Ssmiiles Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi Mitho. What RFI did they require? - I thought all applications are online, why do they require post? I have not received any communications. No RFI or anything like that. The waiting game is hard, especially during the pandemic where we can’t visit each other!

Saj12 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Due to COVID-19🦠, Australia is not accepting visit visa and also we have to be outside of the Australia or in our country to get visa. If they opened file and asked for documents then maybe they can give good news soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sau Sam Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 19 January 2021 update Concession for certain family visa applicants affected by COVID-19 travel restrictions Some categories of visas require applicants to be outside of Australia at the time the visa is granted. The Department is aware that COVID-19 travel restrictions are affecting visa applicants, particularly applicants for family visas who have come to Australia. The Department is taking disruptions arising from the pandemic into account when considering visa applications. Visa applicants are being given additional time to complete the necessary requirements, including any current requirement to be offshore at time of visa grant. A visa application will not be refused because an applicant does not meet the requirement to be outside Australia at the time of visa grant. Changes will be implemented in early 2021 to allow some family visas, which have been applied for outside Australia, to be granted while the visa applicant is in Australia. This temporary concession will be for certain applicants who are in Australia and are not able to travel offshore to be granted the visa because of COVID-19 travel restrictions. The concession will apply to certain applicants for the following Family visa subclasses: Child (subclass 101) visa Adoption (subclass 102) visa Dependent Child (subclass 445) visa Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa Partner (subclass 309) visa. The Government is continually reviewing arrangements for visas during the pandemic. If your visa has ceased, or is about to cease, refer to Staying in Australia or our Visa finder for options to remain in Australia lawfully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
