SUMMARY: Spouse Visa Processing times OFFSHORE-UK. Please add your Stats.

[nollie]

We applied April this year I am the sponsor everything submitted so waiting, hoping the email means they are looking at our file..... I am fed up with checking emails

[GooseRenders]

I got this email too. Next stage I guess, giving the go ahead to do Medicals etc in accordance with the current waiting of 10-14 months

[SandyBlueMountains]

Medicals already done, and police checks. You're making me nervous!!

[Bound4Tassie]

Any ideas what, if anything, I should read into this email I've just received from the London office....?

"Dear Client, We are writing regarding your partner migration visa which is being processed at the London office. We can confirm that we are now able to proceed further with your application and you are requested to provide any outstanding information requested made by your case officer within 40 calendar days of this email. If you do not respond to this request within this time frame, a decision will be made on your application based on the information contained on your file"

 

They have given no clues about what information they're on about!!! I attached the police check to the application, but the doctor said he would send it directly to the department, he was given the HAP number etc. I assume he did this.

Anyone else had an email like this?! Don't know whether to be happy or worried...!

 

Must've been sending out a batch as I got that email today too. I took it as they're ready for the medical & police checks.

 

Ps. It does say at the top of the email.....

 

"This is an automated e-mail and if you have undertaken any requested health or character requirements, please kindly disregard this e-mail.

 

If you have been contacted by your case officer recently requesting you to do health or character requirements, please refer to the correspondence received previously.

 

If your application has been finalised, please kindly disregard this e-mail."

....so if you've already sent these things off...just relax!

Oh, you're making me nervous, too!!!! Our CO told us not to do medical or police check until after Sept 27, so we did as we were told, did them in October....

Sorry to make you nervous! I added to my reply. See above . If you've done them, there's no panic. It's an automated email.

[SandyBlueMountains]

Relax????? I think my nerves are shot forever more!!! Yes, medical and checks done in October. Thanks!! X

[Pingpongpom2]

Applied March this year. I'm sick to the back teeth of checking emails!!! I'm similar, I'm sponsoring my husband but we are older (50's) and have no kids....

Fingers crossed!!

Yes, definitely fingers crossed!

Ahh, it's a long nerve wracking process. My daughter is feeling the same way, so I'm doing my best to keep her calm. We can't wait to have them here with us in Aus

I'm using the same agent so can I ask, did u get the grant email direct from immi or did it go to agent then sent on to u? Thanks

 

It went to the agent first @Jen44.

 

 

Partner visa (subclass 309/subclass 100 lodged 02/04/2015, CO (VF) allocated 06/05/2015. Police ACRO Check completed 24/09/2015, Medical Check completed 01/10/2015, currently completing a C100 removal from jurisdiction for my Stepson, looking to locate to Melbourne Berwick area with my family of five in early 2016.

[Hoddie32]

thats fantastic news, congratulations..... Good news for all of us waiting for a pmv marry Christmas ::xmas24::xmas4:

 

p.s who was yr co?

 

Sorry, only just read through the whole grant and at the bottom it says:

Gxxxxxx Position Number: 00001523VIC Partner (Temporary) Processing

I'm guessing that might be my CO?

Removed CO name - initials only please

[SandyBlueMountains]

Don't know. I had an email where C introduced himself and said he was my case officer. But I applied myself, no agent, and online from UK...

[Guest]

Just a reminder not to post CO names, first or last. Initials only in posts and signatures please.

 

Thanks in advance

[SandyBlueMountains]

Ok, sorry...

[Hoddie32]

Sorry! Was unaware. Thanks for the tip and edit

Did mine ages ago too! Which visa have you applied for?

[SandyBlueMountains]

We're applying for Partner visa (I am the sponsor). Application done in March 2015, online in UK. We haven't used an agent, doing it on our own, which is why I'm so nervous!!

We did it without an agent too, expensive enough as it is! I didn't find it too bad, the stress for me is the waiting

[SandyBlueMountains]

Same here. I found it ok, but I wasn't sure I'd done everything correctly! But then, I am 58, all this computer stuff doesn't come naturally to me!!

[GooseRenders]

I think whatever your age it's pretty nerve wrecking. I don't think you'll have too long now to wait going by the table we have going in here but who knows!

Our CO called us a few weeks ago to say that everything was ready to go. Unfortunately because we have a time restriction with our wedding date it can only be approved at a certain time to allow me enough to time to enter Aus, get married, and get the application for the next visa in and ready to go. Because we get married in Nov, I can't enter Aus until April so a few more months until our visa is granted!

I got the same email yesterday, so that makes six of us.

 

I had been waiting to submit my police and medical checks to ensure that I'll have plenty of time to validate the visa once it's granted. Having had the reminder it was clearly time to do both! So I applied for my police certificate yesterday and booked my medical for next week. It's starting to feel more real now!

How long is the time lapse then, for validation? I haven't been able to find that anywhere.

You are typically allowed 12 months from the date of the earliest of your police certificate or medical checkup. That's how long they are valid for.
