Hi all,

I have applied on my partner's 485 visa as subsequent entrant from offshore through a lawyer on the 02/09/2016 and yet to receive an acknowledge letter.

My application was decision ready (lawyer advised that medical will have to be done upon DIBP request)

Please advise current processing time for 485 subsequent entrant visa. Her 485 will finish on 29th December, 2016 and we do not have much time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. Can someone enlighten me about a few questions?
My partner and I both 485 visa. But my Visa expires in November 6th. So I'm just wondering how long before she should amend her current visa to include me so that I can go into bringing visa before my Visa expires?
Also could it be done online? Via immiaccount or sending the documents by post

Hi all, it's been 15 days, after doing my medicals, randomly I was looking into my file, under the attachment tab, I found a tab saying I confirm I have provided the requested information. Which I pressed today, a message came up saying, thanks for letting us know it may help the officer to fast track your file. does it make any big difference? or was just a usual thing for all of us

Many many congrats shalu. I even confirmed with the lawyer today for tourist visa. He told me you can't apply tourist visa as they have hold your file, how they can give you another visa. I have gone into depression. I can't concentrate on anything. Living separate from the partner is really very hard forme. Guys please pray for me.

@Singh its not like that, you can apply for visit visa and you will be receiving it with in 18 days, while applying for 485se visa, I also enquired about visit visa all they said u can go for it, all you have to do it just mention your this visa details and also how long it has been for you, its not that easy for me to stay away now so I just want to atleast visit for some days,
Hopefully they may grant it.
Rather than wasting your time you can try this and also very simple documents are required.
Good luck

hi everyone . i got request for medical on 25th june. ( acknowledgement date -2nd may) . does anyone know how long does it takes for the visa once you submit the medical? also , do we need to do the biometrics? i have heard few people who got visa without biometrics. I am asking this because i did not receive any letter for biometrics along with acknowledgement letter. even when i got request for my medical, i did not get any letter for biometrics. My agent said he will email immi to ask why i haven't got biometrics referral letter but I also thought of asking you all. please comment if anyone has any idea.

Hi thank you for your reply . But biometrics is not within health examination . It's a different thing like your identity check using your fingerprints and photo. I had to do it when I came in student visa . And this is usually done right after you lodge your visa using the biometrics letter from the immi. But in my case , they have not send me
One yet so I am confused if we have to do it or not.
