HI Raj, I am sure that should be ok. Also, you should be getting the result in other 1-2 weeks. Good Luck! Thanks

HI RAj, Please get Statutory declaration from your friend in a proper format , also please ensure this should be signed by Justice of peace. I have done the same and it worked for me. Additionally , you can also submit bank statement as an addition proof. Thought, Statutory declaration in a proper format should be more than enough. you should get you PR within a week.

sorry! ha ha...I was in India only...I am thinking how someone could be here before getting the visa ( 489) ? OF-course am not talking about visitor visa. I was in Bangalore when I received my 489.

Hello SAnjeev, yes, This visa requires to be here. Else, I would have been granted the visa on 5th Sept itself . It got delayed for 9 days as I was overseas.

Applied on 9th Jul 2015, Co Allocated 5 Sept, I Was out of Australia, CO asked when am coming back, Visa Granted on 14 Sept 2015 as soon as am Back here.

Sanjeev- I have selected Adelaide as place of issue while applying mine ... I have got my PR as well...Now its all your call what do u want to write?

Thanks Sanjeev for inputs. Please see resposne from a Immi consultant stating this can be done - LODGING VISA PRIOR TO MARRYING You are able to lodge this visa BEFORE you are married, provided you get married DURING the processing time, which is currently 12 - 18 months. You do not need to be living together but need to show that you are a genuine couple and ongoing couple. You must show that you intend to marry and you must marry outside Australia... and Based on your information on your relationship with an Australian, you may be eligible for an offshore spouse visa to Australia. LODGING VISA PRIOR TO MARRYING You are able to lodge this visa BEFORE you are married, provided you get married DURING the processing time, which is currently 12 - 18 months. You do not need to be living together but need to show that you are a genuine couple and ongoing couple. You must show that you intend to marry and you must marry outside Australia. RELATIONSHIP BACKGROUND Where and when did you first meet? Have you lived together at all? Have either of you been married before? Do either of you have children? APPLICATION COSTS The costs to apply for an offshore spouse visa are: 1. The visa application fee of $6,865 for the main applicant, $3,435 for each child over 18 and $1,720 for each child under 18 years of age 2. Medical tests (approximately $350 for you and $300 per child) 3. Character/police checks (approximately $30) These costs are non-refundable if you do not have your visa granted. PATHWAY TO RESIDENCY Once your offshore partner visa is lodged, the 'two years' of temporary residency status commences. At the end of the two years, you can apply for a permanent residency partner visa.The processing time counts towards the two years I think we should able to do that as Now I Can apply the visa and documents can be applied once I get married. Normally it takes around 8 months to get a CO in this visa subclass.. Hence, I assume its ok if we uplaod the docs before CO assigned. I am confused hence thought to post here.

I applied after 2 years + 3 months ( days I have been overseas ) ... you should do the same.

Below are the response to your questions :- after applying for 887 you cant move to the other cities like Sydney or Melbourne until visa decision is made... Currently, its taking around 2 months to the 887.. you need below docs:- 1- to prove stay--- Home lease docs, if dont have this then Statutory declaration would do, I did the same, apart from this mobile or Internet bill can be used as an additional doc. 2- to prove job for 1 year-- salary slip, tax assessment form, letter from employer stating you have worked full time also specifying the duration. 3- Police clearance certificate ( Australia and Overseas as well). 4- A passport photo.
