if u r talking about Pakistan.Then only thing we can do is to wake them up.There are pple who are waiting for visas for 7 months and i m one of them.you can pressure AHC by emailing them and reminding them this is too much.All cases between april and july are struck up and AHC is sleeping.

Also u can lodge complains against AHC islamabad by this link::
Contact Us - Compliments and Complaints - Department of Immigration and Citizenship

Also call the AHC Islamabad.

i think we can't complaint as the processing time mentioned on acknowledgment letter is 6-9 months . second AHC Islamabad is not processing the application , AHC Bangkok are the one who are processing.

when did u lodge your application and what processing time you got in your acknowledgment letter ?

@iamk

this thread is about Timeline (309-Spouse visa) not student visa. well they have very strict policy regarding student visa these days, plus after 1st august Islamabad AHC dont processing student visa, its in Adelaide i think.

Honestly, I feel that the visa processing time is very subjective. I depends on the case officer whether to approve it immediately or not. But it would also help if your application is front-loaded. As for my case, I submitted a really complete application but I still feel that the efficiency of my case officer played a major part in the grant of my visa in two weeks!

I will probably send my CO a thank you card. Really. He's the greatest Santa Claus ever! (wink!)

Good luck to all partner/spouse visa applicants. I hope that it's also Xmas in November for you, guys!

Well that really depends upon your nationality or assessment level, to be precise. If you had the passport of Pakistani or Indian or any assessment level 4
country then thats a miracle tht happens once in a blue moon.

However if your passport is of level 1,2 or 3 then i believe thts not something unusual.
Well good luck any ways n have a great life.

Well any of other ppl who applied in bangkok got any response??????????
