Partner Visa’s Processing Time Update | More Predictable Timeline
The Partner Visa Program for Australian immigration has recently shown notable trends in processing times, application lodgements, and refusal rates
What are the Current Processing Times for Partner Visa?
Stabilisation of Processing Times: The Partner section reports a median processing time of 10 to 11 months for partner visa applications. This indicates a stabilisation in the processing speed, which can provide applicants with more predictable timelines.
Offshore Partner Visa (Subclass 309) Visa Caseload: There has been a marked increase in the stability of processing times, specifically within the Partner visa (Provisional) (SC309) caseload, which is the temporary partner visa for those applying for permanent residency.
Partner Visa Application Lodgements Increased
There has been a 30% increase in lodgements compared to the previous program year. This surge may reflect the growing interest in partner visa options and possibly an increase in individuals seeking to join their partners in Australia.
What Are the Current Refusal Rates for Partner Visas?
The visa refusal rate for partner visa applications is currently around 4.7%. This relatively low rate suggests that most applications are being processed successfully, though applicants must meet all requirements to avoid refusals.
