E3 Spouse EAD process

My wife has landed herself a great job and we move to the US at the end of the year. My question relates to Australian E-3 dependent visas and is for anyone who has had experience with the employment authorization (EAD) process. We are currently living in London, we are flying back to Australia for ...

UPDATE Obie, I should have taken your advise! I arrived at the appointment in Cardiff, I gave the case worker a brief summary of the situation. She advised she would have no problem granting ILR under the circumstance! This was great news, except I had not completed life in the UK test as it's not ...

Thanks Obie, Life in UK test booked and SETO Prem Service appoint booked for March 11. Does my wife need to attend this appointment with me? Also, under the category, would I select ancestry or other as ancestry really only applies to my wife? If ILR is not approved on the day, will they hold onto ...

One last point on this, I suspect you will still insist SET(O) is the correct form, if so, will I not then have issues with the fact I spent 18 months abroad in the past 5 years? This would not have been an issue with SET(M) but I think it is with SET(O). I must point out that not getting ILR is not ...

Thanks again Obie, I have been away for a few weeks and am now trying to get all of this together. My main concern is I am heading to Australia for three weeks on march 22nd and obviously cannot afford any hold ups with this. If I apply on SETO on the premium service and a decision cannot be made on ...

Can anyone provide any more help with this?

At this stage, I am thinking I may need to get some advice from an immigration lawyer as it appears my case which I thought was simple is actually rather complicated :?

Thanks Obie, From Bad to Worse :( So my options are FLR(M) fairly straight forward right? but this means another 5 years for Citizenship. Or SET (O) and risk being rejected, would I also loose the fee? Will they show any discretion under some circumstances or is it black and white? Or is there a way ...

Ok, thanks Again.

So in this category, I need to have lived in the UK for 5 years.
Does it matter that I returned to Australia for 1 year & 7 months?

Cheers

Ok, but how does husband of a British citizen fall into any of the below categories? Or is my application not based on my wife's status? If I don't meet any of the below, does this mean I need to use FLR(M) first? 1 FOR WHICH APPLICATIONS MUST YOU USE FORM SET(O)? Form SET(O) must be used if you are ...

SET(0) or (M)

Hi, I am an Australian citizen and have been in the UK for almost 5 years. 1.5 years Abroad from Jan 2009 - June 2010. My Current VISA is Accompany Spouse Visa dependent on my wife who had an ancestry visa, she now has her UK passport and my VISA is about to expire (March 26th). Can I go straight ...

Thanks Again CR001.

So I guess if I apply for ILR first, there is no rush to get BC. So I can do this any time afterwards.

So what is the advantage in applying for SET (O) vs SET (M)

As my wife now a British passport, I would have thought SET (M) to be the best route?

Cheers

Oh dam!

So ILR SET(O) £991
+ Naturalisation £851

This is going to get expensive. I assume then if I applied under FLR(M) I would still not be able to apply for naturalisation?

Visa issued 20th March 08
Exp 20th March 13

Travel March 22nd return April 7th

Thanks for the help!! :shock:
