Hey,

I applied on the 24th of April and within a week, I was asked to send my passport. I sent it and I haven't still got the visa! I have not yet planned my journey, but I'm all packed..lol.. I reckon that u applied on 29th Apr which means we both will get our visa around same time?

I applied on 1st May. I called high commission today and she said April cases are being processed. They will process my case as soon as possible, thanks for keeping patience The co initially assigned to you has the purpose of collecting the docs and passing them on to the senior co for further assessment and final decision. So its up to the senior co not the co initially assigned when we apply for the visa. I hope this might help

Hey,
I've submitted my passport along with all other docs.I've been calling my CO for every 2 weeks from june ending.She said it was sent to sr.CO.and now when I called her today she gave me the same old ans that it takes a couple of weeks.Also, she said that we are trying to finish it off asap....so u may get it by the end of July.she gave me both the ans. (by the end of july and also couple of weeks).I did'nt get the exact ans. so u ppl if any one gets any updates pls let me know.I'm desperately waiting 4 VISA.Guess we all r on the same boat and u ppl can understand.

Thanks Vina, I was told about this senior CO stuff and that the final assessment is complete a long time ago. I find it rather funny that a spouse visa of all the visas takes this long to process and that too only to Aus. If it is US/UK, visa is provided almost immediately
