rodelad209 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I waiting for my wife's AAT hearing for 17 months. AAT gave priority 1. My agent told me it would be within 1 month. But already passed 17 months. Agent said the delay is due to coronavirus. Still do not when AAT will call for hearing even my agent does not know. Any body has this type of experience or in similar situation. Any information about AAT hearing on partner visa appeal and what my agent should do for the AAT hearing. My agent asked for the visitor visa for my wife. Would it a right decision to do where Immi refused my wife's visa and waiting for the hearing in AAT. Waiting for your response guys.. Thanks.

It is getting worse and worse. Before I just thought Immi played with us Then AAT review took about 2 years to do the hearing and NOW after hearing it took 4 month and there is no answer from them . such a joke. Before AAT made decision usually around 1 month after hearing but now even they are not making decision and started to do what IMMI doing!!!! unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virajhu Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi All Forum Members, First, we all are exhausted by the wrong decision of the department and now getting mentally harassed by the time taken by the AAT to review and even taking too much time to give a decision after hearing, below are two methods where we can give our feedback and complaints to AAT, I request every single people even if somebody who is not in the forum but has their decision pending with AAT to lodge the complaint with both below two bodies, https://www.aat.gov.au/contact-us/feedback-and-complaints (AAT own portal to know the feedback and complaints) https://www.ombudsman.gov.au/ (make sure we lodge a formal complaint to the ombudsman for this harassment, we paid thousands of fee to the immigration dept. and then to AAT for the hearing, only to wait for indefinite and getting harrassed and suffering of ourself and our loved ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if encouraging everyone to lodge a complaint will help and will probably make the situation worse. If the AAT is dealing with a huge volume of complaints, they will have less time to process applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appealed IMMI's decision in June 2019 and are wondering when we can expect for the file to open. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi MilaMocha, Sorry, do not want to discourage you, but people here are waiting who applied in November 2016, so you can estimate your timeline accordingly.

My last one took 28 months. The active AAT case numbers do seem to be decreasing (maybe as a result of COVID) so hopefully we will see processing times improving this year.

It also appears that the new regional visas the Government introduced are much easier to get, would you say that people who aren't lucky to win at the AAT should have a go at the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494)? Especially for offshore applicants (we're currently here but will have to leave if we lose at AAT) and reapply from overseas (due to being on a visa C).

Hi Raul, This below is an excerpt from AAT complaint team, which says, they are independent and it will not impact the process of application as the red line describes below. How we use your feedback We value your feedback on the quality of our service as it allows us to understand what is working well and where improvements can be made. The Tribunal records, categorises and monitors complaints and feedback. This helps us to identify training needs, respond to emerging customer service issues, and measure customer and community satisfaction. Please note, the AAT complaint process is independent of and has no effect on further appeal avenues available to you and the timeframes that may apply. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
