The information that your husband has been provided with is correct. Unless you are permanently separated his visa will be refused due to the one fail all fail rule. Even if you are listed on his application as a non-migrating dependent you will still require a medical which will mean the whole application will fail. Non-migration dependants require medicals due to the health waivers that are in place for partner (&child visas), people were putting family members as non-migrating to get round them failing the medical then sponsoring them, this is the reason non-migrating family members require medicals. You are in a very grey area if you provide this letter if not 100% true as if in the future he then sponsors you for Partner visa and this is questioned about the solicitors letter his visa may be cancelled if it is investigated that it was not true. You need good professional advice on the best way to proceed, George Lombad and Peter Bollard are the agent that are best recommended to deal with medical issues with visas. Proceed with caution if you do provide this solicitor letter if it is not true.

4th and 18th December, you prob just missed the 4th.

Supprised you didn't get an invitation in this round, as the last visa effective date from the 6th Nov invitations was 11 Sept. Results not out for current invitation round. I would query with your agent the exact EOI date.

No do not include the children as non-migrating dependents. Non-migrating dependets require medicals. There should be other family members section you can include the children and wife with listing them as Australian citizens.

Other points to consider is that you will not be entitled to full Medicare until you are PR, and have to rely on reciprocal Medicare if from UK, which is generally for emergency cover. Also so you will not be entitled to any child benefits you might be able to reveive as a PR. There re are a number of threads on PIO just now about people on 489 visas now re-applying for 189 paying the whole visa applications again.

If the 489 is the family sponsored one you will be able to live and work in the city it is only the state nominated that requires to work regionally. But it I would still wait for the 189. Another thing to consider is once you meet the requirements for the 887 and apply you can be waiting up to 6 months for the PR to be granted.

How many points do you have. Is it the 489 family sponsored you have been invited for? Personally I wouldn't go for the 489 if you had enough points for 189, 489 would be last resort visa if required the extra points. Family processing can be slower, it may be harder to get a job as not a PR, don't have the same flexibility with the move as you need to meet the requirements for the 887 before the 489 expires. Few things 489 is a provisional visa and no school fees required (school fees only for 457 visas), don't think being on 489 would stop you from buying a house. Cost of applying for 887 is currently $370 for main applicant $185 secondary, but you will need new police checks and possibly new medicals when apply for 887.

As long as you can show you have booked the medical within the 28 days but uploading letter from Hospital with booking details. Does Shawfair Park not do medicals at the weekend?

From the current partner booklet.https://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/1127.pdf Permanent Partner visa (subclasses 100 and 801) For the grant of the permanent Partner visa (subclass 100 or 801), you can be either in or outsideAustralia. This is the case whether you lodged your original application in or outside Australia. In most cases, permanent residence cannot be granted less than 2 years from when you lodge yourapplication. You may, however, be granted a permanent visa without having to fulfil the usual two-yearwaiting period if: at the time you apply, you have been in a partner relationship with your partner for 3 years or more, or 2 years or more if you and your partner have a dependent child of yourrelationship; or your partner holds or held a permanent humanitarian visa and you were in the relationship beforethe visa was granted and this relationship was declared to the department at the time (applies tosubclass 100 visas only).

Yes will likely be your best option. Skilled migration would be cheaper but by the time you factor in English tests and skills assessments it could work out to be about the same. As you have been married for 8 years and have 2 children your wife should be granted permanent residency straight away. If you are not planning on moving for another year it would be better to apply offshore as there are usually price increases on these visas on 1 Jan so lodge sooner rather than later.

You will need to fill in form 1023 incorrect information with the correct dates.

New UK passport and a resident return visa for your spouse visa so you can re-enter Australia. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/155-

Do you not just include the information regarding expired passports in form 80. They do not need to be uploaded only current passports.

28 days to organise them, one of my police checks was not back within the 28 days and I uploaded evidence that I had sent for it and they emailed to say to upload it once it was received. All this information will be in the request from your CO.

Until CO requests them.

have you and your girlfriend been in a defacto relationship for the last 12 months, basically like being married without the piece of paper, living together, joint finances and liabilities? The graduate visa would likely be the better one to start, better than a WHV anyway. The other option rather than being sponsored would be 189 skilled migration visa. This is not tied to any employer and you would likely be the easiest to be the main applicant on the application. You would need your skills assessed by Engineers Australia and to sit the IELTS test (can do this at Aberdeen Uni but tests are only once every 2 months). Option 1 then if things work out in Australia to apply for Skilled Migration 189 would be your best course of action. If you are currently in a graduate role staying in it to finish your graduate scheme would be the better option, and hopefully give you more experience to getting a job in Perth. Once you reach 25 you will get more points for age through the skilled migration. But out if you and your girlfriend can not show defacto relationship she will not be able to be included in the graduate visa application.

No.

Before Skillselect was introduced with the occupation ceilings I read that on each program year for skilled migration 60% of them were accountants. Each year it is expected for accountants to come off the SOL.

There is no 2 year visas, a Working Holiday visa which is one year for ages 18-30 would be only one available for your son, if he works for 3 months in a regional area doing specified work I.e. Fruit picking he can apply for another 1 year WHV. But to be able to migrate he will likely need to be sponsored by an employer which for some hairdressers it is difficult if the salary does not meet the income threshold. As for your other son it all depends on what he is studying if he will be eligible for a visa in the future. As for yourself I'm not sure which type of visa you are thinking of?

From their website your case will only be handled by a MARA agent if you are in Australia if not it wll not be therefore you be no comeback when they mess up your case. I would try try and get my money back and use a reputable registered agent.

No ...UK does not have national identity cards - leave blank.

No In order to satisfy ACRO requirements, you application must be endorsed by an individual employed as one of the following or similar professions. Your endorser cannot be your partner or a family member (no matter how distantly related), must have known you for a minimum of two years, and must be eighteen years of age or older.

yes do your IELTS now it is valid for 3 years for visa purposes. Normally 2 years for the skills assessment. Bridging visas normally have the same conditions as the current visa you are on and only come in to effect when your current visa expires not cancelled. If your visa is cancelled the bridging visa will also be cancelled. As you are on a 457 visa, your husband has a condition he must work for the sponsoring employer. So after he is made redundant before the PR visa is granted he will only be about to work if he can find an employer to nominate him for a 457. If your current visa has quite a bit of time left you will likely never be on a bridging visa. You will still be able to work on the 457 visa as you are not bound by the same conditions only your 457 sponsor as you are the secondary applicant.

Deffering the medical is your choice, but having an X-ray while pregnant is not recommended therefore most people defer until after the baby is born. As you are currently in Australia and looking to lodge application quickly you could go and do your medical now and get the medical id attached to your application after it has been lodged. Medicals are are valid for 12 months, so if you do it now hopefully you will have your application granted before it expires. Also if you manage to gain PR before baby is born they will be an Australian citizen at birth if born in Australia. If you do decide to defer the medical until after the baby is born, you are going to have issues with the 457 visa being cancelled and may end up on a bridging visa with no work rights. Best speak to a registered migration agent to get thing done in the right order as if your husband has already lost his job you have 90 days to find a new sponsor or leave Australia. There is a lot of complicating factors with your situation and getting them wrong could mean that you may end up being unlawful in Australia.

You should probably include the module transcripts/certificate from when you were at college, and your degree certificate and transcripts. It is your full further education history they are looking at even if the points are not assessed for the qualifications you did at college.
