What happens during the waiting game: http://goo.gl/Y5cqma

Usually the first notification you will have your Australian visa application has been assigned to a Department of Immigration case officer is an email directly from the case officer.

The Department of Immigration case officer will review your application forms and the evidence you have gathered and assess your eligibility for the visa subclass against the Australian Migration Law, Regulations and Policy.

The Department of Immigration case officer will either grant the visa application or request further information to support the application so they are satisfied it meets Migration Law, Regulations and Policy. For example, if you have applied for a partner visa, spouse visa, de facto visa or prospective marriage visa the case officer may request you to provide more evidence of your relationship to be satisfied your relationship meets the "genuine and continuing" relationship criteria.

Further requests for other types of visas may include health or character checks or clarification on any points the case officer is not sure about or information they may have doubts about in terms of genuineness for example.

If your case officer requests further information they will usually give you a deadline to provide the additional evidence and/or information within 28 days. You should try to do everything in your power to meet this deadline. It is in your best interests to meet the deadline for three reasons, 1) the sooner you get your documents back the sooner the case officer can make a decision on your case and 2) if you miss the deadline the case officer may decide your application without the requested documents which is likely to lead to a visa refusal and 3) the case officer is working on other cases in their caseload and will work on the cases as the documents arrive in date order.

It is usually possible to get a further extension if totally necessary, this should be avoided but we have never had an extension request denied. If you do have an extension request denied, you should request the case officer speak to their team leader, manager, principal migration officer or senior migration officer or put you in touch with them. We would do the same if we were denied the first request for an extension as we would consider this unfair and unreasonable decision making.

You need to allow the case officer time to process your case once they have been allocated the file. They will normally grant it as soon as they can, however, keep in mind the service standard for that type of visa at the Departmental Officer where you have lodged your Australian visa application.

The time taken to process visa applications varies around the world, depending what country the Australian Embassy is located. There are local factors to take into account including the number of staff versus the number of applications lodged, the local public holidays, any sick or personal leave your case officer may take and their working arrangements, for example, some case officers do not work full time and are only in the office part time.

We do not recommend you contact the Department of Immigration with enquiries as this delays the process as they take a lot of time to respond to all of the enquiries in their inbox. The more time they take to do this, takes them away from their more important work of processing applications.

If you believe the case officer is taking far too long to respond, has not acknowledge your response or provsion of information or documents or your application has gone beyond the advertised processing times, then we suggest to contact the case officer with a copy to the Australian Embassy general email address for the relevant visa section.

Remember, until you have that grant notifcation you cannot make any major plans such a flight bookings, quitting jobs or selling houses.

retake · August 2014

@araead -wala pa rin akong CO tsong

G_australia · August 2014

Hi OZ pipz!!!!Excited na din kami

Stay positive lang para mag positive lahat ng processing results

Hehe...Tanong ko lang,balak kasi namin mag medical prior visa lodging.Dito kami based in SG.Meron naman accredited clinic dito accdg sa website.Meron na ba dito nag medical before visa lodging?After lodging din,kelan ba ma-allocate ng CO and mga ilang weeks din usually nag-a-advise ang CO for other supporting docs like PCC?Kasi NBI namin and medical isasabay namin on the same day pero ang SG police clearance later na kasi kelangan nila talaga request letter from the immigration para sa applicant.

Advise naman po

Go!Go!Go!

cholle · August 2014

@G_australia visa lodging muna before medical. You will need a HAP ID for your medical exam which is only generated after visa lodging.

G_australia · August 2014

@cholle Hi!Meron po kasi ako nabasa sa website and it goes like this:

You should use My Health Declarations if you are intending to apply for a visa within the next few months and the visa that you are intending to apply for is likely to be processed within the next 12 months. This is particularly encouraged if you are in a country where eMedical processing is available.

Pwede naman po dito sa Sg and naka submit na din po ako.Nagpa sked na po ako with my dependents kasi sa referral letter may HAP ID na naman po.

G_australia · August 2014

@cholle Ano po visa nyo po?

araead · August 2014

@G_australia there is My Health Declarations so you can proceed with your health requirements before lodging your visa application but please read the terms carefully. I used my health declarations but i would not suggest it. up to now organize my health pa rin link sa visa application ko kahit nasubmit na ng clinic ang exam results namin almost one month ago. i frontloaded my medical information sheet in my visa application. the document status is received but still no update on the organize your health link. @cgm also have the same dilemma

G_australia · August 2014

@araead Kelan po kayo nag lodge ng visaA?Ang sabi kasi sa website na:

Once your eMedical health examinations have been submitted electronically to the department for processing, you should lodge your visa application. Make sure that you indicate on your application form that you have already completed your health examinations and provide your HAP ID. This will facilitate the processing of your visa application.

