You should email the immigration department that your case has exceeded current processing time which is 15 months and your case has now reached to its 17 months. Maybe you hear a good news soon.

Is it a cold? and have you had a COVID test? or is it something else? If you need a Dr, please ask the reception and they should be able to arrange something for you. Woolys and Coles are doing on line ordering and deliver to your hotel i believe, so you can buy basic pain killers Panadol, Nurofen etc from them. Hope your feeling better soon.

Even not allowed to outside for 5 second please try not to discourage others, many couples out are far apart from each other and your post doesn't really help people waiting for their Visa approvals. I'm sure you knew this well before left for Australia that you will be in that room for 14 days, and not allowed to be out of it for 5 seconds, but still you decided to get on to the next available flight and come here as soon as you can. Try and think that you are in that room for other people's safety. Good start of new journey for you with good lesson to learn.

Kamila Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi All, Anyone who has done their biometrics in Pakistan, could you please advice the process? How is it done and what are required?

You have to make an appointment on the VFS website. On the day of the appointment you have to take the letter which was sent to you which has your visa lodgement number. Has immigration got in contact with in regards to your husbands applications, did you get a request for biometric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I requested my agent to send us the referral letter for medical and biometrics. We want to do it beforehand as we don't know by the time immigration requests it, would all the offices be operating due to COVID19. It is safer nowadays. For medical I know it expires after 12months, how about biometrics? Does it also have an expiry date? How about your husband? Was he requested by immigration to do his medical and biometrics or he uploaded upfront? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe if you don't do biometrics after I think its 1 month they won't accept because I applied for extension so my wife got enough time to go Pakistan. correct me if im wrong though my application was 2 years ago. could have changed best of luck champ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have applied through an agent and I have not seen how it looks like. My agent only sent me the confirmation letter saying that I have successfully lodged my application. She said she can request for him to do his medical and biometrics but since it was early stage of covid, we had to wait. Now she has sent me the referral letter and it says that he has to do it within 28days of receiving the letter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that's risky. Thanks for letting me know that. It is better to be aware of the consequences and I will confirm with my agent. My partner faced so much trouble last time he wanted to get the visa. He had to go to kandahar to get it. I'm not too sure how the situation is like now. Honestly it shouldn't be that difficult but the officials making it harder and more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
