S A

No Complications I am Australian Citizen never overstayed in Australia or any other country has permanent Job Wife is applying for Australian Visa for the first time she never overstayed in any other country.

 

All additional documents required in September were submitted to AHC within 4 days of request. Still no response

Thats frustrating! My wife had her interview at the end of November. We have been waiting since then. AHC havent even asked us for any additional documents. Don't know why they're taking so long to finalize cases.

My Wife had 2 interviews in September and November DOL 30/12/2014 still no response for last 2 months AHC is saying case is with decision maker GOD knows what is happening . I don't trust staff at AHC Islamabad anyway

Did u have any complications in your case?

Is there anyone waiting for their visa who had their telephonic interview before december 2015?

got my visa grant today

DOL: 28/06/2015

Congratulations! When is the latest date you have to travel to Australia by? And did you apply online? Can u also plz advice when u had ur interview?

Do many people have interviews? I wasn't expecting one....hoping not to have one!

Most applicants do have interviews. One of the applicant I know applied at the start of June, had interview at the start of this month and was granted visa in a weeks time after the interview. Your interview might be near too. The interview isn't hard. They ask general questions relating to how you two met, your future plans and etc.

Update!!!!!

 

We got ours today!

Congratulations! Thats a very good news. When did u have your interview??

Does anyone has any updates this month???

Thank God and finally wait is over. Visa Granted........

BEST OF LUCK for all of you guys waiting for their visas and you all hear good news soon.

Great news! Congratulations!!!! Did you apply online or was it a paper application? Also, when is the latest you need to enter by?

Hu Everyone,

No update on my side.

Hi SA

 

Any update from your side. i also applied for spouse visa at the end of MAY

Hi Mashfaq922,

My wife was called for an interview last week. Two days later, one of the person who filled in the Form 888 got a call as well. Nothing since then. Whats your timeline???

Hi,

 

Visa granted. Almost 8 months.

 

Good luck everyone.

 

Regards

Great!!! Congratulations!! That is good to hear. I am still waiting for the interview call. Applied at the start of May.

Hi User Name,

 

I have not been contacted by any case officer.

 

I think, application would be finalized at local AHC.

 

Regards

Does anyone has any updates in relation to their application?

HI,

 

Just get the grant notice for 309. Applied 25 Nov 14. just wondering, do we require visa label ???

Congratulations on the grant!!!! You don't need a visa label to travel for australian visas. Can you please share when your interview was done and are you a male or a female applicant?

Hi User Name,

 

I also had seen one, a spreadsheet of key dates for partner visa.

 

I think it is still there, not sure how often updated.

 

Here is the link:

This spreadsheet hasn't been updated since March 2013.

I agree that the AHC have been taking more time of late to finalize the application. I applied for my wife's visa on 3rd May 2015, and we are still waiting on the interview call. And having seen your cases, I am wondering how long it would take after the interview to get the visa grant. Even though I am hoping its not, but looks like a long waiting time lies ahead.

Did AHC contact you two as well for an interview or just your wives?

I am australian citizen, my wife applied for partner visa on 22 april 2015, had interview 3 months ago, submitted additional documents.

I called AHC 4 weeks ago, they reply it is ready for final decision

 

Any chance that senior migration officer has initiated length checks etc. What is normal response after moving to final decision? thank for your response

Hi ghaffarahmed,

Did you apply online?

Hi S A,

 

No, there is no update. Just waiting.

 

Its ready for final decision, not sure when they would be able to.

 

Would love to see if anybody else has a grant recently.

 

 

Any update from your side?

 

Regards

No update on my side. I am waiting for the interview call.

Female applicant being myself the sponsor.

Hi shahzadmoh,

Any update on your wife's visa application?

Hello Dear Members,

i am really worried about my visa application. As I applied for spouse visa sub class 309 on 12 apr 2015. Biometrics were done after few days. Since then I have not recieved any call or email for medical or further documents required by Australian high commission. I have applied online through immi account. It's almost 6 months .. But I have not seen any progress in my application status. It's APplication Recieved on immi account.

Hi Bushrahaad,

You have done everything on your part. There is no standard way of dealing with applications, therefore don't stress out. Unfortunately we cannot do much about the wait time except to wait patiently. Even if you try calling the AHC, they will say that the CO will get in touch if they need anything. Having said that, you can always give it a try and contact them regarding your application. You'd be lucky if you get a different reply to their standard response.

Hope you get your grant soon. As far as I have seen, it does not take long after the interview to get the grant.

Are you a male or female applicant?

Hi All,

 

I have noticed there are no updates for some time, is there any grants recently?

 

Regards

I suppose everyone is just waiting patiently. I applied online on 3rd May 2015. Biometrics done on 10/05 and medicals completed on 27/05. Haven't received any updates since then. What is your timeline? And did you apply online or sent a paper application?

Thanks aussiegirlbay I just wanted to contact them because AHC ISB do not seem to care the way they talk and other members on the forum have at least got an interview call or CO assigned to them my wife visa medical was submitted in jan 2015 and will expire in 12 months she will have to travel for 7 hours each way to the closes medical center considering the fact AHC ISB did do any thing to the application.

It seems that the AHC Isl are taking more time to assess online applications as compared to paper based application, which in my opinion is unfair. The fee paid for both the applications is the same and therefore the processing standards should be the same too. I have seen people who have sent a paper application get visas within 5 months, but am yet to see anyone who has applied online to get a visa within that time frame. This prioritizing of paper based application should be noted on their website so that people applying for these visas make an informed decision as to what kind of application to send.

no had face to face interview in june, since just waiting

DUA did u apply online?? and can you please share your timeline?

:rolleyes:

Any updates?????

Hi All

I am so happy today, my wife's visa got approved today. Thank you all so much for all the information and support throughout my journey....

Best of luck to all the people waiting on their visas.

Great news!!!!! Congratulations!
