CEP Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hi All Thought I'd start a waiting room thread for those applying / applied for subclass 820. If you've come through the PMV300 route that would be great to know too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodlejaffa Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Howdy! My 820 was lodged 1st May 2019 so figure I've got a long wait ahead meantime! My bridging visa kicks in shortly as my PMV 300 runs out on 31st July. Just keep uploading evidence meantime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEP Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 @Noodlejaffa great to see you on this side of the process lol! “Here we go again!” I’m not ready to submit yet. We’re getting married next month so I’ve started to collate some evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnab03 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi everyone, my Fiance applied for his visa February 2018. In July 2018 I was asked for police checks and April 2019 my fiance had his medical done. Still no word of his police checks yet. we are hoping to have his visa granted this year so when February comes around he can apply for the PR. Good luck to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWayOfThePony Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Already got mine but thought I'd add my timeline for statistics purposes Applied in February 2018 (on the back of a PMV) Granted June 2018. Now waiting for my 801 eligibility! Good luck to all!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcrab Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Applied for 820 last November 2018. Waiting. Understand from gov site, as at August 2019, 75 percent of applications approved by 22 months so guess it's a long wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaGrumble Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've heard that 820/801 applications from May 2018 are starting to come through now (August 2019). If that's correct, the minimum processing time is now about 15 months. Coupling this with the Department's information that 75% (resp. 90%) of applications are processed within 22 (resp. 28) months, a simple (and therefore quite possibly incorrect) statistical model suggests that (a) about 1/4 of applications will be processed soon after the 15 month minimum, and (b) if that doesn't happen, you'll have an average of about 6 or 7 months longer to wait after that - could be more, could be less. But that's just a back of the envelope type calculation, I wouldn't take it too seriously. In particular, if anybody is seeing processing times less than 15 months, that would reduce the predicted probability of being processed immediately after the minimum. And if there are any processing times less than 13 months, then my model is definitely wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharfy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I am going to apply for 820 in September, but I've already begun to prepare (ordered all police checks from every country I lived), I am not sure if they are required for 820 visa, but I just want to be on the safe side ;) Concerning the timeline...My friend got her 820 visa granted in 1 (!!!!) month after she applied for it..

wonderingwoman789 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hi all Be kind - I'm new! Sorry if this has been covered. Just wondering once you apply for the 820, how long after that are you granted the bridging visa so that you can work (whilst you wait!). We won't be able to survive if Im not working so just trying to work it all out. Looks like once this has been granted you have a hefty wait before you even get the 820! Thanks in advance!

Sam Better informed people can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that: 1. The bridging visa is granted as soon as your application has been received and paid for, but 2. Your existing visa remains in force, and takes precedence over the bridging visa, until it (the existing visa) expires. Only then is the bridging visa activated. 3. Work rights will be the same on the bridging visa as on your existing visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POMMYGAL Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hey There Quick question. I am currently on a 457 visa which expires July 2020 and I have an 820 application in progress. I know my bridging visa doesn't kick in until this one expires, but is there anyway it could kick in earlier if i quit my job and essentially my visa is canceled? Or will that result in a knock on rejection affect? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you quit your job and the 457 is cancelled, your bridging visa will also be cancelled and you will eed to leave australia, or become unlawful.

KMT428 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 If your substantive visa is cancelled any bridging visa will also be cancelled, however if you have previously applied for another substantive visa, you can apply for a BVE to remain in Australia until your visa application has been finally determined.

I have had to stick it out at my employer - even though I wanted to leave. Fortunately my BVA will be kicking in when my 457 visa expires on the 19th september. I thougt about doing the same thing as you but it is a very, bad idea! Your 457 is cancelled and then your bridging visa is also cancelled and you would have to leave. You'll just have to tough it out where you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_hj Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I was granted my 820 FOUR DAYS after applying. I entered Australia on the 16th July one month after getting my PMV300 and married another month after that on the 15th August. The day after that we applied and paid, immediately got a phone call to ask for our marriage certificate. One day and one quick upload later, it was granted. I am still recovering from the shock. I am so confused, and I don't know why I'm being so stressed about this...but I don't have to apply for the 801 right? I just wait for them? Do I need to lodge on Immi? Or just wait for two years to be up? I'm still in shock at the ease and speed of my 820 grant so excuse the brain meltdown! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlejaffa Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hey, meant to post this the other week. My 820 was granted on 18th September - having submitted the application on 2nd May. Still in shock!!! 18 months earlier than we were told to expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even uploaded my marriage certificate, I opened immi account in order to upload it and found Grant notification. Rediculous! I am shocked and happy at the asme tme! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEP Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi all! I’m back!!! i lodged my 820/801 over the weekend and frantically getting the uploads together which is painful lol! hoping for a quick turnaround as I’ll be on BVA in a few weeks time. For those with an 820 grant, what is the valid until date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEP Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hey all! I got my 820 today. submitted 22nd November 2019 straight to visa grant today 9th January Spookily, it’s 4 years today since me and my husband got together. note I had a PMV 300 grant in March 2019- I believe the subsequent 820 is usually quicker in this situation.

Shelly AZD Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi all, Happy to know some of you have received your visa quickly. I have applied for my 820 visa in May 2019.
