Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if any one applied offshore for partner visa (PMV or Spouse Visa) has been granted the visa or CO assigned yet?
I have been waiting for 3 months and 1 week now and it is still dead silence.
The last time I emailed the embassy, they said that my application will be processed in February next year as they are still processing application from January 2011. But still no CO assigned yet.
I saw a lot of people in the family visa time line got their visa granted in September but they seem to had applied earlier than June 2011.
So your application has only been submitted for 3 months?
DIAC advise 5 months for low risk country and 12 months for high risk - they're not doing anything wrong by not having processed it thus far and you should revise your expectations accordingly.
After I can't just sit and wait. I emailed the embassy yesterday asked for case officer and when will I hear any news about our visa?
Finally, in the afternoon I've got a reply from a case officer. But the answer is just a standard answer like it is from a template. Now I'm wondering what can I do next or just wait again? Below is the email from the case officer.
Thank you for your emails. I would like to clarify that the current service
standard for processing Prospective Marriage visas lodged prior to 1 July
2011 is 10 months. We need to ensure that we process applications fairly,
which typically means that applications are processed in the order that
they are received unless there are significant compelling and compassionate circumstances to prioritise an individual case. When we begin to actively assess your fiancee's visa application, we may contact you or your fiancee for an interview or further information if required. In the mean time, if you have any further information that you would like me to consider you can submit it to me via email.
Thanks, that's a great relief. So another month or 2, you will get an answer, hopefully the granted answer. We applied 6 days after yours, so we are not far behind, finger cross.
