Ebrahimmk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hey all, I want to know how much time does the immi takes to update passport details after visa is granted. I know the application process for this and form 929 but there is no mention of time they take to update. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Don't bother, just staple the old and new passports together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasepom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Only issue I found is with getting citizenship when you have to hand in your UK passport pretty much and get an Aussie one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi, we had a similar question, I managed to update my passport prior to our visas being issued, but my OH couldn't as he needed his for work. His expired two months after our visa for PR was granted. He now has a new Passport and our case officer just said to travel with both. The visa should electronically show on the system with his new passport number because the Technology is so super clever, but quantified it with - but sometimes it doesn't always work so we suggest you travel with both. Just in case! They don't update the systems in Oz to show your new passport details, they just rely on the Passport IT system which i guess works world wide, that your new passport will be linked to your old one - or something teckie like you have the same name, dob, and face????

Ebrahimmk Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Airlines confirm our visa status before they allow us to board the plane. I am just worried that with the new passport they would not be able to link our visa. I just dont want to run in to complications and delays are the airport and then trying to explain and re explain the situation. That would be really bad!!!! I would still like to know how long does DIBP take to update the new passport details on their system. It just gives a rough idea when to book tickets to be on the safer side.

JEM44 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Our email from our CO also says to take the letter confirming your visa with you... just in case. He didnt' say how long it would take to update the system, he just said it didn't always work, and he'd recommend taking everythign with you. Sorry i don't have a definitive answer. Someone else might know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
