    @Mrshubs Can you share your timeline? what date did you logged your application?
  4. AsimMalik
    @Mrshubs no one knows their security check protocols, and if you have nothing to hide, you need not worry about that. I have never heard of any acquaintance of any applicant being called for any security check from anyone or on any online forums. @KLeanne where did you apply your application from? The duration of your application depend on your passport and location of the application.

    Hi y'all, Total processing time fr visit visa is 3 to 6 weeks. And virually the outcome of visit visa application does not affect spouse visa application. And spouse visa applicant can stay in Australia for the duration of the visit visa, but if applicant is in Australia at the time of spouse visa grant, case officer email applicant to go ofshore for 309 visa to be granted. In case, for any reason visit visa is rejected it does not affect 309 application, but it does appear in one's immigration history that a visa of a different category was applied and rejected, and based on the reason of rejection, your decision on 309 visa can take extra longer due to higher scrutiny and checks. Hope this helps, Asim Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

    There is no specific months or days for interviews, you can expect an interview call after your file is allocated to a case officer and it can happen anytime. I have not seen an interview update from peeps who applied in January or February, on average it takes between 5 to 6 months. We applied our visa in February and its almost five months now and we havent heared anything from immigration yet. Lets hope it is soon. Regards, Asim Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

    @henryolonga any update? did you receive a second call yet?
  12. AsimMalik
    @Mrshubs We filed our visa in February, still no interview call, no news, its just waiting game for us all now, @murtza4u Congratz, can I ask how long have you been with your partner? its highly unusual to provide 100 visa directly. and did they interview you both?

    Congratulation @ghaffarahmed @Earlgrey @Syed007 @Aymbi Wish you all a happy prosperous life,
  14. AsimMalik
    @Aymbi what location you applied? because getting an interview call just after a month of applying is incredible, I see people waiting for months (we are waiting for 4.5 months now).

    @ayesha Behna, it depend on your performance in the tele interview. for some interview was taken like right after a month and then granted visas after 10 months. for some 7 to 8 months wait on the interview and then grant in a couple of months. I think they are keeping 11 months to 15 months average on the final grant. but it is difficult to tell exactly how long will it take after interview.

    No worries, We have been waiting for our visa for 4 months 10 days. Its basically crossing off a day after day off the calender every morning and hoping they will contact us. But its part of the process, so we just have to be patient and wait for our turn. I would recommend if you can update your case details on the forum tracker. it helps us in keeping track of average time and trends in immi's decisions. though I haven't seen much activity on it for some months now, We would appreciate if you can click on the following link and update details with your dates (and join the club of counting days on that sheet ). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11QnNEZI57n1kMHc8z2P2FdZ781TtEukT7-JGWiQEqu8/edit#gid=1442502201

    3) living settings & evidence of continous relationship: is something that has been an issue in some cases. For visa officers, they are completely focussed on rukhsati as just having nikkah is not considered proper marriage. They ask evidence of rukhsati which would be fotos taken at your rukhsati. Also wedding photos of shadi hall to show a proper wedding reception was held. Also, the address on your NIC should match with your husband's (im sure you got a married NIC now). Just find evidence that you have gone through rukhsati and are living at his family house or at his place while you wait for the outcome of the visa, continuity of your relationship will be judged on the basis of your communication. As mostly people dont visit their spouses while waiting on visa, its highly recommended to keep a record of call logs, if not daily then every now and then in a week. And submit that every three months in one bulk, that way you dont have to do it monthly. Its very important to show you are still in touch with him. As for you havnt had any communication from immi yet, then dont worry. You will only get any email or call from them when your file opens up and a case officer is assigned. Itnormally takes 5 to 6 months so just wait for that and keep posting communication screenshots every 3 months. Also credit card receipts if u use it. Hope it helped, I wish you all the best..

    @panda286 2) Financial Aspect of your relationship: is second thing you will be assessed on. Its good you have declared that you work and that you are not dependent on your husband financially, but they still want to see you attach your financial present and future with your husband. That includes you and him sharing financial responsibilities. As such the only proof you can provide is a joint bank account (cauz you dont depend on him financially). Him sending you money is good even if receipts are date pre wedding, it doesnt affect anything, in your case, its a bit difficult to further show financial aspect of the relationship, but if you can get a joint account, then have it now and post its evidence with your application.

    @panda286 As for documentary evidence, your case will be assessed on three important factors. 1) Social Aspect of your relation 2) Financial Aspect of your relationship 3) Living settings and evidence of continous relationship, I will describe them in detail, 1) Social Aspect of your relationship: is the first thing case officer focus on, it includes the evidence that you have declared your wedding publicly. Evidence for that is your wedding photos, shadi and valima cards, and most importantly these days, evidence on facebook status change. Facebook one sounds weird but they check that, a simple google search of your name will take them straight to your facebook page, and it can be daunting to see your facebook status still showing single while u lodged an application as married person (though im sure you have change it already if not then I highly recommend you make sure to have it "married to" for your husband) and gather plenty of likes and comments from friends and take a screen shot and post it. It will form a strong case on the social aspect of declaring your marriage.

    @panda286 well it seems to me, probably you didnt research it thoroughly or didnt get professional help in your visa application. I'll try to explain from my research and experience. Your case strongly depend on your statements, im sure you uploaded a statement from you and your hubby, explaining, 1) how did u first meet him, 2) when did u decided to marry 3) what made u want tomarry him 4) when did u marry him, where did u marry him, 5) what is your current living and financial arrangements 6) what is your future plan and on his statement clearly showing that you two think this relationship will last and that you two have future plans together. im sure you made sure todescribe all that with actual dates of each and every event (it helps case officer in setting up a timeline of events in your relationship. Also as u mentioned u are working, clearly declare that in the statement that you are not financially dependent on him. Statement set the strong foundation of your case. As for documentary evidence..

    @fahad402 & @panda286 normally on average people from Pakistan get their case officer assigned and interviews taken between 150 days (5 months) to 180 days (six months). So hang in there, like us all. we applied our visa online on 22nd Feb 2017, its been 128 days and still no response yet. @panda286 if you have shown yurself to be yur husband's dependent than financial evidence would be required, like receipts of monthly remitance to your joint account. Also, every three months, upload money transfer receipts and your call log screenshots to prove you are still in contact while waiting on your visa and heis supporting you financially.. wish you all the best,

    @Aymbi Its been 10 months since you lodged it, official time on department's website is 11 months for 75% of the cases. I really really wish and hope you are one of those 75% and will get it soon. But, 30th June is End of Financial year in Australia, most departments are busy closing their financial books (I know this cauz I work in one myself). I think they would be busy in that. I really wish you best of luck. Would still like to ask if you can provide us with exact dates of your timeline we can update the tracker. it helps in keeping everyone in loop and we know the trend and expected time from lodgement to Interview.

    Yazan and Aymbi, Can you please update the Forum Tracker with your Lodgement, Medical and Interview Dates? It is at, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11QnNEZI57n1kMHc8z2P2FdZ781TtEukT7-JGWiQEqu8/edit#gid=1442502201

    Hi Everyone, I am mostly a silent reader, but I would like to ask a question. I am an Australian Citizen, I applied for my Wife's visa on 22nd Feb 2017. She is in Pakistan and the application was lodged online. Her medical was done on 8th March 2017. We are waiting from there onwards. My Question is, We know my wife will receive a phone call for the interview as an applicant. but will I be interviewed as her sponsor as well? Was there any case where both applicant and sponsor were interviewed? Will appreciate a quick response from someone. Regards, Asim
