How do you contact your CO? Only given her name in the acknowledgement letter.

Thanks for that Xara.

Congrats Rees!

Does it make any difference in the processing time for my wifes visa if im working in Australia or not?

I've heard from someone that this is like one of those hidden things... I mean people who are working are paying tax obviously so are they given priority?

My wife went to AVAC and submitted her application for visa on Thursday. Got the acknowledgement email from AHS and CO has been assigned just after 3 working days.

Really happy

After having done the medicals, do you post them or take the results aswell as passport/CNIC to the AVAC?

My wife gave passport photocopy + recent passport size photos with her application.

After submitting in your application, how long after do you receive acknowledgement from AHS and have CO assigned?

At AHC ISB

So how long ago did you Apply Rees? I mean, have you submitted your medicals yet?

Yea, the number i received looks exactly like that but when i enter it on the website, says invalid characters in VLN number.

I guess it just hasn't been put into the system yet.

Thanks for that though.

That's not too bad. Hopefully you'll get the visa within a month or two after giving in your medicals. Best of luck!

p.s My wife submitted the visa application yesterday. I guess it's gonna be a long wait for me =(

Congrats!

When did you give in your visa application?

Hi Sulmar !

 

This new style of lodging the application started on 10-Dec, 2012.

My wife lodged her visa application in AVAC Islamabad on 14-Dec, 2012. Since then it is nearly three months gone and we have not heard anything other than the acknwoledgment from the AHC Islamabad. I don't know if this new system will do any quicker or will be more or less the same. The processing time for a High Risk Country (Pakistan is among them) is 12 months. Let us see what comes forward.

Ah right, fair enough. Thanks for that.

Btw, I don't understand how you can track your application via the VLN number. I mean, the VLN number i received, when i enter it into the website, it says Invalid characters in VLN Number =s

Dear Sulmar

 

For females, they are taking 4-7 months at present..

Cheers!

The application process has been changed since a few months now in Pakistan. Was wondering, is the process going to be faster now or still the same?

My wife applied today for a partner visa 309. Anyone that's applied recently or might know roughly how long the process is taking these days?

Cheers
