    Ok good luck my friend

    Please make sure you hire registered MARA agent and who has a good history of doing successfull appeals. I'm putting emphasis on agent selection because this might be your last chance. You may share the name of agent you hire, may be someone has exeperince of working with your selected agent. All the best to you mate. Lilly.

    Hi. I think you've provided all documents and interview done as well. I think by now you should have received visa grant email. Not sure what actually delays visa grant after so many info/docs submitted and even interview done. I wish you all the best. ------- My DOL 24 Feb 2018 Additional docs requested: 22 Nov 2018 Additional docs submitted 20 Dec 2018. No interview yet. ----------- Lilly

    I don't think asking about pet/dog would be a problem for CO. As a safe side, I would avoid asking any question from CO and rather stick to satisfying CO's questions. If your travel history to the countries you mentioned is like you lived more than 12 months in last 10 years then you provide PCC. If this is the case, then I guess it might take time to verify PCC but again I think it should not take enough time for verification including the 3 cities you lived in Pakistan. I don't think long travel history should be a problem either. I think as of now, your only relying source is your agent. I'm personally not in favor of using agent until the case is quite complex. I',m sure you're following up on regular basis with your agent. Wish you all the best. Hope you get the grant soon.

    Thanks for your response. They asked us almost same docs excluding pics and including some overseas PCC of sponsor (husband). I think we will be getting interview call soon as well. Looks like your CO and my CO is same. Good luck Lilly.

    Thanks for your response. Could you please also tell what they asked in additional documents? and how often your husband visited you since your marriage? Good luck !! Lilly

    You are waiting now for almost 18 months! Bravo on you and your husband !! Is Zarnab international migration a registered MARA agent? Did your agent tried calling ISB office for followup? This is really good that your husband visits you on frequent basis. I guess this is a solid proof of continuing and genuine relationship. Do you think for any reason your case might be considered complex? Good luck Lilly.

    Hi @tobeaussieIA You got generic email on 22 Nov 18, or it was an additional documents email? I'm asking because, I got additional docs email on 22 Nov 18 as I've already uploaded most of the documents of generic checklist before they asked us. My DOL is 24 Feb 18, and I think our case is almost on similar timeline. Would you mind telling your date of marriage? Kids? and also did you mentioned in submitted docs that you (applicant) has intention to work in Australia? And are you currently working in Pakistan? Am just trying to find any similarity between our cases. Good Luck. Lilly

    I think Home Affairs has created this page as a standard isolated page for all English language requirements. So they can refer to this page whenever there is a requirement for English language for any visa, for example, skilled visa, student visa and so on. What I'm not finding is, where they have mentioned English language proficiency as a "stated" requirement for 309 visa? I just had a quick look in Partner Booklet and I found below (only) for English language proficiency for 309 visa. In my understanding (which may be wrong), this is only for those 309 visa applicants who have intention to "work" in Australia. Also, the below excerpt is mentioned under "Sponsorship Undertaking", i.e. the one which sponsor signs at the end of form 40SP. So, in general it means, sponsor is going to give guarantee for providing support to 309 applicant for "attending English language classes" (first paragraph below quoted) and the 2nd para says, the applicant should "understand" that English is Australia's national language and applicant should have good proficiency in English if applicant has intention to "work". So I'm interpreting it that if applicant has no intention to work in Australia then proficiency in English is not required Or if sponsor and applicant has not mentioned anywhere in the provided documentation for 309, that applicant has any intention to work in Australia. Please note, I understand that it is a fair necessity for applicant to know English regardless of anything (stated or non-stated) as eventually applicant is lodging 309/100 visa with an intention to live in Australia. And to live permanently in any country, it is implicit that one knows the country's language. What I'm looking here is that, where has English proficiency is a "stated" requirement for 309. Below taken from Partner Booklet: And Note: I did not find any English language requirement in ISB office checklist. Please share if you've found. Sorry for long post. Thanks. Lilly

    Dr. Samra, thanks for sharing your experience. I think your DOL was somewhere in mid 2017. Did you used agent or lodged by yourself? paper/online based? How many times and how did you contacted immi to followup your case? It looks really bad when one has this much waiting time. I hope immigration will do something positive in near future. May be grant you 100 after this long painful waiting. Good luck. Lilly

    Thanks. Agree for initial PR for spouse. However, in case of partner 309 visa, I don't think it is a requirement.
  16. Lilly23
    Why they need English proficiency proof for 309 from applicant? I'm hearing this first time. We got additional docs email on 22 nov but they didn't ask any English proficiency proof or highest degree from applicant. Do they ask these two things (English proof and degree) from all applicants or just from those who show work experience? Thanks Lilly

    Really a technical question. As far as I know, there is a certain criteria whether to provide PCC or not. As I remember, they says, provide PCC where you lived over 12 months in last 10 years. If this is the case, i.e. she lived in hostel for more than 12 months in last 10 years, then I guess you have to provide her hostel address PCC. For PCC on hostel address, I think is best if you approach directly to the concerned police station or central office who issue PCC. Explain your situation to them and probably they might be in best position to guide you. They have encountered such cases (living in hostel) before also. Going to immigration might take time for immi to reply and probably they will ask to provide PCC. Good luck. Lilly.

    I was out of Australia at that time and I used number from this page. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/contact-us/telephone/outside-australia Good luck. Lilly

    You're welcome. Wish you all the best Lilly.

    When I was overseas and in same situation as of yours, I called immigration (overseas number) and the staff (after discussing with other staff member) informed me that "its recommended for sponsor to be onshore to apply for spouse visa". Now may be the case is different. Also, I've read somewhere in this long thread that some one (sponsor) did same from Pakistan and then moved after 3-4 months to Australia. I'm not sure what happened after then, you may search in this thread to follow up. But I would suggest you to directly call immigration number in Australia (waiting time may be long) and ask your query. You should get correct answer for your query. Please clear your situation to the staff so that they can give you correct advise. Good luck. Lilly.

    Thanks for your wishes. Yes, any movement from immi office is like an oxygen, a beacon of hope. It was an awesome feeling when getting manual acknowledgement from people who are working on your case. Good luck to you !!