Nakita ko po kasi sa timeline nyo na nag-apply kayo for health declaration june 23 tapos nag lodge kayo june 24.so kelan po nangyari ang medicals?

kami po kasi nag submit ako health declaration,then appt with accredited clinic in september 1st week,tapos maybe balak namin 2 weeks later,mag lodge kami ng visa.

G_australia · August 2014

@araead Regarding din po sa SG police clearance,paano nyo po ginawa?kasi nabasa ko sa website ng singapore police force is for citizens lang nila ang certificate of clearance?paano yung s-pass holders like me and work permit holder like my husband as my dependent?any ideas po?

G_australia · August 2014

@alexia02 hello po!how did u get SG police clearance?citizen po ba kayo ng SG?

alexia02 · August 2014

@G_australia Hi. Welcome to the forum. Di ako Singapore citizen, pero i was once a Singapore PR. If you read back sa mga previous posts, marami sa ating mga forumers ang Sg based. Madali ka lng mkakuha ng Sg COC since you're based there. Ako i am offshore kaya mas mahirap. Read also sa thread ng Sg Police Clearance- it is very clear there how you go about the process. Regarding sa medicals, i would also suggest like the rest na you organise your medicals after you have lodged- u wouldn't mind waiting for a week or two, di ba?... If hindi naman kayo nagmamadali talaga...sa mga nabasa ko, if you apply for permanent visa, arrange your medicals after lodging your visa... Faster po kc ang update sa immi account sa mga experience ng mga forumers. It is still you who will decide for yourself in the end... These are just basis po...or better yet, consult a migration agent.
Kindly include naman po timeline niyo... God bless..

retake · August 2014

@G_australia - hi! pwedeng kumuha ng SG CoC kahit na wala pang CO or kahit hindi citizen. Punta ka lang sa Police Station sa may Outram Park MRT. Wala kasing nakalagay sa website ng SG Police about this, pero pwede kumuha kahit Foreigners.

Yung Form, sila na ang magbibigay sa iyo. $55 yung bayad at mga 3-4 weeks ang processing.

merickboy · August 2014

Hi everyone need your help! Kasi ngkproblem kami sa NBI clearance, I just received our NBI clearance ng wife ko through Ms. Sandra of NBI (great info in this forum) but the problem we just found out magkaiba pala kami ng address ni wife sa NBI clearance. Ung address namin sa SG mgkaiba pero status namin married. Hindi kaya mgkproblem kami po then if my CO kmi mquestion bakt magkaiba ang address namin? Tpos next week kasi kukuha kami ng SG police clearance we are thinking of address still. Waah. Laking problema yata nito. June applicant (june 26) din po ako im the main applicant. Sorry di ako marunong sa timeline. Waiting for CO na din. Thanks ulit.

bhoyet · August 2014

Good day,

Mag ask lang ako if meron na bng dentist dto na ngtry mg lodged ng visa 189?
Tnx

andrew_bonn · August 2014

tanong lang sa mga nakapag lodge na at nag uupload na ng documents. Papano pag nagkamali ng upload? Parang wala kasi ako makita option for Delete dun sa web page. Dko na ma modify ung maling file na upload ko.

G_australia · August 2014

@retake Hi!I guess I'll just wait nalang sa visa lodgement and CO assignment and for him to advise us kung kelan ang medicals and PCCs e submit.Pero ang NBI pwede ko naman cguro e process muna kaya?Talaga bang 2-3 weeks ang processing ng Sg COC?Di pa pwedeng ipa-expedite?Kasi di ba usually 28 days lang ang binibigay ng CO if ever to submit the other relevant docs?It is advised na as much as possible wag daw humingi ng extension from your CO para lang sa submission ng mga docs.Totoo din ba to?

bhoyet · August 2014

New lng po.. Pls help nman po.. Sino po dto ang dentist na ngaaply na for visa 189..
Tnx

just_g29 · August 2014

@G_australia pde mo na asikasuhin yung mga docs na needed khit di ka pa lodge ng visa.. ang advise lng ng mga ka-forum is conduct your medicals after you've lodged the visa.. sa mga docs dahil minsan matagal bago makuha.. ayusin na and ifrontload na after mglodge ng visa.. para pgka-allocate ng C0 sayo di na sya matagalan sa checking ng requirements mo. Kung hintayin mo pa sya before mgupload ng docs bka madelay pa approval ng visa..
