My question is has anyone done something like this? if yes, Whats the time frame for 100?

Thank You

Yeah our is same case . But i not sure if its 100 bcos our agent told they will approve 309 but wen i was interviewed by co then she said " we are more concerened about ur case bcos u have applied for permanent"

Mate these are auto-calculated cells which look-up for the difference between the Current Date and the date you lodged your file (13th June in your case).

It also appears that there was a flaw in the spreadsheet as it was calculating "CO assigned in days" even though the case officer wasn't even assigned. I have now fixed up the formulas and it will show the correct value in the cell (and will not confuse anyone). You can check the spreadsheet for the changes.

Hey Guys,
I had mailed our CO and enquired abt the duration taking in decision being made on our file. it has been forwarded to SCO on 20th April. our DOL is 15 feb.
I was informed that the further update can be expected by mid or end of July.
From the CO's comments I am interpreting that the processes have slowed down for the Financial year end. so the visa grants would flow out after 1st July.
the above are my interpretations and views. but it may help some guys console and be content for few more days of this year.

HI Guys,

Thanks for all the support, my wife has got her temporary residency 309.

I filed for 309 and tourist visa together in December 2011 and we got the confirmation in around 5 months about her 309.

For all those who are in doubt about whether to file for tourist visa with 309 and whether filing for tourist visa will affect 309 timeline; I can assure you there is no issues in doing so.

Both the visas can be processed in parallel. Tourist visa comes in around 2-3 weeks and u guys can spend time together in Australia. 309 will take its own course and will come in around 5 months.

As medicals for 309 are done after case officer is allocated. you can get his/her 309 medicals in Australia itself and the spouse doesn't have to fly back for the same.

The spouse has to go out of Australia once the 309 is finalized which can be back to India or New Zealand basically any country outside Australia.

best of luck to you all.

Cheers,
Deepak

i dnt think waiting for spouse visa is a good one??

I think waiting for spouse visa and to spend time with spouse is vary valid reason and you should state the same.
If you lie and state some other reason, they may smell something fishy and may not extend it.
