I applied for 461 visa this Feb right before Covid-19 began. We got the acknowledgement letter. Last checked processing times were 25-33 months- extremely disappointed to see it would take that long, even if its a straightforward case. I really hope the offices are back open (wearing masks and those required procedures) and keeping the cases going particularly if its a husband and wife circumstance?
We have a lawyer who said they will get back to us with any new information this November.
Can anyone share their story if they had applied for 461 visa and how long it took for theirs to get approved? I want some happy stories- been reading too many sad ones!
Also is the processing times maybe faster for NZ citizens? I heard it is a little bit. Not too sure.
