Hello guys,  Does anyone know what is the timeline these days for getting 489 subsequent visa if an applicant is offshore?  any idea ?  All the relationship proof docs have been submitted and all other docs.  Is its wise to get my wife on visitor visa and then apply for her 489 ? ANy inputs 

Hello Akie, 

there is no specific timeline from immigration. The timeline varies from case to case, some people get grants within 1-3 months, some people get grants within 5-7 months, some people get grants within 9-12 months. On my case, it’s been almost 12 months, we are still waiting for the grant. The processing time depends on your immigration background and all documents you submit. Cheers 

Hello Guys, just let you know we have been waiting for 11 months so far, and our visa status is still showing “further assessment”.

This is really a frustrating situation, i was thinking of applying for tourist visa, but i will be waiting till July with hope of another visa.

I am not a pro or neither i have experience in these things, but i have read a lot about these things........If you don't have other option and if it is really hard for you guys to be away then you can always apply for visitor visa. but make sure you provide the strong evidence of him getting back after short time. Make a genuine reason saying you guys need to be together for example may be in the occasion of birthday celebration, may be anniversary etc, provide his official leave approval (employment is key factor of his return), His assets, relationship proof genuine, Joint bank accounts, your letter of support, your bank transactions, your payslips, his payslips, his bank details (if applicable) and book some hotel to celebrate that or something like that (may be your agent knows it better), again visitor visa is always 50/50 but it is worth applying, coz it will cost 142 aud and 19 working days. if visa is granted that will be good, if not you have to go to your immi account and tick the previous visa rejected box, and write tourist visa.

also note that if your spouse visa comes before tourist visa, then you have to cancel your tourist visa otherwise your granted tourist visa might be in effect and spouse visa will be cancelled. so these are the things which i know. But i think you will get your visa soon coz generally immigration provides more visa at the end of financial year so lets hope for the best.

and also we may write a letter with all your conditions and your intentions and upload it to the Immi account, may be they will read that and search for your file soon. i dont know, no one knows how the system works inside.

Good Luck

Hello Predip, thank you so much for your reply. The only concern we have is what if we got our tourist visa rejected, will it affect our current 489 subsequent entrant visa? We have been waiting so long, we don’t want to risk for tourist visa, that’s why we have been waiting and didn’t apply tourist visa after we submitted our 489 visa. The processing time was 5-6 months when we lodged our visa at that time, then it changed to 7-9 months, then changed to 9-12 months, and now it shows unavailable as the low volume of this type visa on immi website. We think our visa shouldn’t be affected by the new rules or new time frame as we already submitted. But immigration has a different story, they have been changing the processing time, and they say they process visa case by case, so no matter how long they change the processing time, we have to follow that. It’s so unreasonable, but it’s their deal, we can’t do anything.

hope for the best!

I feel you mate. Your case is very disappointing. It shows how the immigration not doing their job properly. (I dont know why it should take about a year for giving a temporary visa while a student visa finalises in matter of a month. pluse charging us 4k. This is really getting funny. Otherside of story is 887 visa which people are waiting  more than a year to get their visa. This is just intentional delay. 

To my knowledge, in this page no one awaited  that long. The longest cas was 9 months. 

some guys here wanted to apply for tourist visa, but dont know what happen if they did or not. 

Please someone that did apply for tourist reply this fellow. 

 

Thank you so much for your reply.

its really devastating

they just don’t reply your emails, don’t tell you anything other than it’s in process.

Is Anyone here waiting for the same visa for more than 10 months? Anyone here got tourist visa while waiting for subsequent entrant visa? Please share! Thanks.

You need to check through immiaccount ur lawyer might be not sure mate

Hello James, I don’t understand your point here. The lawyer  created the immiaccount for my husband and applied the visa for us, he told us that if anything happens the immigration will contact him directly, not us.

Anyone else here is waiting for more than 10 months and get no news at all? Please share your case with us. Thank you.

We don’t know the name of our case officer as we applied through a lawyer.

Just now, James1008 said:

Wereyou contacted any time for more information or what does ur status say in immiaccount

Yes, we got contacted for more evidence in July one month after we submitted our visa application. Every time we called immigration, they just told us our visa is still processing, nothing more than this.

its devastating waiting like this.

anyone applied tourist visa while waiting for 489 subsequent entrant visa?

Hello Everyone, I am new here. I have applied 489 subsequent entrant visa for my husband on 13/06/2018 offshore, It’s been almost 11 months so far, and we haven’t heard anything yet. We emailed and called many times to immigration, but they can’t provide any information other than your visa is still in progress. We are desperately waiting for this long and couldn’t even get an answer. My 489 visa will be expire soon and I haven’t applied 887 yet because my husband is still waiting for his 489 subsequent visa. I would like to know is it possible to apply a tourist visa for my husband at this moment? The lawyer told us it’s only 50/50 chance my husband will get the tourist visa ? Is it true? Or we just keep waiting? Anyone here have similar situation? Or anyone got tourist visa while waiting for 489?

i will be appreciated if anyone can provide some information in regards to our case.

thank you
