Did they just e-mail you or send you a letter?

Oh and did they give the permanent visa too?

I'm in a similar position been with my boyf for 7 years and had lts too except some stuff which my boyf took back with him to oz. They might be taking a bit longer becasue they may be processing it straight through to a permanent.

Can't help you with the number sorry I haven't even bothered to use it at that price. Just used the e-mail. I'm sure it'll be fine you may just have to wait. If they didn't ask you for anyhthing then i'm sure they probs just processing it.

Good luck!!!

I'm ringin around tomorrow to get refernces and academic transcripts so I can get a job as a teacher. It's all such a faff.

Hi, sounds like I have the same CO as you - Monika. It turns out that she did send an email on 29th June, but it did not come through, so she resent it yesterday.
If you neeed to call for any reason, you need to call the £1/minute number but they answer really quickly and I was only on the phone for a few mins to sort it out.
All she asked me for was the police certificate, which I have already sent off for and are expecting next week, so fingers crossed.
Good luck to you too, and keep me updated on your progress.

hi I applied for same visa in February and got permanent visa approved in 9 days! was amazed. Me and my partner are married - been together 9 years - my husband is australian. Had medical in advance and attached massive folder of evidence including pictures and wedding receipts, joint mortgage, accounts etc. Sent my police certificate in a few days later and then they granted the visa. We move out to perth on 31staugust this year! not long now - really should start getting organised!

Does that mean you can go before then like now for instance. or do you have to wait till Jan 2010. Sorry if this question is dumb.

It means must enter australia and activate this visa before Jan 2010 - can go anytime from now up till that date - we fly out on 31st August. Flights are booked! Have used our previous air miles from visiting australia to upgrade to business class for first part of journey to dubai!

we are heading for perth. My husband was born in oz but came over here with adoptive parents when he was 6. got back in touch with his real mum when he was 18 and that is where she is based with her family so going to be staying with them for a while until we get sorted/ v v nervous though but excited too
