EmilyIreneJones Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 My partner and I applied for my 309 subclass 100 visa on April 9th 2019. We had a request for further documentation on January 23rd 2020 which we supplied within weeks, and we haven't heard anything since. It's so frustrating - 20 months of waiting and we haven't heard anything since January. Is anyone else finding this? My partner is Australian, I'm from the UK. We've been together for 9 years, were due to get married summer 2020 but has been postponed until 2021. Does anyone know if there's anyone to call or check in with?

Kamila Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Woww congratulations to everyone who has been granted their visa. I have submitted all documents and the latest document was biometrics which I submitted on 16th November. But I have not yet been assigned a CO. I asked my agent and they said no news yet. Can anyone relate? How long does it to be assigned a CO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of people who applied from Dubai (afghan applicant) who are waiting 24 months with no case officer assigned . It’s been almost 20 months for me with no case officer assigned. Send me a personal message and I can add you to Facebook messenger group of other afghan waiting for 309 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before lodging my agent promised that it won’t take longer than 1 year and now she herself says the dep is not processing offshore applications So stressful and disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha_g Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 A friend of mine hasn't had any notification of the case officer assigning. Similar is the case with my wife's application. I can't see any notification. We have had the biometrics and medical both done on 4th November 2020. There has not been any update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again congrats I think our application was pretty clear cut though, together for 24 years and married for 14 years and both children being Australian citizens. Plus all my brothers and sisters living down under. Maybe that's why it went through so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
