I got my subclass 309 visa last week so right now am looking at the pre-departure requirements. I have some questions though, would appreciate any info on this -
1. Do I have to register at the CFO even though I got a provisional/temporary visa, not the permanent (subclass 100) one?
2. Do I have to attend the seminar/guidance counselling by the CFO even though my partner is not a foreign national/former citizen? My husband has a Skilled Migrant PR visa.
3. What else do I need to accomplish before leaving for Australia?
Thank you in advance for any help! Lost na lost na ako eh, can't seem to find relevant info in the CFO webpage.
PS. I got my visa 9 months and 2 weeks after lodging the application. I think that time frame is the norm now.. Nakakastress talaga mag antay pero hang in there! Darating din yan

1. Yes you need to attend kase migrant visa ang 309. Kaya lang naman provisional yan kase mapapalitan din naman yan ng permanent kapag nasa australia ka na. Magaantay ka lang normally two years from the time na naglodge ka ng application mo pero in some cases one year lang pwede na depende sa circumstances
2. Noong nagapply ako, Filipino din husband ko so yung pag attend ko lang ng pdos enough na.
3. Pdos lang naman ang kelangan oh and just make sure na beyond 6 mos ang validity ng passport mo before travelling kase baka hindi ka nila payagan magpdos kung less than 6 mos eh mageexpire na passport mo.
Hindi naman yata sila nagbago ng rules diba?so hopefully eh applicable pa din yan

Is that a big concern to consider in granting the visa? My husband did tell me not to worry coz we put their contact numbers on the forms and if the CO is having doubts, she just can easily call them.
But im still worry. (
