I submitted my claim in November 2018,got my notice of decision in May 2021, PR in April 2023.
I had submitted my application together with my overseas, their biometrics were done in October 2023. I'm so confused, how long does it take for overseas dependents and how is it calculated? Which dates are considered? I miss my daughter

Which visa office is treating your family’s application? And did they ask them to submit police certificates ?

We have however submitted PCC when our file was transferred in 2021 .

Hello everyone. My wife just became a protected person. She is about to apply for PR. My question is does the new TRV policy for spouses apply to dependents of Protected persons or is it only for family class applicants. If not which is a better route for applying TRV. Apply as someone who is going to stay there while the PR application is in progress or state that you are only there to visit your spouse and that you will return by showing home ties. Another question is, is applying PR together better than applying later as family class sponsorship because I have seen the timelines and they don't add up. It seems like the family class sponsorship after primary applicant gets the PR is faster.. Thank you

Congratulations to your wife however I feel the family sponsor is faster than applying for PR for all of you at once. What that means is that if she applies for everyone, you will have to wait for another 48months. So I suggest she does the family sponsor own.
Secondly the TRV widow does not cover dependent of a protected person. I applied when the law came out and I was refused will others with sponsor were approved. So it doesn't cover.
(My opinion)
