I m new to this I applied my visa 309/100 visa offshore in April 2019 and I am Australian citizens. From India. She got visitors visa in may 2019. Since then she is here with me .she could leave the country due to covid We have been keep extending visa. Last Update we got in November 2020 to submit fresh medical,AFP and indian police check. Since then we have not heard anything yet. Should I call them and ask as it been almost 23 months . Any advice will be great Thank in advance. It’s wastage of time to call the department because they will not tell you anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usman Jav Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Since HomeAffairs has announced they are expediting the 309/100 visas. Please make sure your application is decision-ready so that it is processed quickly. It is not a professional advice. Based on my personal experience if you submit the following docs your application gets processed very quickly. My visa application was processed in 9 months. and my friend who also submitted the same docs, his visa was processed in 5 months only (that too during the pandemic). Primary Applicant National Identity Card Passport Birth Certificate Form 888 (submit two forms) Form 1229 Marriage Certificate Marriage Document (English) Family Registration Certificate - FRC Photos (Wedding Ceremony Pics with Name Tags) Photos (Honeymoon or after marriage) - if available Photos (Social Aspect Photos i.e. with family and friends) Photo (passport size) Complete Medicals & biometrics (for primary and secondary applicants. It should be arranged upfront as soon the application is submitted) Police Character Certificate Polio Certificate (if applicable to you) Hospital Bills (if available) Join Bank Account Statement (if available) Proof of Assets (Bank Statement - Sponsors or applicant) Proof of Assets (Ownership of property - If available) Letter - Request for early grant of visa-subclass-100 (if your relationship is long-term i.e. 3-years marriage, or 2-years marriage with a dependent child) Secondary Applicants (Child's documents) Birth Certificate National ID Card Passport Photo (Passport Size) Polio Certificate Medical & Biometric Sponsor Passport IMMI Grant Letter Medicare Card Bank Statements (as proof of asset) Form 1229 Police Certificates (all countries visited in last 10 years for where you spent more than 12 months in total) Edited March 1, 2021 by Usman Jav Typo errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indus01 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I've submitted all of the above documents for my 309 application in March 2020. RFI received for AFP check on 05/02/21.
