Any news????

Yes i hv tried is well it seems like more complaining department of immigration

Wondring what to select:confused:

Good luck Tasleem

Happy for you:rolleyes:

Well said Misbah i like the way you write down each and every aspect of case. This wait really testing our relation and your information about immigration is up to mark what i was assuming and what actually happening. Good luck Misbah and hope for the best soon everyone. I know couple of cases is well who are waiting for there response but not in this forum which mean there are huge number of applicants waiting due to which time is delaying. Thats true AHC earning high figure of ammount but why they not hiring new staff is a question.

What sort of security check is another valid point u raise in your discussion. Desperately waiting man and need alot of patient

Thanks for sharing your view man

Best regards

Any news? Anyone?

Still waiting nothing to say

Hi all,

 

I've been reading the forums for quite a while now, haven't posted too much, but tried to give answers where I can. But I've now received the dream email that we're all waiting for so thought i'd share a bit as I've really found this place amazingly helpful. So heres my story to far!

 

I'm in the UK and moving to Aus on a partner visa (my girlfriend being the Aussie!). We began organising all our evidence around June / July and submitted August 3rd 2016. We had been together just about 3 years at the time of submission, and fortunately for us lived together for all of it (as we met in house share and 1.5 years ago moved to our own place) and our evidence included:

 

1) Pdf documents with all relevant photos we could find of us out together, with friends and with family. This went back the full three years. This ended up as three pdf documents but with quiet a lot of photos in each document. But the point is, we put the photo's into a single document as their is a limit on the number of files that can uploaded. With each photo we said where / when and who was in so we could establish the social element and some timeframes. All organised chronologically.

2) Pdf documents of bills / letters / anything formal with either mine of my girlfriends name / address as well as letters from friends and family. Again this was split over 3 documents in the end, but each document containing quiet a lot of documents each, again organised chronologically. Some of the documents only had my name, some only my girlfriends but our aim was to establish we are both receiving letters to the same address.

 

- 888 Forms from my girlfriends parents and 2 friends

- Statutory declarations from my parents and 2 friends

- Then all the formal documents, scanned colour copies of passports / drivers licence / birth certificate all signed by a solicitor.

 

We tried to organise the evidence to be as easy as possible to read through and in fact actually formed a little chart with every month for the past three years down one side and where evidence could be found to form a continuous list showing either we were receiving bills, a letter, going to an event and basically build up a good chronological stack of information that didn't require them to go searching for things.

 

When uploading the formal documents (passport etc) we put it all (i.e. both mine and my girlfriends) to both my and mine girlfriends profiles. I'm not sure 100% if you're supposed to, but thought better safe than sorry.

 

We only had 1 year of solid continuous worth of shared formal letters such as bills. Before that we had occasional documents mainly as we weren't collecting them it was early in the relationship, but also our housemates were the nominated bill payers. But fortunately did have letters / cards from friends for before that as well as all the photos.

 

- Once we uploaded, within a 3-4 weeks my online profile had a note about a medical. I did not receive a specific email requesting the medical but took this as the go ahead. 2-3 weeks later that was done and submitted. Nothing special to report, bit pricey but there you go!

- About mid September (so maybe 6-8 weeks in) I had an email stating my case officer's name, some general info and requesting a police check. That was pretty quick to do, I think it takes 10 days from filling in the form, so got straight on with that.

- Around late October / early November my girlfriends section on the profile said approved and mine was still pending. We took that as a good sign, i.e. they're satisfied shes a real life Aussie.

- Next, mid November I received an email notifying me that my case officer has changed, but required not action.

- Finally, December 15th the email came granting my Visa and even better it's permanent which wasn't expected as I thought we'd just fall under the 3 year requirement for evidence so would be granted temporary status. Pretty amazing feeling when we got it. I had thought we would then have a 3 month window to get over there and activate which made me drop my load. But after reading it properly, we have until August 2017!! Which is perfect for us.

 

So all in all, around 4 months from submission to grant, no real correspondence other than two emails. One requesting a police check and the other notifying a change of case officer. The grant email seemed out of the blue but obviously welcome!! We had been anticipating a decision around June / July given the published timelines online.

 

So, I hope this gives a little insight to those still waiting or about to submit. Feel free to ask any questions, I just thought I would contribute as I have found the forum super useful over the past few months / year!

 

Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas!!!

My question is how we get visa in 4 months▪

We done the same process as you did with documents and submitted everything on time. We follow the right procedure but why it still delaying

Has anyone tried calling the AHC? What are they upto and why is it taking them ages to issue visas?any idea?

I hv tried many times in this week but they not answering the phone calls anymore....no reception or anything....very disappointed approach :ssign8::ssign8::ssign8:

No:err:

I m too much depressed.not happy with immigration policy and law about partners visa

Putting our relationship at stake....

Same happened with me and my wife:swoon:

I did try couple of time to ring them but there ph line are so busy now. Seems like everyone trying to b in touch with them. Anyway i email them yesterday and got reply that there is no such requirement to change any status to

approved in IMMI account for sponsor or applicant while the application is under processing. Once the application is finalised that sponsorship requirement will be approved by delegate in system.

But this morning my status as a sponsor showing "Approved" on immi account.

Other then that same wording visa processing time is between 9 to 12 month and immigration actively working on your case...

Just wait wait Wait wait Wait wait Wait

JK

How did you go with calling them?

Hi sorry for late reply

I was so busy yesterday with my business work. Therefore couldn't be able to get time for call them. I will definitely do it today

Hi

Thanks for your reply. No i just noticed yesterday and tried to check it on Immi account but was on maintenance schedule. Early in morning i got worried to see no status in front of sponser. But i will ring immi next week to confirm whats going on. They already delaying plus those things made us think more negative thoughts in our mind..

Thanks again

Hay guys i have read somewhere in the forum that sponser status must be approved after interview whereas mine one is same as before. I can't see anything after my name..have you guys any idea why is that?

Nice work..kerp yourself busy like this..time go quick:ssign3:

And would someone like to share that what city they are going after visa grant. Who knows we will see each other one day in Australia. I am from sydney and i have applied for my wife visa. She also a member of this forum but silently watching everyday whats going on...

]Jawad Khan :DOL 1st May/ interview 1st November

i know i am the last one in group you guys waiting longer then me. But hope if you guys get through first mine one not longer to go aftet that as i saw only one candidate of april in this forum :

Stay positive and hopefull

That what i can say only

EveryOne so quite in forum..

I can't tell you guys how many times i check this forum in a day to check whether someone post a message with a good news or still waiting. O GOD help us...tense moments for everyone that why immigration is taking so long

Plz notify us if someone got news abt visa

I hv rang them today..same answer. The application still in progress we let you know if anything required. No time frame nothing. Just wait and watch

I m sorry guys i m getting impatience now...can we do something to make a process bit quicker

Thanks

Be positive man..that worries me to read abt jan feb visa still pending..we knew it depends case to case so always hoping for best. I think couple of years ago. It hust take 6months to get the visa done but most of the cases involved with kids which I think would be a positive aspect for them to look at in individual case. I wish immigration could understand internal emotions and feelings of all of us and understand the situation that how hard is to be living a life in Susral without partners for girls..on the other hand living in Abroad in a circumstances where cannot do anything accept wait can make more confliction in all relationships related to you.

:ssign14
