ZD87 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks Tasleem, This department was more helpful than the other Australian office I called, managed to get through after about 15 to 20 min on hold, basically they told me that they can only see limited information but looked up with my file number, she could only see that it is still in assessment and no other information, she could not do anything else, well thats what she told me. She also told me that Pakistan takes 8-10months and if it is being delayed its because 1. I was requested for more information (which I was not) 2. That the only other reason is the external checks they do are delayed and hence why my case would be delayed. She also advised the senior case office makes the decision in Islamabad and not Australia. She then said "oh why dont you try calling them or emailing them"... The wait continues.. Hopefully some good news soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasleem Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 ZD87 what was you DOL and DOI ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieBoy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I got the same response as ZD87 calling that number. They have limited access to information and unfortunately, I think they lied about leaving a request to get it done... I then called AHC Isl. again and they informed that they are waiting on the final departmental checks. Does anyone know what this means? Is that police checks etc? If no one knows, maybe it is a question for someone to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZD87 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 ZD87 what was you DOL and DOI ? DOL 18th March and DOI 6th Oct, Departmental checks are either background checks involving police checks and verification of documents provided...I think...who knows though, I was always under the impression female applicants had less checks done than male applicants.

IQ2015 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi All, Just wondering if someone can elaborate on a point. I have read on different forums where someone mentioned the sponsor status got approved and it was written somewhere on IMMI Account. I applied thru IMMI Account as well but can't see any change. Is anyone aware of that and has experienced it? Please shed some light on. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It should change after interview to Approved Did they asked for additional documents after interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQ2015 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It should change after interview to Approved Did they asked for additional documents after interview? Hi Khan, Where we can see that change? Have you applied online as well? Yes they did asked for additional docs but not straight after interview. My DOL is 17 Feb 16 - DOI 8 Sep - Additional documents requested and submitted mid of November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQ2015 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My wife is the primary applicant and interview was hers only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZD87 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 IQ2015 What documents did they ask for? From what I've read the approved status for sponsor only means that they have checked and approved the sponsor to be able to sponsor. Have read also that someone was in a similar situation and they rang and where advised it doesn't matter if it hasn't changed yet.

Ssyed Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 If there is a delay of let's say a year in your application then is it a possibility that someone has tried jeopardise or endanger your application if they have details of the couple applying?

IQ2015 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi All, My wife's application has touched 11 months mark. I am thinking to email AHC this Monday and express my concerns. Any suggestions how should I approach them? and should I enquire that my file has been sent to the final decision makers? all suggestions are welcome - many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZD87 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi IQ2015, i feel your pain and even though im about a month behind you ive tried that and all they say that their processing time is 12 months. I would email anyway as i will be doing that as well at the 11th month mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suggest I enquire about final decision makers? what's your opinion? Hope this wait will end soon IN Sha ALLAH but undoubtedly this forum has been very helpful and encouraging. Hope we all get visas soon IA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this wait will end soon IN Sha ALLAH but undoubtedly this forum has been very helpful and encouraging. Hope we all get visas soon IA Mate I have tried a few times (mostly out of frustration when you see people in the past with grants in less than 9 months). I'd say give them a call or email, I have heard a few people say oh don't call or email them they are busy etc etc, and I agree with that for someone who has been waiting for under 6 months but for people like us who are waiting longer than their average time I think it's only sane for us to know where abouts our application is up too. Just don't be disappointed if they give the same standard response mate and if you happen to find something new please share! Agree this forum has been a massive help, hopefully few months we will be sitting with our partners and thinking about how much we stressed about it all lol.
