Re: Spouse Permanent Resident Visa Rights
I've heard nothing from them yet - when I did ring to enquire I got a charming chappie who told me that by ringing I was basically holding them up from doing the processing:frown:
I might try to make another enquiry, but sounds like they're a tad on the busy side - but if 10 months is the go I'm not quite so worried, so thanks for that! |
Re: Spouse Permanent Resident Visa Rights
Well, I called the DIAC today and was told that the letter hadn't been sent out yet. They said that "it might have been overlooked or forgotten - that happens..."
They are now going to organise sending me out the letter, etc as soon as possible. (Not holding my breath!) |

Mikeyp I've just gone through the 2nd stage of my spouse visa and they said they would contact me within 90 days of my eligible date, my 2 year anniversary was 28 December so still a while to go! But in the paperwork there was an email address i could contact which is [email protected] might be worth a try!

Re: Spouse Permanent Resident Visa Rights
Hi I am confused now.
I was reading the start of this thread and i am in similar situation so was feeling re assured and then the second part of the Thread someone mentions a temporary PR visa for 2 years from the application date? What is that? I have a PR visa through my spouse we had to pay a bond into an account for 2 years but i am not aware of anything being temporary on my Permanent residency visa. Very confused :( |

Very confused :( Generally if you have been with your spouse for over 5 years then it is possible to be immediately granted a PR visa....and there are other circumstances where that MAY happen e.g. when there are kids involved. If you look at your visa label in your passport you'll know what kind of visa you have. http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/part...pouse/309-100/ |

There is no temporary PR visa. If when you apply for the visa you and your spouse have been together for less than 5 years (generally) then you will be granted a 'provisional' visa. 2 years after application if the relationship is still ongoing then you will likely be granted a PR visa.

Thanks for that. I did give them a call this afternoon and spoke to someone who confirmed that the process "can sometimes take 12 months or more....". However, she did check my file and confirmed that somebody "had worked on it this month" but she couldn't tell me what work that was - I guess they haven't forgotten me at least, but I don't think I'll be holding my breath for their response!

But It must've been a surprise for you after the bloke gave you a curt reponse about wasting his time. |

Kind regards Admin Support - Second Stage Team 299 Adelaide St Brisbane Qld 4000 GPO Box 9984 Brisbane Qld 4001 Queensland State Headquarters Even though I live in Brisbane my 2nd stage is being handled by Canberra. I heard rumours that all 2nd stage was now going through Canberra but this can't have been true in April 08. The other mystery is what documents people get requested. There doesn't seem to be a standard package. |
Re: Spouse Permanent Resident Visa Rights
I heard the same thing - that Canberra are processing all the 2nd stage requests, although I just got my letter through and I need to send it all back to Melbourne
