We applied from Pakistan We are married for under an year I applied for the visa 2 months after marriage Did Rukhsti and waleema on August, before grant. From my posts it sounds like I am applicant but actually I applied on behalf of my wife and did most of the paperwork if any specific questions, you can ask

Alright guys, here is my timeline: 17 Dec 2017 - lodged 18 Jul 2018 - generic email 04 Oct 2018 - interview 04 Oct 2018 - grant
-
not yet mate
-
17 Dec 2017. Still waiting. No call or grant yet.
-
Generic email doesn't mean much. I applied December and got generic email in July. My friends applied in Jan and Feb they haven't got generic emails yet. I believe they do cases on a month by month basis. December applicants haven't gotten interviews yet according to forum. I'm guessing anyone who applied after Dec 2017 won't get a generic email until next month or so

I don't think it matters. Its good to attach a letter under other documents explaining the difference. I used to live in KSA at some point and all my KSA documents had wrong name, wrong spelling, wrong date of birth etc. This included police certificate, KSA visa etc. I explained to immi the reasons why this is in a seperate letter. In the forms I didn't say I had a different name because it wasn't true (similar to your name + caste, my issue was it was my first name + father's full name on all docs). Immi didn't mention anything and got grant (this was for subclass 476)

Seems like it from this thread ? Am waiting myself... last I figured November 2017 is processed... anyone who lodged on December 2017 got a response? Please mention interview or grant

Pretty sure if you click on the username of whomever you wish to send the message, you will open their profile. From their just click the message icon.

Hey. No immi account was not updated. I did read somewhere maybe in this thread or elsewhere that this email doesn't show up in immi account. Immi account only shows updates for official communication (e.g. application received) or further information requests from case officer apparently. Yes two months since that email will elapse by tomorrow (although I am counting weeks and it is currently the 9th week, quite a brutal wait I must say :/) Sure will keep it posted here
-
Hey. I also applied for my wife from Islamabad. My timeline is almost identical to yours. Applied: 17 Dec 2017 Email received: 18 Jul 2018 No call received yet as well. I will update if I do. Please update if you as well.

I am unsure how much bank balance should be shown. Depends on your stay duration. I guess 6000 is a safe bet for the sponsor. For the applicant, depends on your status. If you are working, then payslips and latest statement should suffice. Refer to the document list for best guidance.

Hey. You just mention in the application form that you have already applied for a subclass 309 visa (if you wish). Do not apply for a subclass 309 visa if your wife hasn't been overseas before or doesn't have a job when she is currently living as it dramatically reduces the chances (I think overseas travel is more important). I had my subclass 600 family sponsored refused primarily due to not demonstrating strong financial roots and no prior overseas travel (my wife is in uni so unsure how I could prove otherwise)

No they don't refund fees
-
Thank you for the clarification and information ? I'll keep my timeline updated as things go. So far no call.

Just wondering to those who have got the interview. How do they contact you guys? Will they pre-arrange a time over email or will they just randomly call and you need to pick up the phone there and then? My timeline so far: DOL: 17/12/2017 All docs submitted including biometrics/medicals: 15/01/2018 Generic email: 18/07/2018 Uploaded missing docs as per generic email: 13/08/2018 -- Also, I uploaded a couple of other docs after the above date... does uploading documents later push you back in the queue? I don't think so but what do you guys think? Filed in Islamabad, Pakistan
