Hi Fiori,
I am still waiting on my fiances partner visa, he is an Albanian Citizen in living in Tirana, Im Kosovo Born Australian Citizen. I was 5 months Pregnant at the time of the lodgement, my son is now 4 months old and we are still waiting..

- I applied on the 5th of September 2018 online application, through Belgrade Embassy - all documents and evidence were uploaded at the time.

- 5th of September 2018 - Request for PID's
- 6th of September 2018, Request for more information. My Birth Certificate and to do the 40sp
- 15th of January 2019 Request for more information - asked for my Nation Federal Police Clearance..

8 months nearly and Still waiting, haven't heard from them since January, I keep uploading evidence, of travel, photos, im nearly running out of space to attach my documents. I don't even know how to contact them, they dont have a email there, doesn't show who my Case officer is, no direct phone number .. nothing..

I applied for my fiance to come for the birth of our son for 6 weeks but his application got refused as he didn't have "strong ties" to his country, even though I had a doctors certificate saying i have a complicated pregnancy, he showed he is working and in university, but they said ''you didnt show us that u had upcoming exams'' ugh.

any tips that u can help me with? what kind of evidence did you upload?

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't been available for a while. I feel sorry that your case has been so difficult for you. Hopefully you will hear soon from the embassy.

We lodged our pmv 300 in October 2018, further request beginning of February 2019, visa granted on 26 of March 2019 (5 and a half months waiting).
Previously I had 2 tourist visas refused (not enough ties with the country of origin) and I lodged another visitor visa 600 family stream in the beginning of March 2019 which I withdrew after the grant of PMV.

My partner and I believe that the reason we got our visa faster was the fact that we were eligible for 309 rather than PMV and we have lived physically together in my own country, Albania, Tirana for more than a year. We tried to upload all the evidence, 6 statutory declarations, joint bank account, we wrote individual statutory decs, explaining sincerely everything from the first time we have been in contact with each other and all the hardship we have gone through as a couple during that period of time. It was not easy, as my partner had to leave his own country, family, friends, work for more than a year and it was emotionally and financially devastating for our relationship (including long distance travel back and forth for so many times). We wanted to make sure we were having all the evidence in place before lodging the visa and we choose the long route of PMV and finally all went well. We front loaded everything and kept updating our evidence every two months. Same situations, no case officer assigned, no communication, nothing. That was all we could do and it was really frustrating just sitting and waiting for the decision and not being able to make decisions for your future.

I hope everyone will get their grants soon.

Hi all,

Wondering if anybody has had any partner visas granted recently? My partner and I submitted his application through Belgrade at the beginning of August 2019. We were requested further information (Police check and Form 80) just a few weeks later in late August 2019. All supporting documents and the requested information was submitted by mid-September. Currently the application status says 'Further Assessment'.
In your experience, how long should it take after it is on 'Further Assessment'?

We submitted a LOT of documents, meeting all of the requirements, and we organised all of the evidence very well to make their job as easy as possible, so we're hopeful for an answer soon.

We applied for visa 21st March 2019. After 3 months they asked for some more documents and since then nothing. I know that in Seprember they granted some visas which were applied in January and February 2019 ( my agent told me) and also, she told me that they did not got any granted visa since then. Will see, I hope in a couple weeks will have some information since usually processing time is arround 10 months (till now).

Hey everyone,

My partner and I applied mid Ausgust. I'm from Armenia and the application is being processed in Belgrade. We just did the 3 month update and we still haven't heard anything. I front-loaded everything except my medicals. I will be moving to Belgrade early March because we have two dogs and I can't transport them from Armenia. Does anyone know how to contact them to let them know I will be in Belgrade in case they want to do an interview with me? I really hope I can hear something before leaving Armenia because the plan is to potentially get the grant while in Serbia and fly directly to Australia. Did anyone front-load their medicals? I'm thinking of uploading them in January, that way I won't have anything else to upload cause we literally provided them with EVERYTHING they could possibly think of.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses. It's helpful to know other people's experiences. Fingers crossed they do another batch of visa grants soon!

Another question: Has anyone applied for a tourist visa while you've been waiting? And, if so, was it granted? If not, why not?

We have a wedding to get to in Australia in April and we're really hoping the partner visa will be ready before then, but we want to apply for a tourist visa just in case (also so we can book flights soon). My partner is Romanian so even though on paper he is eligible for the eVisitor visa waiver, we know that Romanians (and other Eastern European countries in the EU) always get asked for a lot of additional information which basically makes it the same as the real visa.

Hello everyone!!!
Happy i found all of you!
We also applied for my husbands (he is Serbian) partner visa 309/100 on April 2019. It is processing through Belgrade embassy.
At the middle of August 2019, CO required medical examinations, which were submitted at the end of August 2019.
Since then no news!!!
It is so frustrating...i thought that was the last stage before grand but unfortunately no news yet. :confused:
On Junuary i am going back to Australia because i have to work (we are running out of money) and that is so devostating as we don't know for how long we will be apart.
Any grants this month??
Let's hope for a Christmas present!

Just in time for your marriage for the PMV requirement.

Did you change the dates of the NOIM?

So awesome to see so many grants! I'm hoping ours will come soon too. We are going to Australia on an eVisitor visa on the 14th of February and we tried to contact our Case Officer by replying directly to their email to let them know (so they can inform us in advance of the partner visa being approved so we can leave the country) but we haven't had a reply. Does anybody have some advice about how we can make sure they got the message?

Hopefully our grant will come before we travel so we don't need to worry :D :D
