  Luckily that's now changed, so I can start uploading everything.  

[RIWATY]

Zain any update??
