Hi Pete, Keith, Rob, Paul and all!

Advance merry Christmas to all!!! I hope you enjoy this season with your loved ones!!!

Something slipped into my mind one time, a possible question that i need some clarification of. My fiance has an existing immigration application in Australia. It is now ongoing. It was filed before we met. I am thinking that if there would be question for her by the ECO like, DID YOU EVER APPLY TO SETTLE OR IMMIGRATE IN OTHER COUNTRY BEFORE?

It gives me the idea that if she would be honest to say yes, it might go against her giving the ECO the idea to doubt her intention. If she says NO, which i think would be ok so as not to complicate the questioning and explanation, i am worried that they might have done background investigation with other embassies and they may have knowledge about her application in Australia. Do you, guys, think that is even taken or done by the embassy?

Thanks for yor help in advance!

You need to tell us more about this Rands for an opinion, you are quite right of course, why would your fiancee have an ongoing application with the Australian Embassy, what is that regarding ? its not for a fiancee visa with them is it ? probably not, but she would need answer on the VAF2 that this is her first application, and that she has not applied for a visa to go to any other country, you need to sort that out quick, or get her to terminate that application, or it might be picked up ?? let us know what that is about before we can give an opinion, but reading between the lines, I presume its not for a fiancee visa ???

Hi Pete,

Her application to Australia is skilled worker type, not related with fiance visa. It is completely different. There are two thoughts lurking into my mind. It could be thought of as an intention to simply go out of her country or on a positive side, it could show she is not desperate to go to the UK. OMG, i don't know what to think hahaha

Anyway, what do you, guys, think about it?

THanks!

I see your point, however I would dump it, if I were you, if your fiancee is asked on the form, is she applying for a visa with another Embassy, I think it does mention something like that, I would tell her to put NO.

They wont check it anyway, but as you say if its for a skilled worker, then it shouldnt impact on her application, but I can see why you might be concerned, thats good, best to check all these things out, but I wouldnt give it any weight if I were you.

Ignore it.
