ImmiAccount - Visa 600 - Average processing time

LadyJinx28LadyJinx28 Posts: 1Member
in Visitor - Tourist Visa
Hello.

Just want to ask feedback on how long (or quick!) your visa/s was/were granted. This is via ImmiAccount for Visa 600.

Background: I am inviting my brother and nephew to visit for 2 mos. Already bought air tickets kasi sale (P20K roundtrip for 2pax!) with MNL departure date of 30 Apr. I was only able to lodge their application online on 25 Mar after all the required documents were returned to me. The scanner got whipped, hehe.

It has been a week and I am honestly a bit worried that their visas may not be granted before 30 Apr... mahal rebooking :P plus less time to spend here pa, given they're only visiting over my nephew's summer vacay from school. Sanay pa naman ako sa dating processing sa VIA Makati - one week lang. Thought this would be lesser hassle pero just noted the standard 6 weeks processing time ng online AFTER I bought the tickets... (Note to self : Tsk, tsk). Compounded with Easter break pa... (hyperventilate).

Please advise if you used this channel and how many days/weeks/months did you wait till visa grant... please, please, please share info (na sana 4 weeks or less!) so I can keep calm. :)

Salamat!

    Hi everyone,
    Bakit kaya "Application Received" pa din yung sa mum ko. 3 days since we submitted the application and it's still in "Application Received" status.
    Pinapagmedical din pala sya kasi may pneumonya sya before. Makakaapekto ba sa application yun?

    H! I lodged my online application for my family in the Phils as a group back in mid-January. It's been more than 1.5 mos na but my parents' ones are still under "Application Received" whereas my sis'/nephew's ones were finalised/approved after less than a month, no bond required. Would anyone know or have experienced this kind of delay? I don't know which email address to send my enquiry to. I tried ringing the hotline and all the lady advised was to "wait".

    if pinas based yung applicant that's normal, but i suggest you double check the documents you have uploaded to see whether there are any requirements missing.
