Hi All,
Also been a silent reader, first of all thank you to everyone here who has been posting constantly with updates especially talexpat (congrats on your grant mate!) it has definitely been a hard wait and continue to wait.
I am an Australian citizen (Sydney) and wife is in Pakistan (Karachi).
DOL - 18th March 2016.
25th March - Medicals and biometrics done.
10th April - Further documents requested 888 forms and polio cert. (These had already been uploaded and supplied), wife uploaded again and advised them that they are already uploaded, polio cert was also requested and supplied at biometrics and medical.
DOI - Thursday 7th Oct 2016. Only wife received the call, about 10 min. General questions where asked ranging from my (sponsor) name, DOB, work place, where we got married and whom attended from each side, how many functions we had what our future plans are.
DOG - Still waiting.
I did call the immigration to get an update however was told the standard answer of its been forwarded to the decision maker and they cant advise a timeframe but advised it would be "soon".
Wish you all the best.
