Hello Gary,Gary_87 said:so just called and got through straight away. turns out calling from oz means you're right at the start of the day!
said its still in processing and its almost done but not quite finished yet. said it could take another few weeks and that the 43 day average right now is not accurate.
Hopefully not another few weeks. She kept mentioning that we need to be aware that as we live overseas we need to provide proof of return which we did but seemed odd she mentioned it, when if that was an issue they would have requested it by now.
Not worried, but would be nice to know!
I applied in March and my application was forwarded to Sydney Visa office only because my wife is from the Fiji Islands. It took them a total of 3 months before they informed us that SA has been approved and that file has been transferred to Sydney visa office.
Thought this might help you. The process is slow but it gets through.
AarCee.
