tochika Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I am really upset and stressed about this whole visa 309. This application is for my husband. I am a Australian Permanent resident. Application done in Australia but processing center is South Africa. It's been more than 14 months and we have not heard anything. Police checks and medicals done. Really struggling here and my poor husband is depressed and always sick because of this separation. I flew to see him in June this year and now we still wait. Timeline is below. DOL: 30th June 2017 medicals done in july 2017 2 tourist visa rejected: one in august 2017 and another in february 2018 police checks done in june 2018 medicals again in june 2018 No news till now, no calls or interview date. I am so worried and so is my husband. Our marriage anniversary is 2 years this october. Please if anyone has some advise. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missA Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi Tochika This stuff is not for the faint hearted and I know how you feel. I was lucky to get mine granted in ten 10 months. Reading your thread it would seem that you medicals and police clearances have expired by now. Are you dealing with an agent? Have you contacted immigration Pretoria? Im asking because i used an agent and in some instances i had to call Pretoria because my agent wasnt getting back to me in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missA Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Sorry i see you got new medicals PCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tochika Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yes missA my husband got new medicals and PCC done too. But I am guessing he will need to do it again as it only lasts 3 months. I just don't understand this delay. Anyway to answer your question, i used a migration agent here in Australia and they are so slow and not helping. I don't know who to call in Pretoria and the website only has an inquiry form. Just just reply your application is within timelines. Is there a number to call? Agent said they won't take calls.

tochika Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I see noted on that. Can I ask a personal question here. Is age an issue with visa 309. I mean if there is a gap. But we have proved our relationship with financials and chats and photos. Even my recent trip to visit him and his family and attending family functions, funeral,etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missA Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Always keep your proof its the only thing that can prove a truthful loving relationship, especially if you are living apart. The 309 is the first part of this visa anyway, Immigration want to be satisfied that is legitimate relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZS Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi, anyone here who applied for a family sponsored visa 600, while already having applied for a spouse visa? How do you notify the department that you are applying for the second one? What are the chances of family sponsored one getting approved?

You just mention in the application form that you have already applied for a subclass 309 visa (if you wish). Do not apply for a subclass 309 visa if your wife hasn't been overseas before or doesn't have a job when she is currently living as it dramatically reduces the chances (I think overseas travel is more important). I had my subclass 600 family sponsored refused primarily due to not demonstrating strong financial roots and no prior overseas travel (my wife is in uni so unsure how I could prove otherwise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I mention it in the invitation letter that have also applied for the spouse visa? Sorry to hear about your refusal Me and my husband both will attach our bank statements. What do you think should the average bank balance be for them to approve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 6000 is a safe bet for the sponsor. For the applicant, depends on your status. If you are working, then payslips and latest statement should suffice. Refer to the document list for best guidance.

I hope your wife gets a call today so that we can get some indication around if its still taking approximately 9 months in processing applications from Pakistan. Please keep us posted if you get a call! When you received that email on 18 July, did it also show up on the immi account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read somewhere maybe in this thread or elsewhere that this email doesn't show up in immi account. Immi account only shows updates for official communication (e.g. application received) or further information requests from case officer apparently. Yes two months since that email will elapse by tomorrow (although I am counting weeks and it is currently the 9th week, quite a brutal wait I must say :/) Sure will keep it posted here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
