That is one thing I hate about that embassy is how they won't put your through to the case officer and give you an answer.

Is the senior officer AK?

It sounds like the one you spoke with didn't even both to look at the case.

Hopefully you get a positive result from it.

Let us know how you go :)

Waiting2015: Any news? It has been over 8 weeks since he signed the stat dec. I am being to wonder if they hadn't finished processing the application and the guy that does the stat decs was going to Sudan so they did it early. The last few were approved just before a month after signing the stat dec.

KitKaat: Any news on the 100?

Anyone else have any more news?

Can't believe they gave KitKaat a 309. I can't type out what I'm thinking right now because it's not polite for a forum. Hopefully they fix it!

One of my relatives advised me to write to the ombudsman, and I am not sure. But if they didn't grant visa 100 before my partner comes in August, I will certainly lodge complain to the ombudsman.


I will lodge a complaint with the Commonwealth Ombudsman, as I do believe that:

1- 21 months was way above the processing timelines for the case

2- Compelliing and compassionate reasons were disregarded (family split, children were traumatised for having to live without their father for a long period)

3- Failure to grant Subclass 100 although the requirements have been met for an immediate grant

4- Requiring a long wait WITHOUT TIME FRAME for the 100 grant.

The final decisions was biased, although all the documents and evidence of our relationship were in front of their eyes !

No Mish

The centre replied with stupid reply. They think I am too stupid to believe their excuses.

This was the reply from brisbane office:-


Thank you for your quick reply, before proceeding with your request I will need to recall your file from offshore before making a decision.* I notice that the visa was granted 2 days ago and you have yet to arrive in Australia.* I will call your file and take a look at it, you can still proceed to travel to Australia.* I cannot give you a time frame other than once the file is here I will proceed with assessing and if you need to provide any further documents I will be in contact.

*

I hope this makes sense.

Huh, seriously !!!

I have been told that there is no copy of the offshore applications. I guess that makes sense to why the FOI requests have to go to the embassy that processed the application.

If your partner got the docs I wonder what Brisbane will get. Unless they keep a copy? But who would if it is approved?

Hi Mish, sorry i just saw your message. Yes it has been over 8 weeks :(. I don't know what's wrong. Yea as i have seen from the forum the rest were approved earlier than 8 weeks after signing the statuary declaration. We don't know what to do, wedding preparations need to be done at least 6 months prior, like bookings etc. They shouldn't just speed everything then make us wait so long. What do you think Mish?

Inshallah not much longer.

Usually you won't hear anything until the grant unless they need something. In my past experience that is usually either a letter from the celebrant with a new wedding date because the one you gave has expired or the police or medical doesn't have much left to go and they want to check if you can enter Australia by that date.

I actually know of someone who purposely didn't advise their case officer of a new wedding date so they would know when the grant was near haha.
