Hello everyone! My name is Nasir Nawaz and I'm registered migration agent in Australia.
Today's video is about the questions you ask.
You asked about the processing times of different visas.
Firstly, the department publish this.
Secondly, I will talk about the things happen practically.
I will read the questions and answer accordingly.
The first question is, "Do you have news regarding partner visa processing time has been reduced
it is now 9 and 14 months duration. Please kindly I want to confirm it from you."
Your question is very interesting but it looks little incomplete if it is onshore partner visa or offshore partner visa.
It depends on many things.
For example, it is dependent on your country's passport.
Sometimes your background checking process takes longer time.
I am familiar with a case whose case is still in process for a long time
because when it is asked from the department they said it is taking long time because it include character checking requirements.
So, sometimes it takes a long time due to the checking of background and verification of documents.
Yes, 9 to 14 months is the duration but it can get processed in 6 months too.
It all depends on your case and your decision ready.
I often use this word so what is "decision ready"?
Decision ready means that you have given all the documents to the department
Whatever is needed by the department.
So that they don't need to ask you again and when case officer opens the file and see everything is there
and he gives decision on this. That's called decision ready.
So, if you have decision ready and there is no background check your visa process can take even less time.
I hope I have answered the question.
The next question is, " Please share 186 direct entry chef processing time onshore."
The 186 especially the chef should be processed in less time. 6 to 8 months are enough
not more than that.
If your process is taking long time you can contact to the department.
But practically it only takes this much time.
I hope that I have answered the question.
The next one is, "What's the processing time for 189 visas these days for offshore candidates?"
It is the favorite question of many people.
A lot of invitations came from past 2 to 4 months especially to offshore applicants.
So this the hot favorite question of those people
that what is the processing time?
I believe it depends on occupation to occupation and they will proceed according to that.
Secondly, it is federal so it has nothing to do with states.
As soon as the files are going to open.
My understanding says that they will finalize it within 6 months.
Things will go back and forth like I said before if you don't have decision making file,
your documents are not getting verified
let's say your employment history is not able to get verified
or your character checking process is not getting done.
Let's say your health examination has not been cleared due to delay or you have not started it yet.
Delays happen when a lot of things do not get verified.
It must take 6 months. I hope I have answered the question.
The next question is, " When will the processing time of 476 visa be normalized?"
We don't know about it.
I think they have pushed it at the back.
There was also a time when it used to get processed in 2 months or maximum 6 to 8 months.
But now its publish processing time has also reached 42 months.
We have not much idea about it but as soon as the things are going to open
I believe things will be normalized after Christmas.
Right now, the focus is on student visas 485
and on 2 to 3 visas more.
I have also witnessed this that student visas have arrived even in 2 days.
Even in 24 hours. So surprising things are happening at this time.
Once this backlog will be cleared I think the things will get better for 476 in the first quarter of 2023.
The next question is
"Sir my wife is in Australia and she applied for 485 visa in July and I am doing job in Qatar when we will receive our visa?"
I believe your visa should come maximum till February
till February 2023 it is a long time.
The average processing time of our clients is mostly 4 to 5 months.
Until and unless when your wife applied she had bridging visa C
it can take a little long time.
Otherwise, the normal processing time is 4 to 6 months.
According to this, your processing time has been completed till January or February.
I hope I have answered the question.
The next question is, "what is current 491 visa processing time. I lodged visa in March?"
I think you have applied in March, 2022.
If you are an offshore person it might take sometime if your occupation is not high in demand in Australia.
The visas which came recently and are of high in demand occupations
they sent them in 4 to months.
The time period of your visa application has already been 9 months or it can take maximum 2 more months.
You should make your decision ready and if there are some changes make your file updated.
By doing this, the chances of visa arrival get high and your file comes in better place in the que.
I hope I have answered the question.
The next question is, "Sir! The processing time of 476 has increased instead of decreasing. Visa grants are not arriving since 2 months."
Its not only 2 months people have not received since 8 months
Our visas are also stuck as I have told you before while answering previous question.
I don't know if people are not talking about this or what is happening.
So, whenever it is going to happen will be sudden hopefully in the first quarter of 2023.
I hope I have answered your question.
The next question is," The processing time has not be decreased
as I am waiting for 485 visa for 12 months and it still has not arrived."
If your visa has not arrived yet do follow up you can be in exceptional case
obviously your visa must have not arrived if you have written this.
I have seen this through my experience that when you start following up you can lodge complain,
follow up email, and follow up call then visa often arrives.
But for Bridging C it can take a little longer time.
If 12 months have passed then follow up is your way out.
You will receive it soon. We also have a lot of clients whose visas don't arrive for a long time.
12 months is a long time.
So, you need to follow up and by doing this your visa can arrive soon.
These were some questions related to processing time of different visas you asked from us.
I try to answer those questions which are hot favorite and asked most commonly
Or maybe asked once but is hot favorite for many people.
For example, you asked about the processing time of 189 offshore.
Even it will be hot favorite question for coming days too.
So we just try to answer them all.
