ANY EFFECT ON APPLICATION NUMBER , QUE OR TIMELINES???? Hey maria - when did you lodge your application? I first heard from them after almost 9 months and that too straight to the interview and then a request for more information. I was as frustrated as you but seems it's standard protocol now to not hear anything for so long All the best with your process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANY EFFECT ON APPLICATION NUMBER , QUE OR TIMELINES???? I’m the Australian citizen. My husband applied from Pakistan. I don’t think it’ll make a difference at this point to change your agent because once the application is submitted it’s really just up to the department to process it. @panda286 is right. It takes 8-10 months for contact with most visas from Pakistan being processsed within a year. They make you wait to see how genuine it is even if all the paperwork is correct.

henryolonga Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) @DrNH Nobody can give the time frame when they will make a call to you again. We missed a call after 6 months of applying for the visa. The next call came after 4 months (i.e. After a total of 10 months of applying for the visa). The visa was granted in next couple of days after the call. You can assume that the next call will be made to you once they will be about to finalize the case. If you have applied by yourself, (without using a consultant), the best you can do is to ask some expert to review your documents (i.e. The documents which you have already uploaded or provided to immigration). They can call you anytime. Wish you all the best !!! Regards, Henry Edited November 15, 2017 by henryolonga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayyaba Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 @dr.maria I never came across anything like that. I think we all are a little insecure for visa but they cant simply disregard an application on this base. Many of us here have arrange marriages. So I am pretty sure its nothing to worry about.

Cegor Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 hi everyone, Fairly new here. Just a couple of questions but first a bit of history. Husband=Australian/Canadian. Wife (me)=Canadian. Married 15+ yrs. Both live and work in Canada. No children. DOL=Nov 7, 2017 (few days ago). offshore Visa 309. online application. no agent used. just a couple of questions: 1) what is the grace period one gets to get the visa activated from the grant date? I have read a few here give a time frame of under 3 months. We plan on just flying to Australia (Brisbane) once the visa is granted just to go activate it but would like to know if the time frame of 3 months is feasible. 2) once one has the visa activated how long would I roughly have to move there permanently? I am trying to plan ahead. Yes, pretty hard to do as I see some of you have been waiting a while and our journey has just began! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they give you an explanation? @arham786 i hve already posted the details FYI ust got an email from the high commission. they refused my visit visa due to the reasons which donot even makes any sense. as per the reason i wont come back due to the economic crisis of Pakistan. THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED. they are not satisfied with my employment details even though i have given all my employment details( business card, salary slips with the application).they are not satisfied , im surprised as im a professional doctor working as an asst. Manager in a reputable organization since long time. having experience of 5 years including international working experience. ON THIS THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED. they didn't find any member of my family remaining here in pak so that i will come back . whereas, i have given my FRC showing that i do have a mother with 2 sisters here. THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED. VISIT VISA APPLICATION; 28-AUG-2017 CONSIDERATION EMAIL; 28-SEP.2017 INTERVIEW; 19-OCT.2017 CONFIRMATION OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENT ; 01-NOV-2017 REFUSAL ; 08-NOV-17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiba Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Just out of interest, has the immigration department ever contacted the people making the statutory declarations/affidavits for clarification of information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a person who got her visa within 7 months of lodgement. She had a proper arranged marriage, had a Nikah in September and got her visa by March even before her rukhsati. And this is as recent as March 2017 so there is no such thing of having a relationship more than 2 years. We're all a little on the edge because the process is taking too long but let's not worry about things that aren't to be worried about. Let's just hope and pray all of us get our visas soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
