They call you and potentially your partner without warning. They call from this phone number: 051-8355500. Best to save it in your phone so you know who's calling when the phone rings.

No, uploading docs after the date makes no difference to your processing. You can upload docs whenever you want up until the time your application has been decided upon.

Thank you for the clarification and information

I'll keep my timeline updated as things go. So far no call.

Hello everyone. I have a question. If we cancel the sponsorhip before visa is granted do we get the visa payment back? Thank you.

@Pakaus

To my understanding Form 888 and Statutory Declarations are Australian documents and both should be provided by Australian citizens such as

You need 2 Form 888 signed by people living in Australia who knows both the partners

You need statements from sponsor on Statutory Declaration

Who can witness above documents are already mentioned on cover letter of each document.

 

Statements from relatives and friend living in Pakistan can be provided affidavit form or plain paper attested by oath commissioner

Any way what documents you are looking to get witnesses?

You don't need to get Form 888s and Stat Declarations signed in front of anyone in Pakistan. However you will be asked to submit 2+ affidavits from your pakistani friends/relatives who could vouch for your relationship. For those, go to Islamabad kachehri in F-8 Markaz and ask anyone sitting on the street to point you to an "Oath Commissioner". They are a dime a dozen and you won't have any trouble locating one. You will need to get the affidavits signed in front of the said official for them to attest it. Shouldn't cost you more than a few hundred rupees.

Is it possible that you lodge your application in June 2017 and haven't had any interviews or anything yet? It has been 15 month and I'm so frustrated
