Usman Jav Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 One of my very close friend has received 309/100 visa for his wife and three kids. He applied in October 2020, and has recieved all the visas in less than 5 months. His wife and three kids were in Pakistan when he lodged the application. He himself was in Australia at the time of lodgment. All the applicants has recieved 100 visa directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very odd, because usually, British applications are processed faster than applications from high risk regions like the MIddle East and Asia.

I will apply another visit visa 3rd time as the current one is expiring in early March. I have seen on other forum that DHA has recently granted some 309 visas in less than 3 months. Unfortunately, they are not accountable. Did u apply 3rd visit visa while in Australia??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipu Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hi Mitho I will apply 3rd time visit visa after 27 Feb 2021 as the concession to 309 visa applicants who are currently onshore will start from 27 February 202. In the same visit visa application I will request DHA to approve my 309 visa application. Hope for the best.

wonderingwoman789 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi everyone Bit of background.... My partner who is in Sydney and I (based in London), just had our relationship registered and certificate granted by NSW government so we are officially in a 'de facto' relationship even though 11,000 miles apart. It took almost 3 months to come through, we both had to get documents proof signed by legal counsel, had to have all of our Identification documents approved and verified, and paid a small fee. However, our immigration lawyer thinks this will speed up the process when we submit our 309 application. We are now in a strong position to submit the visa application so I will keep you posted on the journey. We have been advised that that this kind of certificate makes us as good as married. We have been apart for 16 months now so really hoping this speeds up the process as the time apart is unbearable. We should hopefully be submitting final visa application next week which is exciting. I'm curious if anybody else has gone down this route, and waited for this relationship registration certificate from NSW government (or similar) before even applying for 309 Visa? I was super conscious of waiting for this to come through before even applying for the visa and then facing another wait. (this took 3 months and then the prospect of waiting another 18 months is extremely daunting!) I'm obviously confident in our immigration lawyer but also, I guess, somewhat impatient as otherwise it feels like a wasted 3 months waiting for this certificate to come through before even submitting visa application! Background on us, we have known each other for 10 years, been together officially for 3 years doing long distance and by the time we decided I would move Covid hit so have been apart every since. We were lucky in that I had visited 3 times in 6 months, but then my partners trip to the UK was cancelled and then we were both completely grounded. I work for an Australian company based in the UK and I have lived in Australia for 2 years previously so in a good position to relocate and be with my love finally! Very testing times, but nothing worth having was ever easy! wishing y'all love and luck xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
