@jesslovesyou..Processing of spouse visa is 6-9 months, so u are still on the processing timeline.. Ung iba nga jan waiting na for almost 10months.. I understand that u are worried about ur coming wedding next month, but I think pwde pa ma move yan.. Dapt kasi nag apply ka noong November pa or early than that.. kasi hndi m namn hawak ang processing ng visa m.. So pwdeng abutin ng 12months ang processing depend sa case m..

But anyway, I know na pwede pa ma move ung wedding date m..

Goodluck sa application m..

Just a piece of advise to those applying for a Fiance visa, magbigay ng malaking allowance sa date ng wedding from the time u lodge ur application.. Hndi pwde na paglodge ng application bilang agad ng 6months lg den date of the wedding agad.. Kasi hndi namn constant na 6months lg tlga ang processing time.. So put an allowance as much as u can pra hndi mataranta at ma stress sa paghihintay.. Just a piece of advise lg poh...:)

@gin05 kmusta na yong sayo? me update ka buh? nakakainip at nakakairita talaga mag intay, ako dito hindi pa naka tanggap nang any email from them.. well sana good sign yon na satisfied na sila sa aking mga napasang documento. wag mo kaming kalimutang balitaan huh hehehe

gin05

@icancurhalo wala narin akong update from the embassy...hindi ko nalang din muna kinukulit kasi nasa timeframe pa naman ng processing ang application ko...baka mainis sila..:-) tsaka wala narin ako natanggap from my Case Officer, sana nga rin ok na yong sa akin..Yeah, sure...update2x lang tayo lahat dito kung may progress man sa application natin.. :-)

gin05

Hello po, ask ko lang po yong mga nakapag migrate na sa AU under spouse or fiance/fiancee visa...narefund ba yong lahat ng ginastos niyo sa VISA application? nabanggit kasi ng asawa ko na itago ko raw yong lahat ng receipts kasi may nakapagsabi raw sa kanya na posibleng ma refund yon.. :-?

nfronda

@gin05.. As u have lodge ur visa application offshore, I don't think so if pwde masama yan sa tax refund.. Then u have lodge ur visa by March 2013, so kung gus2 m xa e claim dapt by this yr as end of financial year is already quiet approaching..

Just like me, my visa application was onshore and lodge May 2012. So when i filed my tax refund last July 2012 nasama xa but only the DIAC processing fee, not 100% but narefund almost 50%.

icancurhalo

@nfronda wow are you sure? you mean like since my partner have paid my partner visa fee in the DIAC there in Australia last March 2013 then he can add it up on the claim of his tax return this July?

jayralvarez

@nfronda Hi! My partner also paid for my Partner Visa in Australia, do you think she can also claim for Tax refund this July?

elena05

@nfronda is this applicable for fiancee visa?? or just the partner visa??? hehehheh

nfronda

@elena05, @jayralvares @icancurhalo this is applicable for all visas lodge onshore.. Which means sa australia inilodge and not offshore.. The one who can claim this is the applicant, not the one who paid the application fee.

jayralvarez

@nfronda oh i see. thank you!

jayralvarez

Hello everyone! Matanong ko lang, pag "married" na ba need pa yung copy ng chat logs sa fb/skype as evidence or sa nag-aapply for fiance lang yun?

Eleigh

@jayralvarez hello i think need din un, supporting documents dn un e, kasi dba may cases na nag ppakasal lang ng dahil sa visa without the intimate rel. so i think u should submt as well best regards and Godbless to all of us!!

jayralvarez

@Eleigh thanks! Yung chat logs kasi namin from 2005 pa, mula nung mgboyfriend-girlfriend palang kami. I sent pictures of us using skype then photos from 2005-2013 as well. My wife is a Filipina. Ang hirap na ma-retrieve ng chat logs namin from 2005, 78k messages na yung messages namin sa fb up to this day.

Eleigh

Wow ang tagal nyo narin pala kaya mabilis dn yang process ng papers nyo.. Ung smin ng bf ko sobrang dami dn.. Syempre nd mo naman kelangan ipresent lahat ng un ang gnawa ko nalang.. 2-3pcs of convo in each month then nlgyan ko nalang ng labeling para maintndhan ng case officer ko.. Bsta bear in mind nalang na walang idea ung co about sa relationship nyo as in wala, syempre u have to do ur part na maiintndhan ng co m ung case nyo para mablis maprocess best effort ikaw nga

@Eleigh wow, that's fast.. ano pmv ba ang inilodge mo or partner visa? Sana me result kana pra naman kami nang mga MARCH applicants maibigay nadin results namin.. hehehe.. ano palang ibig mong sabihin nang complicated case na sinabi mo kay RF_angel25? kasi yong sa aking side, I lodged my partner visa last MARCH 27,2013 like 2 weeks after I arrived back here in pinas from my 3 months tv in Australia with my partner. same sex kami, we both been in the relationship nearly 2 years now, he's been here in the PHILIPPINES twice, we got engaged, and i've been to aussie twice too on both 3 months tv . i've meet his kids in person as well as his mom with photographs .. do you think complicated yong case namin?

RF_angel25

@icancurhalo i think hindi complicated ang case nyo kase open ang australia for same sex marriage...yung sa akin naman both my gf and i was both separated from our previous marriages...bakit hindi ka sa australianag lodge ng visa while u were there...i guess mas mabilis pag dun.

RF_angel25

@icancurhalo *i mean same sex relationship

icancurhalo

@RF_angel25 oo nga, nanghihinayang talaga ako na hindi namin nilodge yong application ko doon kasi I thought na sa 3 months TV ko hindi pwede, I just found out that since wala namang NO FURTHER STAY na nakalagay sa visa ko noon I could have done that then I wouldn't have to come back here in pinas, now im suffering the loneliness and the pain of being away from him. sana naman hindi masyadong matagal yong processing sa visa ko, mag e-email ako sa embassy by the end of the month to ask for the progress of my visa and whatever they're gonna say I might apply for the TV for 3 months again so I can be with my partner back in aussie while waiting for my partner visa being processed. BTW RF_angel25, were both of your previous marriages annulled ? sana me result na din yong sayo kasi October pa yong sayo, parehas pa naman tayo nang inapplayan partner visa under de facto.

jayralvarez

@Eleigh Yep, medyo matagal din yung relationship namin bago kami nagpakasal. Do you have an idea as to how I could pass our chat logs, since nalodge ko na yung application ko? Wala pa akong CO, nag-aantay pa. Medyo nakakapraning lang mag-antay. Hehe

icancurhalo

@jayralvarez hello po, you can call the VIA center and asked them to pick up your additional documents, that's what I did as I forgot to include the emails of my partner and I had, and then my police clearance also. Hindi na ako nag intay sa kanila na e request yong police clearance ko kasi I know naman na required talaga yon.

RF_angel25

@jayralvarez yes tama ipa arrange mo na for pickup kase ako tinawagan ako ng co ko to print all our communication via skype, fb, and text messages...
