Hi I have been following this website for a while but never bothered registering. I am a female applicant for a partner visa. The problem with us Pakistanis is that we consider a person in authority to be a God. We all will deny this but this is how it is.. In our case, these case officers are considered to be gods who cant be questioned. Time and time again I have seen people too scared to even ask them for a progress of their application. This is ridiculous. These case officers are nothing but government employees who get paid to do their job. And being spouses to Australian citizens and having paid huge partner visa fees it is our right to get the best service available. The problem is that these lazy ass case officers know that we are too scared to question them. Some may say that they could be under resourced.. but why??? we pay huge fees for our visas. why cant they hire more people to work for them?? the department earns billions and billions in revenue from these applications and they fail to provide up to standard service to their clients. I say we all complain to global feedback unit if we dont get better service. I have been doing the same. If i dont get a reply back I complain straight away!!! Dont let your application lie in a pile of rubbish and let these case officers get away with it while they enjoy their tequila shots in five star hotels in Islamabad! Speak up and things will improve..
