@SamuelJBarker @ScottMorrisonMP Yep, it's an absolute joke, from someone stuck in this expensive and silent queue.

@ScottMorrisonMP given the Aus economy is going to now suffer from reduced migration, perhaps it’s time to sort out the woefully inadequate partner visa situation to encourage more Aus citizens and their partners to return to Aus to work and live? See tweets below for the problem

2/3 Lets compare with @AusGov process: My UK application cost myself and my partner £149. In Australia (I am an Aus citizen) it would cost $7,700 (£4,280). My UK application took 3 weeks. In Australia, 24 month processing time.

1/3 Pleased to say my application for an EEA Residency Card was successful, which gifts me work rights in the UK. I needed to prove my relationship was "enduring" for "de facto status". Compiling the evidence took some time but it took less than three weeks to be approved.















A JW Elder has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for sexual assault. Partner Alan Collins asks, "Given the seriousness of the offence, why did the Jehovah's Witnesses still refuse to assist the authorities?" @abuse_justice bit.ly/2z1idIB


@SamuelJBarker >> but we will come back to you in time for your trip. Regarding your invoice: we cannot send you automatically these from our booking system due to the modifications in your booking. We have to make these up manually which can take a while. Thank you for your understanding.


@KLM It does not help. I have done this and it says "Unfortunately it is not possible to request an invoice" and directs me to my travel agent, which I do not have - I booked direct. This is why I am spending so much time trying to get someone from your company to deal with this.
