We applied in January 18 from Islamabad and it’s been over 8 months now. We have had absolutely no contact from the high commission. Not even the generic email people seem to be getting on this forum by the 7th month. Not sure why it’s taking so long for us! 

I can understand what you are going through this wait is atrocious. I applied in Jan 2018 got generic email in August. You should get something too this month or may be next. I dont know seems like nothing much is happening in the embassy in September. May be its Muharram who knows

I have applied visa for my wife, her name on Educational document is little different from her Passport name ( as her name has 'Caste' attached in Educational documents only, so her name is like caste + Passport name) 

I have already mentioned this thing while filling the forms that her name is different on educational documents (caste attached)

will it effect the application ? or do we need to submit some additional documents for it ?

Any sincere advice ?

Get an affadavit mentioning all names of your wife in different documents and saying that this and this are the name of same person. If you go to Kacheri they have a format you can get it made easily and submit with your application. I did the same for myself when i applied for PR.

Hi all,

Can someone please guide me on Form 888, I have heard that it should be signed by someone who knows both husband and wife and he/she must be a resident or citizen of Australia.is that correct ?

In may case we don't have any mutual contact who knows both of us ? What should i do ?

Please guide me

 

You do have friends in Australia? who would know when u went for ur marriage and when it happened. You can ask any 2 of them to do 888. Just fill in that they were knowing about the process of ur marriage and all and when it happened and that you discussed with them about your wife.

Hi ,

Can you please tell me the date when you applied in Jan ?

 

I applied on 8th of January

I applied for Spouse Visa in Jan 2018 from Islamabad. The CO contacted me on 8th August for submission of all documents. I had already submitted everything at time of lodgement. The CO asked to submit last 3 month communication and financial support incase all docs had been submitted already. How close am i to receive a decision?
