PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100)

violet

awww was hoping to be in Australia before my husband's birthday on February but probably will just expect the least.
is your application already approved na po ba?
Thanks for this, we are expecting for at most 3 mos. but apparently its impossible.

violet

Hi All,

Just want to ask the immigration requirements for the emigrants before leaving the country po. Kindly share your experience po.
Thanks

No Violet, neither are approved yet.
Only saving grace, is we were married more than 3 years, prior to applying, so she will get 309/100 PR approval at same time, so no 2nd stage wait.
Thought we would have got a TV by now, but not this week, so next week is start of 10th week.
Cheers

violet

Hi Homer,

Is that why its taking too long because she doesnt need to undergo second stage?

chinorn

@paul16francis approved Na po Ba visa mo sis?

rhycka

Does it take longer if may kasamang anak sa spouse visa application? Dec 29 2014 kami ng apply. Still waiting pa po..

chinorn

A March 2015 applicant just got her PMV approved yesterday..:-) any Febuary applicants got their visa approved yet??

chinorn

300 and 309 same processing time..

homer363

Hi all,
Violet, no they process as a 309, and take around 10months, the fact she will get 100 immediately after should not mean it takes longer. There isn't any more processing, it is automatic as a matter of policy, as we had been married over 3 years at time of application.
Rhycka, it doesn't take any longer if you have children included in the application, as long as they were included in the beginning, and there are no delays because of custody issues with other parent.
Chinorn, 300 an 309 are meant to be same, but we do see 300 being done quicker.
Unfortunately, other countries embassy's all have different processing periods, some quicker some a lot longer.
I am estimating mine will be Tuesday 27th October. Why?, coz this is the sort of crap you do when waiting.
Cheers

chinorn

@homer363 thank!:-) we have been married for 4years and we have a 5 year old daughter.. We applied last Febuary.. And it's still in the final stage.. I don't know how long we have to wait.. :-(

@violet - Cool! I have a waiting buddy now I haven't done my medicals yet. No request received from the embassy but I managed to find my HAP ID with the help of one of our members here. I might just go ahead and do the medicals next week.

I also ordered the NSO docs online last week. The status just says 'Processed'. Does that mean the documents have been delivered?

homer363

Violet, don't beat yourself up about the choice of applying offshore. If you were granted a TV, it more than likely would have had a " No Further Stay" applied, which means you could not lodge an onshore partner visa anyway. Its a horribly biased system against High Risk countries.

violet

@ady thats good, i've requested my NSO documents via phone call and it was received by the embassy after at most 3 days upon payment. you're my waiting buddy now.

@homer, yap that makes sense. thanks for cheering me up.
anyways i'll just spend my time at work while waiting for the visa.
im considering applying for tv but since the busy season for accountants just started im finding it hard to decide if i should apply or not.

homer363

TV's are taking 10 plus weeks at the moment, so you should apply, you can enter at you leisure after it is granted.

violet

awww thats roughly 2 months and 1/2.
btw @homer, just want to know as well if my license as an accountant will be honoured there. do i need to undergo exams or should i take additional units or any assessments?
Thank you.

rhycka

Guy, just wanna share my happiness.

homer363

WOW Rhycka, that's great, not sure whether to cry, my wife's was lodged online 24TH Dec, hope it will be out soon.

rhycka

Oh typo error dec 29 2014 pla not 2015... it will be granted soon homer.... God is good.

homer363

Violet, general accounting within a company as a financial officer, bookkeeper or accountant you will be fine. To do taxes, you need to be a Registered Agent, hence you would have to work as a nominee of an Agent, for a qualifying number of years.

homer363

Whooo Hoooooo
Got our visa , Permanent Residence, 100 , straight up, as we had been married 3 years prior to lodging application.
2 days short of 10 Months.
What a blessed day.
Dec 24th 2014 to 22 October 2015, 309/100.
What a wake email.

violet

@homer congratulations!! @rhycka congrats sis.
thank you thats a big help, yap im a financial accountant here in the philippines, i believe i need to study your tax scheme as well and law to practice taxation.

hope mine will be granted soon.

rhycka

@homer363 we're the same. got 2 visas approved at the same time 309 and 100. @violet thanks sis. Yours will be next.

happy_gal

Wow congratulations @rhycka and homer363. Can't wait also to get my 309 and 100 get approve.

happy_gal

I still need to wait a couple of months

homer363

@rhycka Yes when you said yesterday yours was approved, your post was around 3.30pm, so I thought my agent was in Melbourne, where it was after 6pm, but Perth time is same as Manila, so was thinking I would wake to the email, and I did.
Spooky thing also, in my email this morning, was an email from Cebu Pacific Air, who I use to get in and out of Clarke airport.
GOD does work in mysterious ways. Blessed day everyone, maybe NUTMEG will get yours today.

Congrats @homer363 and @rhycka!

@violet - we're near too, just 9 months more (noooo, pwede mga 7 months lang or less pls)
Also, may I know how you found out that immi has already received your delivered NSO docs? Does it say anything other than "Processed" when you enter your confirmation number at ecensus.com? Thank you!

violet

@ady- nope they didnt send me any notifications or anything even though i paid additional to vfs to inform me via text. lol.
i just called the nso hotline, then confirmed to vfs, same thing with my medical, i confirmed first to the clinic then to vfs but unfortunately they said they have no way to check if the medical result was already sent but surely it was because the clinic directly sends the result once its completed
