Andy_ Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 @MrsHzp yes feel free to continue uploading documents until you get a visa decision. @saleemk yes I have seen quite a few applicants getting sponsored tourist visas successfully, usually of 3 months length. @shah the basic premise is not to lie. It's not that hard to determine from photos and the interview whether the couple has only had Nikkah or a proper Rukhsati. If the lie gets caught, you're looking at very harsh consequences. So going by this, you should mention only Nikkah in the application if that's what has happened so far. Generally speaking, having had a proper wedding is seen more favourably compared to just a Nikkah. However, we have seen examples of people getting visas based on Nikkah only. When are you planning to hold your wedding? I would advise to get it done soon, that is before the visa application is finalised. Make sure you mention this fact in your application. Even if you have already submitted the application, you can provide more info later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibran khan Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Anyone got visa 309 after 20th july from Pakistan..!! That’s when the timeline changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_ Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Go to page 364 of this thread and you will see a user with the name of "Inayet" got their visa on 26th July. It's not like the department has stopped issuing visas after 20th July. They update the current processing time statistics on their website around the 20th of each month. I read in one of these forums that there are about 120K applications in the queue for Partner Visa. The govt's current "cap" is to issue only 50K visas (in FY 2017-18 it was 43K i think). So someone who enters the queue now will have to wait on average about 2 years before they get their turn in the queue. There are countries that have much shorter processing times because Australia doesn't want to piss off people from its favourite countries.

For 2018-2019, out of 190k only 47825 visas are allocated for partner visa applicants. My question is Does the immigration follow fiscal or calender year? And is there a way to now how many have been granter so far this year? Any idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had submitted both 40/47Sp. Form 40 should be uploaded to sponser’s accound and 47SP TO THE APPLICANT’s account. But you can upload them to both account it wont hurt.

I'm not sure where to find live statistics of visas being granted. Migration agents seem to have access to some of that information. There are a lot of publicly available reports for previous years though: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/reports-publications/research-statistics/statistics/live-in-australia/migration-programme https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/reports-publications/research-statistics/statistics/live-in-australia/country-profiles/pakistan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By legislation they can't be capped but the "planning level" for Partner visas is 47,825 per year. Trust me they won't grant more visas than this number. In fact, the immigration department under the current government will do whatever they want. The department only approved about 165K visas last year even though the cabinet had set a planning level of 190K total visas. This has been an unprecedented move and one done deliberately to appease the right-wing vote bank. Have a look at what this former executive of the Immigration department has to say about the current situation: http://insidestory.org.au/immigration-policy-by-stealth/ Edited August 1, 2018 by Andy_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aiena.ar Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 They said that you will not come back due to economic crisis of Pakistan and also you have more opportunities there in Australia etc etc. They usually do not grant visit visas to Pakistani applicants.

But they shouldn't think like that as your partner visa is still processing and no one will overstay a visiting visa while waiting on partner visa because everyone know their partners visa won't grand if u overstay a visiting visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
