Thanks for your response Akie, our application is offshore and we have submitted on time all the information and documents that you and others have mentioned earlier. And it is more than 17 months now and we are still waiting for the visa!

Hi Akie, was it an onshore application?

Big Congratulations

Congratulations bud

Hi Avneet, The status is showing as 'Further assessment'. Last update was on 18th April 2019. And this visa application I have submitted through an Australian immigration consultants/agent. Even my agent has written to GFU last June and got the reply as 'no further requirements at this stage and the visa application is still under process/assessment!' Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Yeah, 3 times so far we have submitted our feedback and asked why it's taking sooo long to process? And every time the response was 'the application is still under process/assessment and we need to wait! And in July( 14th month) we complained again through GFU and the reply was - the application is still under assessment and no documents is required at the moment, and also they have advised to keep the communication with the dept. at a minimum so they can process our application faster, and the most frustrating (funny too) thing is they answered like this after 14 months of our application! ( I mean how fast ? It is 16th months now. Come on!) And now it is 16th month running. I have called the immigration minister office in Sydney and Canberra in July and they advised they will follow up! But...... Now Doha website is saying there is no standard processing time available for this visa! Don't know what's happening there!

Congratulations ... We have submitted all the above mentioned documents with the application itself (April 2018) and then after we have submitted Indian PC and Medical and throughout the year we have even submitted any updated information and documents regarding our marriage relationship. After 1 year (March 2019) CO came and asked for more relationship documents and we have again submitted all the requested documents before time. But since then no news at all! I have contacted immigration department numerous times with no real explaination about the delay. They are only saying the application is under assessment still, in our immi account it is also showing further assessment! God knows what they are waiting for!

Good day Folks, I'm new to this forum and was reading the issues and comments and everyone's different experience with the 489 subsequent visa. I have applied for my wife's 489 subsequent visa on 24th April 2018 early may 2018 CO came and asked for more Docs including medical and PC which we submitted on or before time. And then waited a long one year without any response or communication from the dept. at all! Then in April 2019 CO came again and again asked for more Docs and we submitted all requested documents on/before time. But since then till today it's over 16 months now that we applied this visa and still waiting for it. Any suggestions? Thanks Jit
