No update, since interview Dol jan 2018 application Interview 1st November 2018 No documents requested No generic email Did you email CO for a status update?

Its been 21 months of clueless waiting, if DHA had shared the reason for delay then waiting wouldn’t have been so painful as I would know why it got delayed. My agent said the amount of documents we provided to Immi account, nobody in their history of clients has. It was love marriage after 3 years of relationship so we provided them with proofs even from before marriage. We dont have joint bank account but ive sent them proof of land my husband transferred on my name as gift. His pictures from every visit he made to Pakistan to see me, monthly bank transfers he sent me in pocket money, monthly chat/call records. I have been to countries only as visitor and never in my life overstayed a visa or did any criminal offence and Pakistani PCCs from 3 cities I have lived in, which I provided twice as first ones expired after a year were clear as well. Im my husband’s first wife and he’s my first and last husband Ofcourse. In interview call, CO asked me routine questions about date of engagement, marriage, husband’s job etc and about future plans to which i mentioned to work there as Pathologist, do PhD and have a baby. I also asked her if i can take my dog along to Australia as i love it too much when i get the grant. She replied im not sure about pets, You should consult the airline as they take pets to different countries so you should check with them for Australia. Read somewhere that providing too much information also delays the process. Do you (or your husband/sponsor) have a long travel history? Like many overseas visits? If yes, would you mind sharing countries you visited (just to know if they were HR countries)? Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly23 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 @tobeaussieIA Did you received any update from CO? Is your case straightforward? Like no previous marriage (applicant/husband), overstay visa, etc. Note: Your DOL and DOL are almost the same, with only one day difference.

Dr.samra Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 My husband visited senior director of Zarnab immigration agency today. He said he is expecting my visa to arrive in 1-2 weeks. But im not creating any hopes because ive been listening to similar things from them from past 21 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saleemk Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 hey mates wanted some advise , DOL 10-Jan--2019 , all docs loaded , Medicals completed . a) is it too early to upload my wife's Paki PCC? I have already uploaded my AFP cert b) is it worth to also upload and provide links to Nikah/Shadi/Valima Marriage videos? I just wanted to make sure that there are no delays whenever the CO pulls up my file , he should have every proof and should straight move to make a decision on my file (my case is of 2nd marriage with first nikah broken and first wife visa file withdrawm) any advises please?

mrsahmed Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi Saleem, If you want to save time, please upload your wives PCC right now... if you're worried that it might expire by the time case officer opens your case, you can always then easily ans quickly get a new one made. But u recommend you upload it now. I uploaded everything on the day I lodged my app. Dont know if that was the wisest thing to do but I guess it worked fine for me , atleast until now. For your question regarding providing link to wedding videos... well have you provided them with your wedding and post wedding pictures? I dont think there should be a harm in giving the video links however in my opinion it may not be necessary... however pictures are very very important. Goodluck with your wife's Visa.

Guest PDP Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi all, I have recently lodged a 309 file (14-03-2019) for my partner, currently under the process of uploading documents. I got to know through this forum (thank you guys!) that I need to apply for sponsorship which can also be done by filling up the form and uploading as a pdf instead of applying online. By the time I got to know I already started online application. I realized in the process of answering questions that almost same pattern of questions are being asked (eg: Explain your social aspects, financial aspects, How you met etc) as to what I already answered while answering for my partner. Is it the way to go? Please share your experience. Should I stop filling up the application and start filling up a pdf form instead? I mean can I do that since I have started the online application? If it so, where would I be able to find the form 40sp as I could not locate on homeaffairs website. Any valid suggestion would be great as I am handling this file on my own so currently this forum is the only point of reference to go ahead.

I have that much travel history of past 4 years that i don't have any free space in my Passport. and faced no issue. I think it depends. If your passport is full of visits from non-high-risk countries then yes, there should not be a problem or suspicion. However, if your passport is full of multiple visits to high risk and war-torn countries, like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya then I think this might create suspicion and your case could be forwarded for special security checks like the one ASIO does.

I would advise you to make sure you frontload complete checklist from AHC Islamabad (search previous posts of this thread where members have shared checklist pdf). Also, since it's your 2nd marriage, I would advise you to write a separate statuary declaration explaining why your previous relationship didn't work (and ended in divorce or khula?) and details how you decided to go for 2nd marriage. This second advice is merely on my experience, as mine is 2nd marriage as well, and I feel if I had provided this kind of statement then my case would be stronger and easier for CO to take the decision. Good luck bro. Edited April 30, 2019 by Lilly23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDP Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 18 hours ago, MnMA said: I believe this legislation is not yet in effect so you are fine with current procedure. 40SP you can download anywhere from internet. One link i found as below http://www.vfsglobal.com/australia/cambodia/pdf/40sp.pdf Hi MnMA, Thank you for your reply and providing the link. Here I want to confirm what you are suggesting by saying "fine with current procedure"; do you mean I should continue filling up online application or manually filling up 40SP?

For me, 20 months is too much. True. But agent says its within standard global processing times. As your application is still within the processing time, the Department will not respond to our query for update, if we make them. Once it crosses the Processing time, we can lodge a complaint with the Global feedback unit if you instruct us to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
