The second stage of processing for the permanent visa 100 for my wife. DIAC forwarded

the required documentation about 2 months before the application deadline.

I received an acknowlegement that the documents were received about 7 days before the

date 2 years from the initial application. This is the application deadline.

Documentation was very simple and consisted of the following.

Checklist with the following documentation attached.

by E- Mail.

All communication can be carried out using e-mail and telephone to the officers extension

number.

you forward a covering e-mail.
