  1. Hi all. Thank you very much for sharing your feedback, experiences, and advice. I understand in the current situation (Covid-19) entering and leaving Australia is not easy as borders have hard restrictions. Therefore, our first priority is to prepare well and prepare for the worst case. The good thing is that we still have some time in the delivery of the baby and therefore we're trying our best to prepare mentally, especially myself so that I can give support to my wife. My wife has spoken to her GP and has discussed her depression issues. GP has also advised us few things on how to cope with depression and how to handle situtation. As others suggested, that there is no harm in applying, therefore, we will give it a chance and will keep our fingers crossed! Thanks again! Lilly.
  2. Thanks for your reply. We actually first assessed the option of flying to Pakistan, but after consulting with our GP here and some family doctors in Pakistan, we came to the conclusion that delivering the baby will be better here mainly due to the health facilities that are provided here are very good, plus my wife has developed gestational diabetes due to pregnancy and her consultation doctors here are following with her to control her diabetes. She needs to attend the hospital whenever the doctor calls her. Don't you think we should actually explain the case to the case officer with the supported documentation and maybe they issue visas on compassionate grounds? Thanks. Lilly!
  3. Hi. I and my wife are expecting our second baby in August 2021. Our first baby is 10 months and it will be difficult for us to handle things during the delivery of the second baby. Therefore, we want to call my mother-in-law from overseas on "Visitor visa (subclass 600) Sponsored family stream". Due to the current (Covid-19) situation, I understand entering and leaving Australia is not easy. But at the same time, we need my mother-in-law to be here with us during the delivery time as my wife is already feeling very depressed due to the things we will face during the delivery of our second baby. The delivery is in August so maybe things will get better by that time? As vaccine has already rolled-out. Also, we live in Perth and here the situation is comparatively better than the rest of the country. My mother-in-law lives in Pakistan where the vaccine is already started. Maybe she can get vaccinated before she comes here. Please advise. What can we do to make our case strong? Bye. Lilly!
  4. Yes, contact the local MP as your application has crossed the global timeline. This is not a bad idea at all. However, as others pointed out, arranging a short visit to your partner could be a turning point for your case. As far as I understand, the department takes this visitng thing very seriously. A member's (Jibran) visa was rejected just because he didn't visit his wife & son for over 2 years. You need to show/proof to department what is the priority for you; studies/work or partner? It might not make sense but I think this is how the department assesses the cases. Good luck with your visa. Hope you'll get it ASAP.
  5. This is one of the major reason why Indian & Pakistani visa process have lengthy timelines https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/urdu/en/article/2019/08/06/citizenship-applicant-wins-appeal-after-failing-good-character-requirement Although its related to citizenship case but several such stories can be found for Partner visa as well.
  6. I did my skilled independent immigration and then partner visa myself. I didn't hire an agent as I think they're just there if your case is complex and/or you're too occupied to prepare your application by yourself. If this is not the case, then I think it's just a waste of money. I did take consultation on my Partner visa from a well known MARA agent and the agent gave me some good advice as well one wrong advise/feedback as well. This left me with an experience that being a MARA agent doesn't mean your case is perfectly presented to the immigration. Anyways, I wish you and others good luck.
  7. Your DOL was just one month before me, therefore, I was following your posts here as well. And I realized that your case is delayed because your agent is not writing/pushing the CO. I remember, you once shared here that your agent is waiting to complete 22 months (or whatever max time) and then he will contact CO. I think your agent is just saving his/her reputation with the immigration, that if he will contact immigration frequently, then his reputation will effected negatively and his other cases will also be impacted. This looks a very selfish apporach to me. Good luck.
  8. @Kina Sa and @Ifseh Your timelines are way too much. You guys need to take serious actions in order to get visa ASAP. I would advise you below two points: 1) Contact/Use local MP channel for priority processing. Search previous posts in this thread where members have discussed how to use this option. 2) Try to visit your spouse, means spent some time (weeks, months) together and upload pictures to immiAccount and notify your visit to CO via email. I've personally experienced that visiting spouses, and spending time together while the application is in progress, leaves a very positive impact on your application and you'll get the quick decision on your application. Finally, please keep praying, hajat nafils, and wazifa as I believe they have a real impact on our affairs. Good luck.
  9. You may take consultation. But I think not visiting your husband is probably the main reason for your visa getting delayed. Good luck.
  10. Congratulations :). its may be because our DOLs were 23 & 24 Feb 2018. Also I think visa grant notification email was scheduled to be sent on weekend i.e Friday 21 June 2019.
  11. I reckon "No" because the sponsorship process didn't completed successfully because you had withdrawn your sponsorship application. Assuming you've already provided stat dec stating the same withdrawn scenario. Good luck.
  12. Thanks @aaminahtariq95 and @Ahmad @Ahmad I uploaded PCC few days before Eid i.e on 2 June 2019 and received visa on 21 June 2019.

Good luck to everyone. Please don't lose hope. Do not disheart and keep following your application with the dept. When communicating with dept. please be polite, friendly, and understanding. They'll hear you well if you sound polite - Lilly.
  14. Congratulations!! Very good news. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely life with family
  15. Guys this is so disturbing behaviour of Home Affairs. On what basis they keep dragging certain cases? And what benefit they get by jumping the processing queue? Someone said to me, we can apply for the FOI Act on our cases, so at least we will know what is blocking our applications to process. Anyone has any info on FOI so please share. Thanks.
  16. I think upload again and also tell them that you had already uploaded these pcc. AFP i got in 3 days. Attach at immi a/c. Good luck
  17. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing wonderful news. Good luck for your future life.
