ghaffarahmed Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks Shahzad Did you speak to case office or call center guys, and when they informed that your partner's case is in final stages? They informed me a month ago that my wife's visa is sent for final decision, a month for pakistan embassy seems odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahzadmoh Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hi, I have spoken to call center staff, don't know how to speak to case officer...have anyone? Its been more than a month, its ready for final decision. Someone has to review and then decide. If they need anything they will let us know. Kind of standard reply. I know they don't give any solid information which is frustrating. Just got a be patient. Hopefully things go smooth. Good luck.

ghaffarahmed Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks Shahzad, much appreciated! Just wondering if this delay in final decision indicates a complex case. I should admit, although our case is genuine but bit complex due to my second marriage. Do you think shahzad your case had some complexity too. e.g bad interview with case officer, less call records or no bank account, or some overstay visa / phone marriage etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahzadmoh Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hi Ghaffarahmed, No my case is very straight forward, no issues at all. Supplied all the required documents, should be easy for them to finalize. Not sure what they need to speed up. Some of my friends had their case finalized in just over six months. Not many grants are being posted on this forum as well, if someone has been granted, please drop a line. Thanks Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S A Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I agree that the AHC have been taking more time of late to finalize the application. I applied for my wife's visa on 3rd May 2015, and we are still waiting on the interview call. And having seen your cases, I am wondering how long it would take after the interview to get the visa grant. Even though I am hoping its not, but looks like a long waiting time lies ahead. Did AHC contact you two as well for an interview or just your wives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did AHC contact you two as well for an interview or just your wives? Hi S A, In my wife's case, only she was interviewed. Your interview call should not be too far. Some people got visa after two weeks of interview. One of my friend applied one month after me, and got interview call a month before. I have observed no constant pattern, at least now a days. I personally think, due to future refugee intake plans may be affecting overall grants for some visa sub classes. Some delay is expected. Lets hope nothing affects and it goes as we expect.

User Name Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi Guys, does it make any difference if the sponsor is Australian citizen (vs Australian PR) to the processing timeline? Had a few people tell me it will be quicker for me but not sure if this is true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi User Name, I don't believe it makes any difference, "Standard processing time" does play its role to some extent for most of the applicants. Paper based application, or having dependent children may increase the chances of getting priority. But there is no specific formula. AHC decides whatever they believe is good enough. Good luck everyone. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was applying for PR long back we used to maintain a Google spreadsheet here in PIO where we we all entered our timelines with key dates. Would like to update it with my if it exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Name Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 This spreadsheet hasn't been updated since March 2013. The timeline looks promising though given they are from HR country. 5/6 months seems reasonable. No idea what the queue is like now though.
