Subclass 309/100 - Spouse Visa processing time - AHC Delhi

[japsi]

hello,
MY DOL is 16/11/2011, I have one question that I had a interview in Delhi on 20th june and right after my interview my CO said he'll give decision in July n also asked me if I have plan to travel overseas now I said NO, then he ask if he can keep my passport I said ok n i gave him my passport, but i never asked him why he wants to keep, i was just scared to ask, so anyone have any idea why he wants to keep my passport???

The only reason I can see is that he was thinking to grant. He cant do it till July (new financial year) and would save you having to send it in for the visa to be put in.

And other little stuff. She clearly said to her that we dont have much as my husband is in australia and i m here we dont have any sharing account. She said ok.
And after exactly 4 months she gt an email just to infrom her file has been queued.
Hope it will help u. If u need to know anythinh else ask anytIme.

Hi abhay
Thanks for yr reply..

Did you apply a so called "decision ready" file along with the medican and pcc?

How long did it take to get co allocated to yr application? Have you been given sone sort of time frame by a CO?

Man, they shd consider people like us as a high priority. It took 3.5years for the PR. And now we have to wait for this as well..

Thanks
Neel

Sadly decision ready files mean nothing with spouse visas unike with skilled visas because of the quotas and queuing system for family visas.
The only way to get around the waiting is to apply onshore or to use a long stay toursit visa to bring your spouse to Australia once the offshore visa is lodged.

I heard that the AHC will start issuing the Spouse Visas from 1st week of July after this break, because of the EOFY.

Hey Folks,

We are new to this forum. We have submitted 309/100 on may 25th. When do you reckon we will get the case officer assigned. Does it happen in 12 weeks ? EXpert Expats who have applied this year please let know.
