Sorry to hear that Ben.  Is it worth considering applying again and suing your Agent for failing to properly represent you?

They should have exported evidence of the uploads in my view, not to do so looks pretty lame to be honest.

The agent did everything right. For some reason the uploads didn’t attach to the visa application but unfortunately we didn’t get any notification from the embassy that this was the case and they just refused us. But if a joke really. As when you do the appeal u get email confirmation of everything you upload.  Why they can’t do this for the actual visa is beyond me. 

We even used a Mara agent so the agent knows what they are doing as been doing there job for over 12 years. 

also £4K to reapply. So far has cost us £6.5k.

Oh Ben, that’s is horrendous- I’m so sorry to hear how you’ve been treated. I wish there was something we could do to help. Keep asking advice and questions. Someone here may be able to offer a bit of useful info or advice that may help. You’re in my thoughts. X

I know been a nightmare just upsetting to see everyone getting there’s when it was the embassy’s fault ours was rejected as we didn’t get any notification they had not received any evidence from us when we did the upload. 

Dont know where we stand now until we hear about the appeal but been told could be up to 18 months until we hear anything on that. Then god knows how long after will be until we actually get the visa. Nightmare 

Nice to see everyone getting there visas. Looking more like 2 years for mine. 

Here was my post from April  have appealed the decision in June with the AAT but been told will take up to 18 months to get a court date for the appeal then go from there I guess  whole thing been a nightmare 

It’s shocking the way the whole system

works. 

Just want the process to hurry up looking like a 2 year stint now. Wanted to know if anyone else has had the same problem being rejected after 4 weeks of application. Surely a simple email to say we haven’t received your documents you have 7 days wouldn’t be that hard 

Yes the Australian high commission 

I was given 70days to appeal the decision which I have

the case has gone to the appeals tribunal in Australia and we have to await a decision from them. 

My agent said could take up to 2 years.  

Hi all. 

Ok so I applied for my partner visa on the 6th March 2018, my Mara agent sent all the supporting evidence along with the visa application and as far as we knew all was great 

after 4 weeks we received an email from the embassy with a refusal letter stating they hadn’t got any of the supporting evidence 

there was a note on the log in page on the immi account that some clients were experiencing technical difficulties uploading documents but as far as my agent saw everything had been uploaded 

We applied for a refund to which they refused that  we are now in the process of appeal  it has been 2 months since we sent the documents off 

has anyone got any experience in this section with regards to how long the appeal will take   

We feel like after paying £5.5k not one person at the embassy has even looked at our application and due to an error there end we are suffering because of thus 

The whole situation is terrible the way the embassy have dealt with us  and to see on this forum someone else applied a month before us and they were approved within 23 calendar days 

any help would be appreciated
