I applied in November 1st week 2018 for my wife. We had straight refusal on 5th Dec. The reason were... no joint bank statement, no proof of financial support or liability and shared assets etc. No support from friends. CO was Kimberly! Nasty bitch! Giving us so much pain in our life I can't explain.

 

I had uploaded marriage certificates, pics of wedding and reception and pics from honeymoon. Also had uploaded some screenshots of our whatsapp conversation. We still had refusal. We had no financial documents as we were newly married and our marriage was semi-arranged type. 

 

I have applied for the same visa for my wife again mid Jan 2019. We had CO, Sophorn, contact on 14th Feb, requesting for Birth Certificate and Evidence of Relationship again. We had submitted so many proof of relationship this time from social media, from wedding, all whatsapp conversation, gifts, financial support (money transfer), 888 form from 3 friends and the list goes on. Also he said, IELTS was expired although it was only 18 months old. Its stated IELTS should not be more than 12 months old. 

 

Anyway, we submitted again what he asked for, but we have no answer so far. We been away 6 months now. Honestly it's a joke. I have lost so much money, faith, time and patience. 

 

To summarise the rant, I just want all people out there to submit all proofs of relationships as much as you can. Take no chances! We have suffered and we are still suffering. 

Thanks

Hi Adds, I was following your visa application progress in the forum. I have also got a refusal on the similar grounds as your wife was. 

I got married on 13 Jan 2019 

Applied for 489 SP on 15 Feb 2019 (already submitted marriage certificate)

CO contacted  on 27 Feb 2019 for further documents for Health Assessment  & Relationship proof

Doc submitted on 1 Mar 2019 (marriage and engagement photos & Skype chat)

Visitor visa applied on 8 Mar 2019

Visitor visa granted on 5 April 2019 ( for 6 months)

Came to Australia on 7 April 2019 (staying with my husband in SA)

Refusal of 489 SP on 30 July 2019 (on the basis of not enough proof of financial and social aspects relationship)

Visitor visa valid till 6 Oct 2019.

Want to know how to go forward now or how to reapply as I am in Australia so should I apply as a onshore applicant?

Congratulations Zeee! Good to hear the news. 

Was your wife staying with you in Australia or was waiting for her visa while being at her native place? 

Also, wish you both a wonderful time ahead together...

Hi Mhk,

It generally takes 19 bussiness days for most cases, it should be there in a month doesn't take much of time. Just make sure the visitor visa comes first and 489 second, as your latest visa will be validated  i am also planning to apply for visitor visa for my wife, what documents did you submit can you share the checklists ??

Thanks,

Pradip

Hi Pradip,

Thanks for the information. Below are the additional documents that our agent attached for the visitor 600 visa:

-Passport - travel history document
-Adhaar card - national identity card
-Photograph
-Travel insurance for tourists
-HAP ID - Health assessment details which was conducted for 489 SP

Hi everyone,

I recently got married and my spouse holds 489 visa for SA. After marriage I applied for 489 subsequent entry visa and after that a visitor visa to go and stay with him. 

We got married on 13 Jan 2019 and applied for my 489 se on 15 Feb, the CO contacted us on 27 Feb and we submitted the asked documents on 1 March. 

On 8 Mar our agent applied for my visitor visa (600) using the same immi account. 

Since then there has been no response from the department. 

Can anyone guide me about the average processing time of visitor visa in such a case.

Thanks in advance,

Mhk, India.
