Partner Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't know how they asked for a medical without assigning any CO. I was under the impression that a case officer contacts applicants and asks for further documents, which has not happened yet. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to mail AHC again and inquire about the progress of my application. Would anyone of you suggest that? I'm still waiting for my Police Clearance Certificates from UAE (born and raised), and US (visited thrice, 12 months in total); hopefully I'll get them by the end of this month. It hasn't been that long since I lodged my application, but not hearing from the AHC at all is kind of unnerving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirlbay Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What's your timeline? Have you applied from Pakistan? Applicant usually don't get to hear from AHC/CO unless they want some additional docs/info. If you 've applied just recently then wait atleast for 2 -3 months before you get a CO.

Partner Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The following is my timeline: Applicant: Female Application Subclass: 309 AHC: Islamabad Application Lodged: 24th June, 2014 Medical Done: 8th July, 2014 So it has been nearly 3 months already since I lodged my application, that's why I'm a little worried. We need to set dates for the wedding reception but can't do that unless I get any update on my visa progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirlbay Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Average processing time is 9-12 months, although most female applicant do get their grants in 4-7 months time. If you 've already submitted PCC then you may not hear from AHC & get your grant straightaway provided they don't need any more documents from you. Good Luck!!

aussiegirlbay Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Nothing to worry, it's good to be honest..The reason why CO emphasised on job because 'Sponsor should be able to meet sponsorship obligations', please read form 40SP. Now circumstances has changed and Sponsor has got a job so you should send his job contract or offer letter as an evidence of his income. Also provide the others docs requested by CO without further delay. Good Luck! Aussie Girl Bay hey everybody,I am married to an Australian PR holder. he applied for my partner visa. I have few queries please anybody can help me out with them? Applicant: Female Application Subclass: 309 AHC: Islamabad Relationship over 3 years, Married 10th Sep 2013, Lodged application: 19th May 2014 got my medical and biometric call:6 june 2014 Medical & biometric submitted:10th june 2014 I got call from AHC, 12th September 2014 , CO took telephonic interview for an hour or so. My husband went 1st August 2014 to Australia for the first time. he wasn't employed till date CO called. CO asked me each and every detail, regarding marriage dates, venue also asked me about my husband's employment, i told that he is currently looking for a job in Australia. CO asked me , who is supporting him, i said his Father. CO emphasized that he is without job for now, how will he support you. as soon as CO put the phone after long interview. my husband called me and told he got a job. now my question is, should i inform CO about his employment? i told each and everything to CO in detail. I haven't lied a single bit. before putting phone CO asked my of submitting PCC, Polio vaccination prove, Marriage certificate from Nadra (though i have submitted nikkah namah and pictures of marriage even in May 2014) and viber/skype/email evidences of communication. I am worried what will be the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiegirlbay Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah I know how these agent actually works so just ignore what he told you, you did good by telling things honestly. Casual or part time, it wouldn't have any effect as there is no income threshold so I reckon you guys are good, just submit all the docs and your partner's job detail. Hope you get your grant soon. Aussie Girl Bay Hey,Thankyou so much for your reply. Actually we have an agent in between. Agent haven't guided me regarding this supporting issue. Later i told agent that i said, he is being supported by his father. Agent said, you shouldn't have said that. My husband got a casual part-time job for now. He will email me the prove of employment. Does it matter whether job is casual part-time or permanent? is there any threshold of salary defined by Aus immig?

Usman Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Dear members, Is it possible to apply online for 309 subclass visa directly using Immi Account. Like we do for Subclass 190...

Usman Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I have applied for 190 subclass visa online. I haven't gone to Australian High Comission in Islamabad. All my documents and queries were submitted by ImmiAccount and via email. I believe visa 309 visa can also be applied online. . . @aussiegirlbay you are doing a wonderful job by taking out time and replying to queries. It really helps.

You can get help from QUAID E AZAM or some good reference. or its not necessary to submit PCC at the time of submission. Lodge without PCC and go for it after receiving PCC request not a big deal Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirlbay Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi, As per me understanding through AHC Pakistan/immi website you can't lodge 309/100 visa online from Pakistan. Quoted: 'The Department's office in Islamabad has a Service Delivery Partner agreement with Gerry's International to provide Australian visa lodgement services in Pakistan through Australian Visa Application Centres.' Check this link: http://www.immi.gov.au/Help/Locations/Pages/Overseas-Lodgement-Offices/Pakistan.aspx Good Luck Aussie Girl Bay Salaam to all, please guide can we lodge application online for partner visa from Pakistan. Please reply thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirlbay Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 No, I am afraid you can't apply 309/100 visa online from Pakistan. Only applicant for ' Skilled, Business and Employer Sponsored Migration' can apply online as these applications are lodged and processed in Australia' Aussie Girl Bay I think we can. Since anyone can create Immi Account. So yes, you can apply online from Pakistan. I have applied for 190 subclass visa online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirlbay Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Probably Police Form has changed, it wasn't required before. You can submit your application without PCC then wait for CO to request for it, in this way you will get max 'Initial Entry Date'. Aussie Girl Bay thanks a lot but one more thing yesterday I bring police certificate form, form required copy of letter of embassy what does it mean because for application lodge I need police certificate, from where I get embassy letter.please guide. thanjs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
