Guest JayCook77 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi guys, My fiancee has received an email requesting meds and police checks, which we have forwarded to the case officer. Hope all goes well after this. Can anyone tell me if they were asked to provide anything else after this stage was passed? I can't wait to have him back here!!! Without knowing all the stuff you have sent already its hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 his initial entry date is 20th August, flying next week tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JayCook77 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 his initial entry date is 20th August, flying next week tho How does it work with working if he comes over earlier? Has he got to wait until August 20th ??? I only ask as I have a job to go to in Aus and its much better than what I am resorted to doing now, and if possible I'd like to get working after a week of getting back over there so we can save some money up for spending on our honeymoon.

Guest Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 no it just means that he has to have made initial entry before 20th August, in order to activate his visa, so thats the latest date he can arrive, but this visa allows him to work, get medicare etc straight away, so if he wanted to he can work the next day after he arrives next week! Once you get your visa granted, the email you recieve will tell you that, just to put your mind at rest, i did just read his again to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get your visa granted, the email you recieve will tell you that, just to put your mind at rest, i did just read his again to check Why do they call it the initial entry date if its actually the last day you can enter before your Visa might be cut off, Why don't they give you TWO dates, IE the first date would be when you are allowed to enter from (incase it is granted more than nine months before your wedding date) and the second date would be the latest date you HAVE to be in Australia, calling it the initial entry date has confussed me something cronic for the last 6 months...LOL I am SOOOOOOO glad you have been able to clear this up for me, You can probably imagine how jittery I have been these last few months and worse since starting my application officially, Now it feels like a huge date has been lifted off my shoulders and I SOOO Don't even care that I have to wash dishes for the next few weeks while I wait for the visa to hopefully be granted cus I know I will be booking my flight within minutes of getting my passport back from them with the Visa stamp.... Thanks AGAIN!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 no worries, good luck with everything! He booked his flight before his passport even got sent back! that only took 3 days aswell incase you need to know from when he sent his passport to when he received it back! I know it is very confusing the whole process is really! They do give you 2 dates, the second date is when you have to be married and have applied for the second part by! so ours is 3rd Dec 10, 9 months after his visa was granted (3rd March) CONFUSING!!! but we managed so I'm sure you'll be right! Good luck with everything, marriage and visa! where abouts will you be living? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 jay, just a quick thought, ive read some of your previous posts, u do know you have to marry within 9 months of visa being granted? ie me and si will must marry and apply for 2nd visa by 3rd dec as we got granted 3rd march..... i read somewhere that you were hoping to marry feb 2011? maybe a bit tight....

Ozmaniac Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Jay, in another thread, I've just asked you the same question that carla has asked in the above post. If you have firm plans for a wedding on 5th February 2011, you need to contact your CO to see if you can arrange for your visa to be granted after 5th May this year. If you get it any earlier than that, you'll have to move the wedding forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason our wedding was booked for Feb 2011 was because we had read inplaces that the Visa took up to 10 months to be processed and we wanted to have a couple of months or so for me to get into work and get settled in before the wedding, Now that we know it takes a shortyer time we are worrying aswell, I am hopeful that they will give me a decision by the middle of May and I can fly out by June time, That gives me at least a month after our wedding to get the second part of the Visa started.

As part of the application for the PMV you have to have booked your marriage date and got a notice of intent to marry, I doubt very much that Immigration would ignore these dates and I expect they wont grant me until after 5th may at the earliest anyway.

Good luck with your wedding and I am only looking into getting the paperwork together for the second Visa not actually applying for it, I expect the end date of my Visa will be very close to after my wedding so I just want to be prepared with any paperwork I need to bring with me from the UK.

Hettybetty Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hellooeeeeeee, We applied for a PMV 300 in June and we were told the wait would be around 3-4 months from our CO. I have looked at other threads on here and the partner visa processing time seems to have been set at 5-6 months now, does anyone know whether this is the same for the PMV as it is a temporary visa? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hettybetty Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi Justin, We are in the same situation, I'm in the UK and my oh is in Australia.The wait drives you crazy, logging in everyday checking for mail. They took the money in a couple of days but it was then probably another week before I received an email from our co. They told me then that it would be 3-4 months wait. Hopefully as you put your application in during the new financial year and during the lead up to the election then what they told you will still stand. This is good news being told 3-4 months a week and a half ago!! We are going to contact our co when we have done two months wait to enquire as to whether they would let me go over on a tourist visa and then go on holiday somewhere when my visa is given. Waiting for another 2 months is going to drive us to distraction. Please don't do anything they'll take your police cert off you :-)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Justin, I spoke to my co today and he confirmed the news - 5-6 months for us tooo :-(. He said I could apply for a tourist visa and so I think I will do this towards the end of September. I am going to stay here for a month of two and get some supply teaching work and then go over on a hol. My pennies will start to disappear if I keep popping over and back again too often. Doing something for a couple of months will stop me checking my mails during the day and so it can only be a good thing!! I need to keep my mind occupied!! :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest attusa Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi everyone, Just wanted to give a quick update and need some advice too! My fiancee and I are getting married in 3 weeks (yay!). It's been a long process but we're so glad we did it. But getting married also brings us to the next step in his Visa application (and more paperwork!). Just wondering if anyone who has already been through the second stage of the application can give me some advice about police checks. My fiancee and I got all the police checks he needed at the beginning of the year for his PMV application, which included and Australian Police check. Do we need to get another Australian police check for him as he has been in this country for the last 7 months? I dont mind getting it again, just want to make sure so I can start organising it now. I'm also assuming that he doesnt need police checks from the other countries he's lived in as he hasnt been back to them and already got those police checks last time. Would I be correct in assuming this? I hope everyone else here has been having good luck regarding their applications. It's time consuming and nerve-wracking, but in the end it is definitely worth it!! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
