I applied on feb 27th 2012, case officer wrote to me on 22nd may asking for medicals and further docs, I submitted them all on 11th July( delay was due to being overseas and I did the medicals in Aus which delayed the results). Today I received an email that a decision has been made. It doesn't say visa is granted. But they have asked for my passport. So I am hoping it's positive. It's taken six months now.
So you traveled to AUS while your visa in progress ? which Visa you used to travel ?
My partner is going to apply 309 from Sri Lanka.een in SL nearly 5 months cuz of wedding and im going back to AUS soon and hopefully she will be able to lodge it soon.
Glad to hear that you got the visa and thank you for your reply! It's nearly 7 months for us too so I'm praying to God that it would be over soon! tc. bye.
yeah we hired the best agent in SL. payed a little fortune. but in the end of the day he didn't do a much of difference cause I already had the same documents He asked me to lodge... is your partner Sri Lankan?
Hi Sandy, my partner is Sri Lanka permanent resident in australia.I did my visa all by myself.maybe i should have hired an agent..been waiting for 6 months now.thank u so much for repling me.
regards
I heard most 309 files are sitting in a long queues untill they finish the ones on top of yours. have you lodge your medicals? did you both wrote personal letters and ask for a interview?
I did my medicals in january.we didnt ask for interviews but we submitted our personal letters.Im scared that this might drag up to 12 months as advertised.many friends of mine got their visa's in 3 months.
You should ve request for a interview cause then you can talk to them and talk about your situation. and its really depends on how good your case file is. they dont even care if you married if you dont have certain documents. was yiu file big? did you gave lots of pictures and reference from people who knoe about your marriage?
Hi SandyF
I submited photos of wedding,recipts of wedding,emails,skype history ,phone bills,fotos of our dates.(i married thorough a proposals so i had a relationshp of only 8 months) .cash transactions and declarations from family.file was quite big it was 4 files actually
thats sounds a good file. just keep your hopes. you can call Australian embassy and give your file number and ask what level is your file is now as you were waiting 6 months. just show you are alert of everything and did your husband came SL lately or planing to come? if he have plans you can request them telling my husband is coming to SL and you like to go with him when he is going back. or tell you like to request a interview. its good cause you can talk to them in person and br so real than just files. I asked a interviews within 2 weeks I got my visa granted.
dear if you haven't had much travel experience its little bit hard as this is a traveling document they like to see if you have travel overseas and return before visa expired and kept the immigration law. Please ask for a interview thats the best thing. if they accept it your husband will have to attend a telephone interview as well. and you both will have to keep remember of most important dates and etc
example
the day you 1st met him
day of marriage
1st gift he gave
his favorite colors or food.
so many stupid questions but if you 2 answers 2 different things you ll be in risk too
but if your relationship is genuine nothing to be worry.
I applied for the spouse visa on 21st Nov 2013 from Sri Lanka and still waiting for an outcome. What is the status of your application? Did you give a try with an interview?
