Tenaciouswanderer Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi, Has anyone recently handed in paperwork for the permanent 801 visa and been told the current waiting times? The immi website says 6-8 months but i'm thinking that may not necessarily be accurate.. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engaus Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I believe they are looking at 801 applications in a lot more detail these days. On another forum we have seen an increase in rejections for the 801 - where in the past you required very little paper work really and it would be granted in a few weeks or so. They are now saying 6-8 months - but again on the other forum I have seen most people receiving a grant within this time frame. People seem to be waiting between 2-6 months thus far. There is an ongoing thread on that forum for processing times for the 801. Let me know if you would like the link and i'll PM you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaciouswanderer Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thank you for the info, I know the Immi website certainly states 6-8 months but on other forums people seem to be waiting longer than that. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engaus Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have not seen anyone waiting for longer than 8 months for the 801 permanent visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
