Giving The "Right" Answers In A Marriage Visa App For Oz

[Latindancer]

I am Australian, and I am just about to apply for a visa for my wife to migrate to Australia.....Partner Visa subclass 100. We were legally married in the registry office here, as well as in a Buddhist ceremony.

I have heard that it's best to find out the "right" ways to fill out the visa application, in order to fulfill their requirements, but I'm not sure exactly what this means. Could someone enlighten me ? Would I need to provide too many details here, or is there a simple explanation ?

Also, it is possible to get a visa to enable her to be there while that first visa is being processed, isn't it ?

I do not know about Aus but I did 2 visas for my sister in law going to the UK. I answered each and every question truthfully. In both cases she got the visa within 4 days. :jap:

If you bend the truth then you will be eventually caught out.

This is a good thread discussing the subject http://www.thaivisa....ctive-marriage/

you can never ask to many questions. Here is an example from it

So what are the suggestions - visa options - for my fiance to accompany me to Australia for a couple of weeks in June on a family visit?

Maaaate! The fact that you have a partner application in cuts no ice in the embassy...If she isn't working then they're going to hit you up for the $15,000 security bond and the female officer dealing with the application will instantly assume that she's a "working girl"! Better to wait until she has her temp marriage visa then there is not so much nonsense!

Remembering that Bkk is a "hardship posting" for Foreign Service junior mandarins so they tend to get pedantic about paperwork and missed telephone calls.

My advice (for what it's worth) is to start on your joint story with many, many photo's and letters of support from Ozy and Thai friends all going back to the year dot! You can't have too much paperwork or photo's!

When my wife and I submitted we handed over 4 x 2 ring binders and continued to include photo's and letters (even after we submitted). The result was that we got approval 13 days after my wife's last interview!

You will be applying for the 309 and 100 visa at the same time.....the 100 visa or Permanant resident visa will be decided on after two years on the Temporary resident visa (309).

In regards to the forms.....fill it out honestly and apply the KISS principal...

regards other visas.....the 309/100 visa must be applied for offshore. You could try for a tourist visa and hope that it doesnt have a "no further stay" condition, but that is risky in that there is no guarantee it will not carry the condition.
