cartertucker Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Just bumping it up,congratulations btw Kelly!:wubclub: Thanks Pablo ~ :cute: Any help I can get is so gratefully recived ~ even if its just 'bumping my thread' :wink:
claireg Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Could you contact DIAC and ask them for an extension on your entry date? I don't know if this is possible or not but they may look favourably on your situation? I remember you posting on your other thread that a child visa can take 5/6 months at the moment to process so it could be worth a try. BTW, congrats on the baby, ours is due on 27th Jan but we don't have our visa yet so we are adding to our visa when born so can't offer much more advice i'm afraid. Hope someone can give you the answers you are after soon. Regards Claire
Guest VickyMel Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Kelly Big Congratulations on the birth of your daughter :jiggy: Sorry to be of little help whatsoever other than another bump... have you tried contacting your old CO and asking them what you should do? March is not that far away but I am sure you will sort it in time. Vicky
Proview220 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 this thread will become very crucial for many people, as many people on pio that I know of are expecting very soon.. Good luck, there must be a way round it. Proview
Guest mmleif Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 congratulation! contact DIAC and tell them your circumstance, you should be able to get your daughter visa/or a way to pass this. my story is different. I have TR granted before, and am currently applying PR. I had my son in Sept 2010, added him in the PR application, after few days, at the same time, I got the acknowledgement letter from DIAC about adding him in PR application, also another TR visa granted letter from DIAC for him.
cartertucker Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 Thankyou all so much for your replies :notworthy: I am going to contact my case officer that granted our visa in May ~ They might not be able to help ~ But worth a try :unsure:
Diz Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Congrats Kelly - I didn't even know you were pregnant!! Can the baby go on a holiday visa whilst her application is being processed - I thought you could get them for up to a year on an extended application. We go in February for good - our house sale is in the final stages, the shippers are in on 10th + 11th Jan and I finish work on 28th Jan. Keep in touch and let us know when you are over to validate. Donna x x :cute:
Guest Reed dog Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 When we got married after we lodged, we just had to enter a change of circumstance form to be added to our file. When we went down to validate, we had to travel with the original visas and carry the marriage certificate with us. The immigration officer at the desk sorted it all out there and then as the change of circumstance form was on the computer file waiting. Maybe you need to try a similar route for the baby.
cartertucker Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 Lovely to hear from you 'Diz'....:cute: What an exciting New Year you have too! :jiggy: Thanks 'ReedDog' I am emailing my old case officer ~ Just to see what they say/suggest :wideeyed:
Taz2008 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Good luck Kelly, hope you get it sorted. The CO should have some sort of solution for you. Let us know how you get on xxx
shazney64 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 hi Kelly congratulations We had our visa granted just before Christmas and have to validate before April 11. I am due my baby in 15 days, so our CO took away that visa grant advised us to get passport, have medical for new baby send docs them he will grant again but still have to be in Oz by April 2011. Scary him taking it back but we have it in writing. Saves us reapplying for a chils visa though . If you contact DIAC could suggest this???? Goood luck keep in touch x
