You mentioned your visa got refused. How many times did you apply and under which streams?

Why didn't you apply from Australia ? you could have gone to a bridging visa if you did so.(like BVE as you mentioned)

Well usual time period is 12 month for the spouse visa. Give or take it might work out within 6-7 months. Some have received even within 4 & 1/2 months while some have taken up to 9 - 12 months. Really depends on the case officers assigned.

You previously mentioned you were in aussie for 9 years. Under which visa category ?

I believe as long as you have mentioned that your previous visas got refused and the relevant reasons in the application, there won't be a issue.

Anyways just contact MISH (Forum Moderator) He might be able to help you with your case as he has been in the forum for a longer time than us.

Hi Everyone,

I have just learned of these forums through a work colleague. My partner and I applied for the PMV in January. He is based in Sri Lanka and I am based in Melbourne Australia. We met at the beginning of 2015 while I was in Sri Lanka for 6 months. It is great to know that there are other people in the same shoes as us. Wish you all the best with your applications.

Grants are given according to the DOL. Only in certain occasions the grants are given before the given time period (If your wife is pregnant or have a child)

Otherwise still 12 months periods apply for all applicants.

Once your application had progressed from the case officer to the senior officer, its on their hands to give the decision.

Now there is a there is a large group applicants waiting after completing their Initial assessments.
It looks like no one is getting through to the next stage...
Hopefully they have already completed assessing the files and waiting to grant visas as soon as they become available.

i dont know why

Guys i sent an email to immigration asking for an update and this was their reply.i dont know when they are really going to grant.

Thank you for your e-mail enquiry.

An initial assessment on your application has now been completed and it has
progressed to the next stage. Applications are assessed in the order of the
date of lodgement and in accordance with any relevant Ministerial
Directions. The global service standard for Partner visas is 12 months.
Service standards are measured from the date we receive a complete
application to the date of the final decision. We aim to process 75 per
cent of complete Family Stream visa applications within this timeframe
however individual processing times will vary depending on a range of
factors. Service standards are aspirational and are not a guarantee that
your application will be processed within this time frame.

Once your application has reached the top of the queue and there is
sufficient information for a decision to be made, a case officer will
proceed with a final assessment of the application. A case officer may
contact you at that time to verify that your relationship is ongoing.

Please note a decision on a Partner visa application that has been lodged
outside Australia can only be made when the applicant is outside Australia.
If you are in Australia when the application is ready to be finalised, you
will be asked to advise us of when you leave Australia for the application
to be finalised.

Hope and pray this would happen soon.
