AAT Partner Visa review waiting time
Hi all,
Long time looker, first time poster.
My wife and I have been married for 2 years. We applied for her subclass 309 temporary partner visa in late 2016 and subsequently got refused in mid 2017.
We applied for an AAT review immediately after and are still waiting for a hearing.
What else are others experiencing and how long is it taking the department to process cases after they have been remitted?
Also, has anyone had any luck in having their case review without a hearing?
Best wishes to you all!

Hi all and thanks for all your input. Does anyone else have any other updates?
We are coming up to that 2 year mark since applying soon (soon in terms of how long we’ve waited thus far 🤦♂️) so hopefully we’ll get some good news soon.
I’ve got a registered MA with a pretty good track record on Partner visa reviews at the AAT helping me with the review so I’m optimistic but nonetheless cautious.
Last update from the tribunal was that the oldest cases they’ve got from this particular review type were dated back to the end of February 2017.
Not sure if its just me that sees things this way, but have the amount of visa refusals in general skyrocketed or what?! Hence also the unprecedented amount of active cases at the tribunal awaiting review...

Update. We’ve be allocated a tribunal member (finally!). It’s a step in the right direction, but does anyone know how long it generally takes (or how long its taken for you personally) for any action to take place now that we know who we’re dealing with? Any info would be much appreciated!
Apparently we’re not in a genuine relationship. News to both of us. I’m not sure we can be in more of a genuine relationship if that’s possible!
. Unfortunately not all delegates seem to following the same "rules" when it comes to being satisfied. Yes this is enshrined in the law, but the way the law is executed is another story. But nonetheless I do appreciate your input 😊You weren't refused for not being in a genuine relationship. You were refused for not providing sufficient evidence to satisfy the delgate.
Update! Have been invited for a hearing towards the end of this month (FINALLY)!! Any tips out there for the hearing? We will be attending with our migration agent too
Hi all.
Just a quick update 😊 The AAT review hearing is done and dusted. The tribunal member made an oral decision at the hearing and remitted the application back to the department with direction that we satisfy the clauses outlined in the decision record. Also received the decision record of the hearing today stating that it has officially been remitted.
I know this still isn’t 100% a done deal, but it is definitely a step in the right direction and we’re so happy about the outcome.
Generally, how long are most cases taking now to be processed after being remitted? I know that all cases are different and many things come in to play when considering this, but If someone could maybe provide their personal experiences it’d be much appreciated 😊
