Visa turnaround time from Australia.

Hi all just wanted to know others experience on how long it has taken recently for a visa from point of application to received for Australia..??

I applied online on Friday night....my biometric scans are on the 17th December. Any ideas on wait times greatly appreciated.

We are hoping to head to the UK first week of March....but don't want to book plane tickets till we recieve the visa! Fingers crossed we do recieve the visa.

I don't think anyone on here has applied for a visa from Australia.

Pretty much everyone here at UK-Y has applied from the US (or from within the UK), as it's a forum dedicated primarily to US to UK migration.

So, while we can help with the basic visa and document requirements, we don't have much information about applying from other countries or processing times in those countries.

You can check the most recent UKVI-published processing times for spousal visa applications made in Australia here though:

Thanks heaps

Just documenting in here.... Plus someone at some point might like this info like I did.

Applied online 5/12/14
Biometrics (paid for fast track) 17/12/14

Will update as I find out.

Try your question on this forum:

A lot of folk from Australia post there, and someone will likely be able to answer.

I recieved notification that a decision will be dispatched shortly.... And my passports should be returned soon.
