Hi nyrem

I'll take a guess and assume these questions were directed to me. :wink:

I was told that the quickest that the girl I saw yesterday had known the application to go through was 1 month. This was obviously a clear cut case (of which I'd like to think my wife and I were one).

Yes, you will have to pay the Migrant Levy when asked to present your (husbands) passport for the stamp.

If you get a certified copy of your husband's passport you won't have to send the original (just incase you thought you did). But I guess if they already have the passport the way you suggest getting the stamp would seem logical.
