Guest alameen Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Dear All, My skill is present in the VIC SMP list and I got the SS. I am planning to lodge the application. I need your expert advise. My wife is pregnant and I have two options regarding the visa application. 1) Include both of our details in the visa application. Once a CO is allocated, delay the medicals till delivery date. In this option DIAC might unallocate the CO at a later time. This is slightly risky. 2) Include only my detailsin the application and once i get a PR, lodge another application for a spouse visa 100. It might cost around 2 grants... Can some experts advise which one is a better option. or whether i have a different option. Thanks Alameen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alameen Cant see why you dont lodge application for both of you, cant see a visa been granted for at least 12 months so by that time your wife would have given birth and then do meds after. Am i correct in thinking you didn't want to put wife on application because she wouldn't be able to have medical because she is pregnant and you risk losing case office? If you wait for your PR, this could be 12 months and then the time to add your spouse on would be even longer. If i was you i'd get both yours and your wifes application in togethert ASAP.

Guest VickyMel Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you are married or living with a defacto partner you need to include your wife's details. From what I understand it does not matter if she is coming now later or never. Same with any kids by your current or previous marriage whether they are coming or not. They are your dependents and have to be detailed in the application. From what we have seen lying to DIAC would be taken very badly.

The more people who are on the Cat 2 thread the easier it is for all of us to see how DIAC is processing applications, if there is any order of any sort and things that are needed. Looking forward to all the folks from the other States coming over as well - horrific you still have to wait to hear. :hug: VickyMel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can some experts advise which one is a better option. or whether i have a different option. Thanks Alameen Hi Alameen Welcome to Poms in Oz. Your wife does not have to be a joint applicant for your own visa. However, if she is not granted the same visa as you, first you would have to travel to Oz in order to validate your own visa and then you would have to apply for a Partner visa for your wife and baby - which would mean another major visa application, a second fee payment to DIAC, a load of additional bureaucracy and additional, further delay until the whole family has PR in Oz. You cannot "fail to declare" your wife's existence and your relationship with her to your visa application. You must declare all that. Whereupon a Case Officer would want to know why you have not included your co-habiting wife in your own visa application? The CO would probably suggest that you add your Wife to your visa application and if Baby has been born by then, the CO is likely to suggest adding Baby as well. Is it worth the extra hassle and extra expense of making two separate visa applications? Cheers Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
