My wife and I were both just wondering and jumped on this site. We had our previous VISA (309) done in Berlin, it took 9 months. Going to do an update for August. Just with photos and a story on our situation. I think since you are from the UK your one should be processed faster.

I do sense that low-risk 309s are taking somewhat longer than they were at the height of the pandemic - this would be consistent with the reduced numbers available in this, new, programme year. The 100 times may be a reflection of them finally making decisions on applications that have been outstanding for ages, at the expense of more recent applications. Remember, the numbers are backwards looking, not a reflection of expected processing times for new applications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcKie Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Hi @paulhand hope you're well. Just wondering if you've had any movement on any 309/100's lately? It all seems to have slowed down a bit... Edited October 25, 2022 by JMcKie grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Collett Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I thought partner visa grant numbers were demand driven ... whatever that means! Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstWorldProblems Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This is quite an alarming jump 309 Partner Provisional processing time Jan-20 Aug-20 Feb-21 Jun-22 Sep-22 Nov-22 75% 17 15 18 20 17 29 90% 20 20 22 32 36 38 For those of us trying to work backwards from a desired migration date to calculate when to submit, this makes planning quite challening when the current 25% and 50% are 10 and 14 months respectively.

I've just passed the 6 month mark since I put my 100 application in. Lodged for subclass 309/100. One was granted the 309 with the 100 granted a few minutes later. The second was granted the 309 only; the 100 will follow in due course - additional documentation to be delivered going forwards that evidences the ongoing and genuine relationship. Hope this helps.

psuwara Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Uploaded our December update with Photos and general write up. We submitted end of April. Application still marked as further assessment. I don't think there will be any issues, just time consuming. I wonder if the police checks will remain valid for the life of the application. Or if they will send us a RFI with updated AFP checks ...

That's quite frustrating, given it's unlikely the VISA will be granted in that time with the time frames currently shown. Meaning you need to fork out for those AFP checks again...

You can upload your international movement record as evidence that you have not been there, and thus they are still valid For AFP: The process is a bit quick right now as they provide a digital option (no need to wait for it to be mailed to you).
