Before I ask my questions I just want to thank everyone on these boards for the help they provide, I have received a lot of help on this site for my UK visa (my old account which is now inactive) and was hoping to get some clarification on the 461 NZ family visa application my Wife and myself are in the process of making.
Background
My wife and myself currently live in the UK and have been married for 2 years / living together for 5 years, we have already been through the UK spousal Visa process and the Indefinate Leave to Remain process for the Uk so I am familiar with the visa application and evidence required from a UK perspective. We have now decided to move to Australia and due to me being a NZ citizen who was not living in Australia as of February 2001 the best avenue for us is the (New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 461))
I just have a couple of questions on applying for this visa that I would greatly appreciate any help with.
1) We are planning on making the application from outside Australia and since we are planning on traveling around NZ for a few months on the way to living in Australia I was wondering if it was acceptable to make the application from NZ even though we have been living together in the UK?
2) Under the section for health checks etc I noticed that the UK is under the low risk set of countries and therefore with a temporary visa of this nature it states no health checks needed. However whilst reading other posts I noticed that people from the UK have been undergoing health checks so was just wanting to clarify what the correct procedure is.
3) Evidence of relationship - I am assuming the evidence required is very similar to my spousal visa for the UK, ie common bills and letters to the same address etc, my question is what timeframe do we need to supply this evidence for (last 2 years etc)
Thanks a lot in advance for any help with my questions.
