@Talentoo CONGRATULATIONS all the best to you and your partner

@Invicala Stupid question but as you've used a MARA should they not have direct contact or an easier way to contact immigration with your concerns.

If uve uploaded info and it's still within the 28days just hang in there. They sometimes come back to your application. If you don't mind me asking what did the request you provide more info off? If it was a police clearance hold on to the hope they will try and grant you the grant before the 1 you originally submitted expires.

Did u explain the over 21month time frame? Gosh i dont know what else to suggest. The timeframes they generally give to provide more requested information is 28days and even so, well in my case, they followed up with my police clearance. It is actually how we got them to understand why we wont be able to provide the information in the stipulated timeframe (we provided 1 using an alternative method).

@zea. If u are onshore try calling immigration. I did that last week and my entire telephonic experience lasted 23mins. They were very helpful

Thanx @spangle 1. Did you get PR and Partner visa together?

Hi all just an update my partner visa was granted just 5months into the stipulated time frame of, currently it stands at, 21-28months. Good luck to all. Things have been moving steadily so just keep the hope alive. My time frame is as follows PMV submitted of-shore April 2017 ((South africa) Request for NOIM and updated police clearance as well as more info March 2018 PMV granted 14 March 2018 Enter Australia 22 March 2018 Married November 24th (Bali) & November 30th (Australia) Submitted Stage 2 Partner visa 05 December 2018 (onshore) Request for more info by CO 27th February 2019 Followup on requested Police clearance 22 May 2019 23th May 2019 Granted Partner visa (subclass 802)

Hi There The same happened to me as angelpie. Once uploaded the visa was granted in no time. My application was done in South Africa.

@Zea maybe try corresponding to the email address that initially asked you for more information. Either address the email to the individual or quote your case number. Sorry it's the best thing I could think of in your situation. I found responding in this way to immigration got me responses in less than 48hrs. Telephonic attempts are not successful.

I applied in April 2017 and got granted my stage 1 in March 2018. Although I got only 1 response from my CO for additional info like NOIM 2 weeks later it got granted.

Hi there although your message wasn't directed at me I thought to let u know. I applied for my PMV stage 2 in Dec 2018. I got correspondence from the CO in Feb 2019. They requested more info from me like evidence but since I havnt heard anything.

@spangle 1 OMG congratulations. So happy for you. I'm still awaiting my grant notice. Yours was rather quick. I lodged in December 2018

You need to include pictures where the majority is the both of your.

@Lana90 it would be my pleasure.

It's a pleasure Lanna. I found I got all the help I needed from the people on this forum. The timeline is a good idea. Add as many pictures as you can. I'm not sure if it helped my application but I also included pictures that had the people from our 888 in them (I wrote captions to some of them). With my stage 1 my evidence was adequate as my partner and I didn't have to go through the interview however for my stage 2 (post wedding) they still required more evidence. We got married in Bali and then did the official signing in Australia so we provided pictures of both. It seemed not enough so in hindsight it could go either way. Just give them everything as long as they show the 2 of yourl in it.
