Does anyone have any experience with changing the application from PMV300 to 309? Processing time between 309 lodgement and approval?

Situation:

Sponsor: Permanent resident

Applicant: Egyptian passport

Agent: Yes

Office: Cairo office

DOL PMV300: 25 August 2019

Case-officer assigned/medical and biometrics requested: 02 Septmber 2019 and submitted 17 September 2019

COVID hit, we decided to get married as she is not exempt to enter the country

Change to 309 visa: 28 October 2020

Medical and biometrics requested: 10 December 2020

We lodged a visitor visa 600 as well on the 10 of November, with the hope that she can travel to Australia and granted the 309 visa onshore (as per the updated regulations)

Biometrics provided for Visa 600: 20 of November

Any feedback is helpful

Thanks all

Did you get your 600 VISA approved?

Hi Popdude

when did you apply for 600 and what documents did you submit? Did they give you a reason for not approving your request?

No recent travel (Dec 2020): I paid around $5000, one-way, Cairo-Brisbane, Business class

Recommend that you do not book through an agent. Book directly with the airline. Check google flight for prices, hide separate tickets, select the most common airlines (sadly the expensive ones).

I have just applied for an exemption now and have not heard back. I think we need to get an exemption before we apply for visitor visa. I think it makes the process much smoother and easier. I will apply for 600 visa as soon as I get my exemption approved. Will keep you updated of the outcome

Thanks so much Kamila for your support

I forgot to mention that my wife already got the travel exemption before we apply for the visitor visa. They are very slow

I would definitely appreciate your keeping me updated with your status. Thanks

Hi Popdude, 

just letting you know that I got my partner tourist visa approved in less than 2 days for 6 months stay. 
for me the hardest part was getting an exemption which took around a week but visitor visa came in quite quickly 

try emailing them perhaps?

Hello,

I would appreciate if anyone of you can confirm following:

As PR holder, due to my family circumstances concerning my mother’s health condition I couldn’t move to Australia for three and half years.
 

I don’t have any residency or financial history in Australia as I just met the landing requirement and stayed for a week.

Now, that I am still living offshore, have gotten married, have a kid and intend to file application for my family (wife and kid), may I know that does my family stand a chance to avail their partner (309) and kid(?) visa irrespective of my living status in Pakistan or overseas for next one and half year due to Covid uncertainty as it’s extremely difficult to leave family behind and move on my own. 
 

To summarise, without having any Australian financial or residency history, I want to file and wait for finalisation of applications while staying in Pakistan and move together before September 2022. Should or can I proceed?
